1 Kurhenga e Sela, omu irungu, kuhika oku ntondo y’omwâna-nyere Siyoni, murhumire mwâmi w’ecihugo omwâna-buzi.
2 Nka binyunyi byajà byayâka, nka byananyunyi bishabîrwe olôgo, ntyo kwo bali abâna-nyere b’e Mowabu aha mazîko ga Arnoni!
3 Badwîrhe baderha, mpu: «Mujè ihano, murhôle omuhigo! Mûshi kalengerêre, ecîhôho câwe ocîhindule mwizimya gwa budufu; ofulike ababunga, omanye wankafulûla abayisha bayâka!
4 “Ababunga b’e Mowabu oyêmêre babêre aha mwâwe; obè lwâkiro lwâbo embere za kashâba! Nêci, kashâba ahirigisire, ishâbâbè lyàhwîre, na kaheza arhaciri omu cihugo!”»
5 Entebe y’obwâmi yâsimikira oku lukogo; n’omu cihando ca Daudi, omucîranuzi mwîkubagirwa w’okulongereza obushinganyanya n’e by’okuli, abwârhala kuli eyo ntebe.
6 Rhwayumvîrhe emyanzi y’obucîbone bwa Mowabu, mpu arhahimwa kucîbona; rhwayumva emyanzi y’omuhimbo gwâge, n’obucîbone bwâge, n’omumino gwâge, n’ey’obucîtîme bwâge.
Endûlù ya Mowabu
7 Co cirhumire abantu b’e Mowabu badwîrhe balakira Mowabu; boshi boshi badwîrhe babanda endûlù. Emigati y’emizâbîbu y’e Kir-Harêseti yo badwîrhe balakira banazanyirwe!
8 Nêci, enkoma z’emizâbîbu y’e Heshiboni zayûmûsire, n’olukoma lw’emizâbîbu y’e Sibima, eyi irivayi lyâyo lyakazâg’ijimbîsa abarhegesi b’amashanja, kwo na kwo. Yakazâg’ilanda kuhika e Yazeri, ehabukîre omu irungu, n’amashami gâyo galande, garhaluke enyanja.
9 Co cirhumire ndwîrhe nalakira olukoma lw’emizâbîbu y’e Sibima rhwe n’abantu b’e Yazeri. Nakudômerera n’emirenge, wâni Heshiboni, na nâwe Eleyali, bulya akahababo kayumvikîne omu busarûle bwâwe n’omu myâka yâwe.
10 Omwîshingo n’enshagali byàhirigisire omu mashwa, n’omu nkoma z’emizâbîbu murhaciyumvikana nyimbo nîsi erhi izù ly’enshagali. Abakânzi barhacikandira irivayi omu mikenzi; izù ly’enshagali lirhaciyumvîkana.
11 Co cirhumire âmalà gâni gadwîrhe gadogoma nka lulanga erhi Mowabu orhuma, n’omurhima gwâni gudwîrhe gwahûmagirira Kir-Harêseti.
12 Bayish’ibona Mowabu aj’ayahagira, âsôkera oku ntondo, âgend’ishengera omu luhêro lwâge; ci arhamira busha.
13 Ako ko kanwa Nyakasane aderhaga kuli Mowabu kurhenga mîra.
14 Ci na bunôla Nyakasane adesire, erhi: «Enyuma lya myâka isharhu, nka kula baganja emyâka y’omulimya, irenge lya Mowabu lyalabarhwa, ciru akabà abantu bâge bali mwandu. Asigalana amahunga garhankagerwa bici.»
