1 Ku bwa Siyoni sinzocereza,

no ku bwa Yerusalemu sinzotekereza,

gushika ukugororoka kwiwe gukayanganye nk’umutwenzi,

n’agakiza kiwe kamuritse nk’urumuri.

2 Amahanga yose azokwihweza ukugororoka kwawe,

abami na bo babone ubwiza bwawe;

uzokwitwa izina rishasha,

iryo uzohabwa n’akanwa k’Uhoraho.

3 Uzoba urugori rw’ubwiza mu kuboko kw’Uhoraho,

n’urugori rw’ubwami mu biganza vy’Imana yawe.

4 Ntuzoba ucitwa intabwa,

canke ngo igihugu cawe bacite icahebwe.

Ariko uzokwitwa Hefuziba, bisigura "umugwa Uhoraho anezerererwa",

igihugu cawe na co citwe Beyula, bisigura "Uwarongowe";

kuko Uhoraho azokunezerererwa,

akwemere nk’uwiwe.

5 Nk’uko umukwe amenyana n’umugeni wiwe,

ni ko abakwubaka muzomenyana,

kandi nk’uko umukwe anezerererwa umugeni wiwe,

ni ko Imana yawe izokunezerererwa.

6 Nashize abateramyi ku nzitiro zawe, ewe Yerusalemu;

ntibazigera bahora haba ku murango canke mw’ijoro.

Yemwe abambaza Uhoraho,

ntimuruhuke,

7 kandi na we nyene ntimumwemerere ko aruhuka, gushika ahinduye Yerusalemu

ishimwe ryiwe kw’isi yose.

8 Uhoraho yararahiye n’ukuboko kwiwe kw’i buryo,

ari kwo kuboko kw’inkomezi, ati:

Sinzosubira kugabura ingano zanyu

ngo ndazihe abansi banyu bazirye,

kandi n’abanyamahanga ngo banywe imivinyu mishasha,

iyo mwaruhiye;

9 ariko abavyimbura ni bo bazobiryako

hanyuma bashime Uhoraho

kandi n’abazogana inzabibu bazozinywako,

bazinywere mu rugo rw’Ingoro yanje.

10 Nimurenge, nimurenge amarembo!

Mutegurire inzira abantu.

Nimuharure, muharure inzira zagutse!

Nimukure amabuye mu nzira.

Nimudugirize ibendera amahanga.

11 Uhoraho yatanze itegeko

gushika ku mpera z’isi zose ati:

"Nimubwire umukobwa w’i Siyoni muti:

‘Ehe Umukiza wawe araje!

Ehe aje azanye impera,

kandi impembo yiwe iramuherekeje.’ "

12 Bazokwitwa ubwoko bwera,

abacunguwe n’Uhoraho;

nawe uzokwitwa Uwipfuzwa,

Igisagara Kitahebwe.
