Imigani

 2 Ahantu hataramutse+ iruhande y’inzira,

ku masanganzira, ni ho buhagaze.

 3 Iruhande y’amarembo yinjira mu gisagara,

ku bwinjiriro bw’imiryango yaco,

buguma busemerera n’ijwi rirenga+ buti:

 4 «Ni mwebwe ndiko ndaha⁠magara, mwa bantu mwe!

Ndiko ndasemerera mbwira abantu bose*!

 5 Yemwe bantu mutagira ubwenge, nimwige kwiyubara+.

Mwa bijuju mwe, nimwironse ugutegera*.

 6 Nimunyumvirize, kuko ivyo mvuga bihambaye,

kandi iminwa yanje ivuga ibigororotse.

 7 Akanwa kanje kavuga ukuri n’ijwi ritoyi,

kandi iminwa yanje ntiyerekwa ikinyoma.

 9 Vyose birumvikana ku bantu bafise ugutahura,

kandi biragororotse ku bantu bafise ubumenyi.

10 Nimuhitemwo indero* yanje aho guhitamwo ifeza,

muhitemwo ubumenyi aho guhitamwo inzahabu nzizanziza+.

11 Kuko ubukerebutsi ari bwiza kuruta amabuye yitwa korali*.

Ibindi bintu vyose vy’agaciro ntivyogereranywa na bwo.

12 Jewe bukerebutsi mbana n’ukwiyubara.

Ubumenyi n’ubushobozi bwo kwiyumvira+ bibarizwa iwanje.

14 Ndafise impanuro nziza n’ubukerebutsi nyabwo+.

Ugutegera+ n’ububasha+ ni ivyanje.

15 Biciye kuri jewe, abami baguma baganza,

kandi abategetsi bakurubakuru bafata ingingo zigororotse+.

16 Biciye kuri jewe, abategetsi* baguma bategeka,

kandi abanyacubahiro baca imanza zigororotse.

17 Ndakunda abankunda,

kandi abandondera barandonka+.

18 Ubutunzi n’ubuninahazwa bibarizwa iwanje,

ubutunzi bwamaho* be n’ubugororotsi.

19 Ivyo ntanga ni vyiza kuruta inzahabu, mbere inzahabu ityoroye,

kandi ivyo nama ni vyiza kuruta ifeza nzizanziza+.

20 Ngendera mu nzira y’ubugororotsi,

hagati mu nzira y’ubutungane.

21 Abankunda ndabaha intoranwa nziza,

ibigega vyabo nkavyuzuza ibintu vy’agaciro.

22 Ni jewe Yehova yatanguriyeko kurema+,

intango y’ibikorwa vyiwe vya kera cane+.

23 Nashizweho kuva kera cane+,

kuva mu ntango, kuva isi itarabaho+.

24 Navyawe ibiyaga bitarabaho+,

inzuzi zuzuye amazi zitarabaho.

25 Navutse imitumba itarabaho,

imbere y’uko imisozi ishirwaho,

26 atararema isi n’agahinga*

canke ikinonko na kimwe c’ivu.

27 Igihe yategura ijuru+ ni ho nari.

Igihe yashiraho urubibe* rutandukanya ijuru n’ikiyaga+,

28 igihe yashira ibicu hejuru,

igihe yashiraho amasoko y’amazi yo mu kuzimu,

29 igihe yashingira ikiyaga itegeko

kugira amazi yaco ntarenge akarimbi yagishingiye*+,

igihe yashiraho* imishinge y’isi,

30 ico gihe nari iruhande yiwe nk’umukozi w’umuhanga+.

Yaranyiyumvamwo cane+ imisi yose.

Nama mpimbawe igihe cose imbere yiwe+.

31 Narahimbarwa n’isi yateguye kugira ibeko abantu,

kandi narakunda cane abana b’abantu*.

32 Ubu rero bane banje, nimunyumvirize.

Hahiriwe abagumya inzira zanje.

33 Nimwemere gutozwa indero+ maze mube inkerebutsi,

ntimwigere muyisuzugura.

34 Hahiriwe umuntu anyumviriza,

akama azindukira* ku muryango wanje buri musi,

akarindirira ku bwinjiriro bw’inzu yanje.

35 Kuko uwundonse aba aronse ubuzima+,

kandi arashimwa na Yehova.

36 Ariko uwunyirengagiza aba yigiriye nabi,

kandi abanyanka baba bakunda urupfu+.»
