1 Mwana wange, taho mutima ha magezi̱ gange,
otege ipokopo lyamu weetegeerye kwetegereza kwange,
2 aleke weege kubba mwegyenderezi̱,
niweegyendereza bigambu byokubaza.
3 Kubba mu̱nwa gwa mu̱kali̱ mwenzi̱ gu̱toonya b̯uhooki,
na bigambu byamwe biheheera nka maku̱ta,
4 bei̱tu̱ hei̱nyu̱ma aluluha nka ndulu,
asala nka mpirima, giwa b̯wogi b̯ubiri.
5 Magulu gaamwe gatwala mu ku̱zi̱ka,
mihanda myamwe mi̱si̱ri̱mu̱ra kuzumu.
6 Eicala kwahi mu muhanda gwa b̯womi,
yenjeera, atali na ki̱yeegi̱ri̱.
7 Kale nu baana bange, mu̱nzegwe,
mutaliruga hali bigambu binkubaweera.
8 Mu̱kali̱ yogwo mu̱mwehalenge,
na mulyangu gwamwe mu̱tali̱gwesu̱maho,
9 b̯umutamwehale, byakwekamba kwenyu̱ bilitwalwa bandi,
mu̱li̱kwera mu ngalu za batemu.
10 Banyamahanga balitwala itungu lyenyu̱,
kwekamba kwenyu̱ ni̱ku̱gu̱u̱dahaarya bandi!
11 Hooli̱kwera olibba nookutaaga,
waanu̱ki̱ri̱ kudwereera ki̱mwei̱ kwi̱ku̱ha.
12 Olikoba yati, “Wona nka ku̱nnyaaswi̱ri̱ kulambwa!
Wona mutima gwange nka ku̱gwagayi̱ri̱ kuhab̯urwa!
13 Ntakeegwe beegesa bange
ntakateho mutima kukwata bi̱bambwerenge.
14 Nnyeezagi̱i̱rye mu kabii kanyamaani
mu mei̱so ga bantu ba Ruhanga.”
15 Mu̱kali̱ waamu abba nkei̱zu̱ba lya meezi̱ gei̱cu̱mi̱,
Weewe wankei onywenge meezi̱ gei̱zu̱ba lyamu,
weewe wankei onywenge gakukulukuta.
16 Hab̯waki misu myamu mikulukuutira hensei̱,
na meezi̱ gaamu gahetera mu ngu̱u̱do?
17 I̱zu̱ba lyamu lili lyamu wankei,
tilili lyakunywa na bandi.
18 Mukama alihe mu̱gi̱sa,
weegonzenge na mu̱kali̱ wa mu b̯usigazi b̯wamu,
19 murungi nka mparaaki, wa mbabazi̱ nka mu̱nsi̱hi̱,
salaka gyamwe gyaku̱hu̱u̱mu̱lyanga biro byensei̱.
20 Mwana wange, mu̱kali̱ mwenzi̱, weegombi̱ri̱ waaki?
Hab̯waki ob̯u̱mbati̱ri̱ mu̱kali̱ atali waamu?
21 Kubba Mukama, awona byensei̱ byokora,
yeekebeeja b̯uli muhanda gwa muntu.
22 Muntu akwatwa bibiibi byamwe,
kandi abbohwa miguha mya bibii byamwe.
23 B̯uteerinda b̯u̱kwi̱za ku̱mwi̱ti̱sya,
hab̯wa b̯udoma b̯wamaani akwi̱za kuhwerekeera.
