1 Uhoraho, niwibuke Dawidi

n’amarushwa yiwe yose.

2 Yarahiye Uhoraho indahiro,

yasezeraniye Inyenkomezi ya Yakobo ati:

3 "Sinzokwinjira mu nzu yanje

canke ngo nurire uburiri bwanje,

4 sinzokwemerera amaso yanje gusinzira

canke ingohe zanje guhunyiza,

5 kugeza aho nzoronkera Uhoraho ikibanza,

inzu y’Inyenkomezi ya Yakobo."

6 Twavyumviye muri Efurata,

twabisanze mu gahinga k’i Yayari ngo:

7 "Nimuze tuje mu ngoro yiwe,

nimuze dusengere ku ndava yiwe, tuti:

8 ‘Haguruka, ewe Uhoraho, uze mu buruhukiro bwawe,

wewe n’Isandugu ari co ki kimenyetso c’inkomezi zawe.

9 Abaherezi bawe nibambare ukugororoka kwawe,

abizigirwa bawe bavuze impundu.’ "

10 Ku bwa Dawidi umusavyi wawe,

ntushiburire kure uwo warobanuje amavuta.

11 Uhoraho yarahiye Dawidi indahiro,

ni iy’ukuri ntazokwisubirako ngo:

"Umwe wo mu ruvyaro rwawe

nzomwimika ku ntebe yawe y’ubwami.

12 Abana bawe nibagumya isezerano ryanje

n’ivyo nashinze nkabibigisha,

nuko abana babo bazokwicara

ku ntebe yawe y’ubwami ibihe vyose."

13 Kuko Uhoraho yatoranije Siyoni,

yavyipfuje ari iwe avuga ati:

14 "Aha ni ahantu hanje ho kuruhukira ibihe n’ibihe;

aha ni ho nzovyagira nganze, kuko navyipfuje;

15 Nzohaha umugisha w’ibintu,

abakene baho bazohazwa ivyokurya.

16 Nzokwambika abaherezi baho agakiza,

n’abizigirwa baho bazokwama bavuza impundu!

17 Aha ni ho nzotuma ihembe rya Dawidi rikura

kandi nzodomeka itara ry’uwo narobanuje amavuta.

18 Nzotuma abansi biwe bamaramara,

ariko umutwe wiwe uzosharizwa n’urugori rukayangana."
