1 Yewe Uhoraho, ibihe vyose uragororotse,

igihe ndakuzaniye urubanza.

Ariko nagomba mvugane nawe ku vy’ubutungane:

Ni kuki abanyakibi batera imbere?

Ni kuki abatizera biberaho neza?

2 Warabateye, bashora imizi;

barakura bama ivyamwa.

Bakwamana mu kanwa kabo

mugabo uri kure y’imitima yabo.

3 Ariko jeho uranzi, yewe Uhoraho;

urambona kandi uzi n’ivyiyumviro nkwiyumvirako.

Nubatware nk’intama zigiye kubagwa!

Ubabikire umusi wo gusogotwa!

4 Igihugu kizogeza ryari kugandara

n’ivyatsi ku misozi kwama bikabiranye?

Kuko ababa muri co ari abanyakibi,

ibikoko n’ibiguruka vyahonye.

Vyongeye, abantu bavuga bati:

"Ntazobona ibiriko biradushikako."

5 "Nimba wasiganywe n’abiruka n’amaguru

kandi bakakuruhisha,

woshobora ute gusiganwa n’amafarasi?

Ko utsitara mu gihugu kirimwo impore,

uzobigenza gute igihe Yorodani ruzoba rwarenze inkombe?

6 Abavukanyi bawe, umuryango wawe bwite,

na bo nyene baguhemukiye;

baguhagurukiye ngo bakugwanye.

Ntubizigire,

naho bakuvuga neza.

7 Nzoheba inzu yanje,

nzoreka n’iragi ryanje;

nzotanga umwe nkunda

mu maboko y’abansi biwe.

8 Iragi ryanje ryampindukiye

nk’intare mw’ishamba.

Riraroha rimbonye;

ni co gituma ndaryanka.

9 Mbega iragi ryanje ntiryambereye

nk’igisiga c’amero gifise amabara menshi

ibindi bisiga vy’amero bikikuza ngo bikirye?

Genda mukoranye ibikoko vyose vyo mw’ishamba;

mubizane kugira ngo bishihagure amazimano.

10 Abungere benshi bazohonyanga uruzabibu rwanje

kandi bazohonyanga umurima wanje;

bazohindura umurima wanje nakunda

ahantu h’ubugaragwa bw’agahinga.

11 Hazohindurwa agahinga,

ahantu hahebwe kandi h’ubugaragwa imbere yanje;

igihugu cose kizoba ubugaragwa

kuko ata n’umwe abibabaye.

12 Ku dutwe twose tw’imisozi yose yo mu bugaragwa

abasambura ni ho bazoca,

kuko inkota y’Uhoraho izoririka

kuva ku mpera y’igihugu gushika ku yindi;

nta n’umwe azokira.

13 Bazobiba ingano ariko bimbure amahwa;

bazotama cane ariko ntihagire ico bunguka.

Bazomaramazwe n’ivyo bimbuye

ku bw’uburake bw’inkazi bw’Uhoraho."

14 Uku ni ko Uhoraho avuze: "Ku babanyi banje babi bafashe ishamvu nahaye abantu banje b’Abisirayeli, nzobarandura ndabakure mu bihugu vyabo ndandure n’inzu ya Yuda ndayikure hagati muri bo. 15 Ariko ninamara kubarandura, nzosubira ndabagirire imbabazi ngarukane umwe wese wo muri bo mw’ishamvu yiwe no mu gihugu ciwe bwite. 16 Kandi nibiga neza inzira z’abantu banje bakarahira mw’izina ryanje, bavuga bati: ‘Ni ukuri nk’uko Uhoraho ari muzima,’ naho babanje kwigisha abantu banje ngo barahire mw’izina rya Bayali, nuko bazoronka ikibanza mu bantu banje. 17 Ariko nihagira ihanga na rimwe ritumvira, nzorirandura rwose kandi ndariherengeteze," ni ko Uhoraho avuze.
