7 Yewe Uhoraho, warampenze, nanje ndemera;

wandushije inkomezi uranesha.

Nahindutse ikimaramare umusi urira;

bose barantwenga.

8 Iyo mvuze, ndasemerera

menyesha umuryano n’uguhona.

None rero ijambo ry’Uhoraho ryanzaniye

gutukwa no gucokorwa rikarinda rirenga.

9 Ariko iyo mvuze nti: "Sinzovuga ijambo ryiwe

canke ngo nsubire kuvuga mw’izina ryiwe,"

ijambo ryiwe rica rimera nk’umuriro mu mutima wanje,

umuriro ukaka mu magufa yanje.

Ndarushe no kuvyihanganira;

ni ukuri, sindabishoboye.

10 Numva benshi bongorerana bati:

"Ibiteye ubwoba impande zose!

Murege! Reka tumurege!"

Abagenzi banje bose

biteze ko ntirimuka, bakavuga bati:

"Kumbure bomusuka;

natwe tugaca tumunesha,

tukamwihora."

11 Ariko Uhoraho ari kumwe nanje nk’umuhizi w’inkomezi;

ni co gituma abangwanya bazotsitara,

ntibazonesha.

Bazotemba rwose maze bamaramare;

kandi ibiteterwe vyabo ntibizokwigera vyibagiranwa.

12 Yewe Uhoraho Mushoboravyose, wewe usuzuma abagororotsi,

ugatandukanya umutima n’umushaha,

uze umpe kubona uguhora kwawe kuri bo,

kuko urubanza rwanje naruguhaye.

13 Ririmbira Uhoraho!

Himbaza Uhoraho!

Akiza ubugingo bw’umukene

abukuye mu maboko y’abanyakibi.

14 Umusi navukiyeko urakavumwa!

Umusi mama yamvyariyeko ntugahezagirwe!

15 Uwazaniye inkuru data arakavumwa,

uwatumye anezerwa, akavuga ati:

"Uronse umwana, umuhungu!"

16 Uwo muntu arakaba nk’ibisagara

Uhoraho yasambuye ata kagongwe.

Arakumva akaruru mu gatondo,

akaruru k’intambara mu mashoka.

17 Kubera ko atanyishe nkiri mu nda,

ngo mama ampindukire imva,

ku buryo nigumira muri we ibihe vyose.

18 Ni kuki navutse nkava mu nda

ngo mbone umubabaro n’amarushwa

kandi ngo ndangirize imisi yanje mu biteterwe?
