2 Okengêre oku alahiriraga Nyakasane, okengêre eciragâne àlaganyagya Mugala-byoshi wa Yakôbo, erhi:
3 «Ntasheshere omu cirâlo nti omu mwâni, ntasôkere oku ncingo nti ngwîshîre,
4 ntanayêmêre amasù gâni gajà îrò, ntâzigè engohe zâni zarhamûka
5 ntanacibonera Nyakasane ahantu, ntanacibonera Mugala-byoshi wa Yakôbo ecirâlo.»
6 Lolà oku badwîrhe baguderha omu Efrata, rhwagushanzire omu bihugo by’emuzirhu.
7 Rhuhike omu mwâge, rhuharâmize aha magulu gâge.
8 Yimuka, Nyamwagirwa, ojè aha warhamûkira, mwe n’omucîmba gw’obwâmi bwâwe.
9 Abadâhwa bâwe bacîhundikîre n’obushinganyanya, n’abemêzi bâwe bahubulize n’omwîshingo.
10 Mâshi mâshi, mwambali wâwe Daudi orhumire, omanye wakayôza omushîge wâwe.
11 Nyakasane alahirîre Daudi, àmulaganya endagâno y’enkwîra, eryâla erhatûbwamwo, erhi: «Mwâna ôburha nâtamaza oku ntebe yâwe.»
12 Erhi: «Abâna bâwe bâkalanga eciragâne câni, bakanalanga amarhegeko nâbarhegekaga, abâna bâbo nabo, bâtamala oku ntebe yâwe ensiku zoshi.»
13 Bulya nêci Nyakasane acîshozire Siyoni, àcîmwîshozire mpu eshube ntebe yâge, erhi:
14 «Kuno kwo nkola nakaziluhûkira ensiku zoshi»; erhi: «Kuno kwo nkola nayûbaka bulya kuno kwo ncîshozire.»
15 Erhi: «Ebijiro byakwo nkolaga nabigisha, n’abakenyi bakwo mbayîguse mugati.
16 Abadâhwa bakwo nkolaga nababwîka obucire, n’abemêzi bakwo bashembuke n’omwîshingo.
17 Eyo munda yo nâmereza Daudi ihembe, nnankolêgeze omushîge wâni akamole.
18 Abamushomba boshi nâbabonêsa nshonyi, n’irhwe lyâge lilabukekwo akashambala kâni.»
