Kuhab̯ura kundi ha Mu̱kali̱ Mwenzi̱
1 Mwana wange, kwatanga bigambu byange

2 Obikwatenge mwa kwomeera,

3 obyebbohenge ha ngalu zaamu,
obihandiike ha mutima gwamu.
4 Oweerenge magezi̱, “Weewe nyakeetu̱,”
weetanga kwetegereza mwijuwo,
5 bilikujuna mukaa wondi,
na yogwo mwohya.
6 Haloho kiro ki̱nyeemereeri̱ ku di̱ri̱sa
nyaalingiira hanzei,
7 nyaaweeni̱ho basigazi, ntwarwa,
nyeetegerezamwo omwei̱,
atakabbe na magezi̱,
8 naakulibalibata heigemero lya ngu̱u̱do,
heehi̱ na nnyu̱mba gya mu̱kali̱,
naakugyenda wu yogwo mu̱kali̱
9 joojolo, kaswekusweku,
b̯wi̱re nib̯ukubbumba, mu kati̱ti̱.
10 Wona mu̱kali̱ ku̱yaamu̱tangi̱ri̱i̱ri̱,
alweri̱ nka malaaya, ku̱mwohya.
11 (Mu̱kali̱ yogwo wampaka, mu̱jeemu̱,
teicara kwamu̱gi̱,
12 nka hati̱, omwegwera ku ru̱gu̱u̱do, ha katali,
naakutegatega.)
13 B̯u̱yaakaweeni̱ musigazi, amub̯umbatira amunwegera,
amu̱ku̱ndu̱li̱ra mei̱so amuweera:
14 “Mmpongi̱ri̱yo deeru kyonzira kya b̯u̱si̱nge,
nyaadoosereerya bi̱byo bi̱nyeeragi̱ri̱,
15 kyokyo nnzi̱ri̱ kukutangiira,
nceeri̱ ni̱nku̱toolya, nkwagi̱i̱rye!
16 Ntabbu gyange ngyali̱ri̱ho suuka zirungi,
ziwa rangi̱, zi̱nyi̱ri̱ru̱ za Mi̱si̱ri̱.
17 Ngi̱fu̱hi̱ri̱i̱ri̱ maku̱ta gaku̱wu̱nya kurungi,
b̯ubbaani, migaaju na bi̱b̯u̱nya bindi.
18 I̱za twegonze i̱jolo lyensei̱,
twolokyengane ngonzi.
19 Hab̯wakubba ibange waahi̱yo,
yaagyendi̱ri̱ hadei,
20 yaatwalageeni̱ sente zinene,
akwi̱ra i̱nyu̱ma lya sabbi̱i̱ti̱ ibiri.”
21 Kwokwo yaamu̱sooni̱ri̱ naaku̱mu̱du̱u̱pa,
yaamu̱gobya naakumusikiriza.
22 Nahaahwo musigazi yaamuhondere,
nka nnumi gikutwalwa mwibagiro,
nka mu̱nsi̱hi̱ gu̱sambi̱ri̱ mutegu,
23 ku̱doosya gu̱tu̱ti̱i̱rwe nigukakwa,
nka ki̱nyoni̱ ki̱ku̱zeenyera mu mutegu,
ti̱yeegi̱ri̱ kwakugyenda ku̱kwa.
24 Kale nu baana bange, mu̱nyeetegeerye,
mu̱kwate bigambu binkubaweera.
25 Mu̱kali̱ yogwo atalibahugura mitima,
mutalihondera mihanda myamwe,
26 hab̯wakubba eti̱si̱i̱rye badulu banene,
tibasobora kubabalwa.
27 Nnyu̱mba gyamwe gi̱si̱ru̱mu̱ra kuzumu,
cali hali bi̱si̱i̱ka bya Lu̱ku̱u̱.
