Zaburi

144 Hahezagirwe Yehova we Gitandara canje+,

Uwigisha amaboko yanje kurwana+,

Akigisha intoke zanje intambara;

 2 Ni we buntu bwuzuye urukundo bwanje n’igihome canje gikomeye+,

Ahantu hanje hakirurutse hatagira inkomanzi akaba n’uwunkiza+,

Inkinzo yanje+ akaba n’uwo nahungiyemwo+,

Umwe amara igabo ibisata vy’abantu munsi yanje+.

 3 Ewe Yehova, umuntu ni iki ngo umwitwararike+,

Umwana w’umuntu buntu+ ngo umwiteho?

 4 Umuntu ubwiwe ameze nk’impemu nsa zisohotse+;

Imisi yiwe ni nk’igitutu gihita+.

 5 Ewe Yehova, nuhete amajuru yawe, umanuke+;

Nukore ku misozi, ifumbe umwotsi+.

 6 Nuravye imiravyo, ubasanzaze+;

Rungika imyampi yawe, ubate mu muvurungano+.

 7 Tuma amaboko yawe uri iyo hejuru+;

Numbohore, undokore muri ya mazi menshi+,

Mu kuboko kw’abanyamahanga+,

 8 Abo akanwa kabo kavuze ivy’ububeshi+,

Ukuryo kwabo na kwo kukaba ari ukuryo kw’ikinyoma+.

 9 Ewe Mana, nzokuririmbira ururirimbo rushasha+.

Ku gicurarangisho c’imirya cumi, nzoguhibongoreza+,

10 Umwe aha ubukiriro abami+,

Umwe aha Dawidi umusavyi wiwe kwidegemvya akamukiza inkota ikora inabi+.

11 Numpe kwidegemvya, undokore mu kuboko kw’abanyamahanga+,

Abo akanwa kabo kavuze ivy’ububeshi+,

Ukuryo kwabo na kwo kukaba ari ukuryo kw’ikinyoma+,

12 Bakavuga bati: “Abahungu bacu ni nk’uduterwa dutoduto twakuze mu buto bwatwo+,

Abakobwa bacu na bo nk’imfuruka zibajwe kurya bashariza ikirimba,

13 Ubushinguro bwacu bukaba bwuzuye, bukagenda buratanga ibintu vy’ubwoko butandukanye+,

Imikuku yacu ikongerekana, umwumwe ukigwiza ibihumbi, ibihumbi cumi, mu mabarabara yacu,

14 Inka zacu zikaba ziremerewe, ata kumena canke kuramburura+,

Kandi ata maborogo mu bibanza vyacu vya bose+.

15 Hahiriwe abantu ivyabo bimeze gutyo!”

Hahiriwe abantu Imana yabo ari Yehova+!
