1Zaburi ya Asafu.
Mana, abanyamahanga baje mu mwandu wawe,
Bahumanijeurusengero rwawe rwera,
Bashenye i Yerusalemu bahagize ibirundo.
2Intumbi z'abagaragu bawe bazihaye ibisiga byo hejuru ngo bizirye,
Inyama z'abakunzi bawe bazihaye inyamaswa zo mu isi.
3Amaraso yabo impande zose z'i Yerusalemu bayavushije nk'umenaamazi,
Ntibabona gihamba.
4Duhindutse igitutsi ku baturanyi bacu,
Ibitwenge no gukobwa by'abatugose.
5Uwiteka,uzageza he kurakara iteka ryose?
Ishyari ryawe rizaka nk'umuriro?
6Sukaumujinya wawe ku mahanga atakuzi,
No ku bwami bwose butambaza izina ryawe.
7Kuko bariye Abayakobo,
Barimbuyeubuturobwabo.
8Ntiwibuke gukiranirwa kwa ba sogokuruzangoukuduhore,
Imbabazi zawe zitebuke kudusanganira,
Kuko ducishijwe buguficyane.
9Mana y'agakiza kacuudutabare,
Ku bw'icyubahiro cy'izina ryawe,
Udukizeutwikire ibyaha byacu ku bw'izina ryawe.
10Kuki abapagani babaza bati
“Imana yabo iri he?”
Guhōrera amaraso y'abagaragu bawe yavuye,
Kumenyekane mu bapagani imbere yacu.
11Kunihakw'imbohe kuze imbere yawe,
Nk'ukoukubokokwawe gukomeye,
Kiza abategekewe gupfa.
12Kandi witure abaturanyi bacu karindwi,
Ibitutsi bagututse Mwami.
13Natwe abantu bawe, intama zo mu cyanya cyawe,
Tuzabigushimira iteka,
Tuzerekana ishimwe ryawe kugezaibihe byose.
