1 Aho Abisirayeli bava muri Egiputa,

aho aba Yakobo bava mu bantu b’ururimi rudebagura,

2 I Buyuda hahindutse ahera h’Imana,

muri Isirayeli hahindutse ubwami bwiwe.

3 Ikiyaga carabibonye kirahunga,

Yorodani rusubira inyuma;

4 imisozi yarasimvye nk’amapfizi y’intama,

uturambi na two nk’imyagazi y’intama.

5 Ni igiki catumye uhunga ga wa kiyaga we?

Ni kuki wasubiye inyuma, ewe Yorodani?

6 Ni kuki, yemwe misozi, mwikinye amatavu nk’amapfizi y’intama,

namwe turambi, nk’imyagazi y’intama?

7 Wa si we, hindira agashitsi imbere y’Uhoraho,

imbere y’Imana ya Yakobo,

8 yahinduye igitandara kiba ikidengeri,

urutare akaruhinduramwo isoko y’amazi.
