1 Efurayimu arya umuyaga;

akurikira umuyaga uturutse mu buseruko rikarinda rirenga,

akagwiza ibinyoma n’umuryano.

Yagiriraniye amasezerano na Ashuri

kandi yarungitse amavuta ya elayo muri Egiputa.

2 Uhoraho arafise ivyo yagiriza Abayuda;

azohana Yakobo ibihuye n’inzira ziwe

kandi azomwishura ibihwanye n’ibikorwa vyiwe.

3 Akiri mu nda yaniganye na mukuruwe amufashe igitsintsiri;

amaze gukura naho anigana n’Imana.

4 Yaniganye n’umumarayika aratsinda;

yararize asaba umuhezagiro.

Aho i Beteli, yabonye Imana imbonankubone

maze Imana ivuganira na we aho hantu.

5 Uhoraho Imana Mushoboravyose,

Uhoraho ni ryo zina ryiwe!

6 Nuko rero, ubu nimugaruke ku Mana

mugumye urukundo n’uguca imanza zibereye,

maze mwame mwiteze Imana yanyu imisi yose.

7 Ariko si uko biri, umudandaza akoresha iminzane ibesha

agakunda inyungu mbi.

8 Efurayimu arishima ngo:

Ndatunze cane; narironkeye ubutunzi.

Nta woronka ico anyagiriza mu butunzi bwanje bwose

nk’icaha canke kugabitanya.

9 Ariko, namye ndi Uhoraho Imana yawe

kuva ukiva muri Egiputa;

nzotuma usubira kuba mu mahema kandi,

nka kurya kwo mu misi mikuru yawe yashinzwe.

10 Navuganye n’abavugishwa banje ndabagutumako,

ntuma berekwa vyinshi

ndakubwira mu migani myinshi ncishije muri bo.

11 Mbega ab’i Gileyadi ni abanyakibi?

Abantu baho nta co bamaze!

Mbega bashikanira ibimazi vyabo i Gilugali?

Ibicaniro vyabo bizoba nk’ibirundo vy’amabuye

biri mu busize.

12 Yakobo yahungiye mu gihugu ca Aramu,

Isirayeli yarakoze ngo aronke umugore,

kugira ngo amukwe yaragiye intama.

13 Uhoraho yakoresheje uwuvugishwa na we ngo adugane Isirayeli amukuye muri Egiputa,

yakoresheje uwavugishwa na we ngo abe umwungere w’abantu biwe.

14 Ariko Efurayimu yamuteye uburake bw’inkazi;

Umwami wiwe azomusubiza ku mutwe amaraso yasheshe

kandi azomusubiriza mu nkoko ivyaha vyiwe.
