2Maze Yona asengera Uwiteka Imana ye mu nda y'urufiati
3“Nagize ibyago ntakira Uwiteka aransubiza,
Nahamagariye mu nda y'ikuzimu,
Wumva ijwi ryanjye.
4Kuko wanjugunye imuhengeri mu nyanja,
Umwuzurewarangose,
Ibigogo byawe n'imiraba yawe byose byarandengeye.
5Ndavuga nti ‘Nciwe imbere yawe,
Ariko nzongera kurebaurusengero rwawe rwera.’
6Amazi yarantwikiriye angera ku bugingo,
Imuhengeri harangose,
Urwuya rwanyizingiye mu mutwe.
7Ndamanuka njya mu mizi y'imisozi,
Isi n'ibihindizo byayo binkingira ibihe byose,
Arikounkuriraubugingo muri rwa rwobo,
Uwiteka Mana yanjye.
8Ubwoumutimawanjye wiheberaga mu nda nibutse Uwiteka,
No gusenga kwanjye kwakugezeho mu rusengero rwawe rwera.
9Aberekezaumutimaku bitagiraumumaroby'ibinyoma,
Baba bimūyeubababarira.
10Ariko jyeweho nzagutambira igitambo n'ijwi ry'ishimwe,
Kandi nzahiguraumuhigowanjye,
Agakiza gaturukaku Uwiteka.”
