Hazabahw igihe cy' imperuka

Hazabahw igihe cy’ imperuka

Urubanza rucibwe na Yesu

Azarucir’ abaremwe bose

Kuko bazaba bar’ imbere ye

Nibw’ azaherakw abarobanura

Nk’ umwungeri mu ntama n’ ihene:

Intama niz’ azashyir’ iburyo bwe,

Ibumos’ azaha shyir’ ihene

Maze Yes’ azabwir’ ah’ iburyo ati:

Ngwino mwahaw’ umugisha

Dor’ ubgami mwahamagariwe

Uhereye ku kuremwa kw’ isi

Uwo muns’ azabashimira cyane

Bazarabagirana nk’ izuba

Azabamurikir’ Imana Data

Hazabah’ umunezero mwinshi

Azabwira abo b’ ibury’ ati:

Nari nshonje muramfungurira

Mwaranshumbikiye nd’ umushyitsi

Mwaranyambitse nambay’ ubusa

Na bo bati: Ryari war’ umushyitsi,

Cyangwa ryari twakubony’ ushonje,

Ryari twakubonye wambay’ ubusa

Tugukorer’ ibyo byos’ uvuze?

Azabwira ab’ ibumoso bwe ati:

Muv’ aho ndi mwabivume,

Nimugende mujye mu muriro

Wa Satani hamwe n’ ingabo ze

Ntimwamfunguriy’ ubwo nari nshonje

Mfit’ inyota ntimwampay’ amazi

Nar’ umushyitsi ntimwanshumbikira

Ntimwansuye ubwo nari ndwaye.

Nuko bazabwir’ Umwami Yesu bati:

Ryan twakubony’ ushonje?

Ryari twakubony’ ufit’ inyota?

Ryari twakubony’ ur’ umushyitsi?

Ryari twakubony’ urwaye, Mukiza?

Ryari twakubonyehw ibyo byose?

Ibyo byos’ uvuze ntitwabibonye

Ngo tubure kukwerek’ ineza

Nuko Yes’ azabwir’ ab’ iburyo,

ndets’ abwire n’ ab’ ibumoso bwe ati:

Byose mwakorey’ abato

Burya ni jye mwabikoreraga

Bose bazibuk’ ; byo bakoraga

Hazarira abo b’ ibumoso

Ab’ iburyo bazajyanwa mw juru

Bazahora banezerw’ iteka
