Indirimbo ya Asafu.+

2 Dore abanzi bawe barivumbagatanyije;+
Abakwanga urunuka bashyize imitwe yabo hejuru.+
3 Bajya inama rwihishwa bagacura imigambi mibi y’amayeri yo kugirira nabi ubwoko bwawe,+
Bakagambanira abantu bawe urindira mu bwihisho.+
4 Baravuze bati “nimuze tubakureho ntibakomeze kuba ishyanga,+
Kugira ngo izina rya Isirayeli ritazibukwa ukundi.”+
5 Bunze ubumwe bajya inama mu mitima yabo,+
Bagirana isezerano ryo kukurwanya:+
6 Abo mu mahema ya Edomu,+ Abishimayeli, Abamowabu+ n’Abahagari,+
7 Gebali na Amoni+ na Amaleki,
U Bufilisitiya+ hamwe n’abaturage b’i Tiro.+
8 Ashuri na yo yifatanyije na bo;+
Batije amaboko bene Loti.+ Sela.

10 Barimburiwe muri Eni-Dori;+

N’abanyacyubahiro babo bose ubagenze nk’uko wagenje Zeba na Salumuna,+
12 Bo bavuze bati “muze twigarurire ubuturo bw’Imana.”+
13 Mana yanjye, ubagire nk’ibyatsi bitwawe na serwakira,+
Nk’ibikenyeri bihuhwa n’umuyaga.+
14 Ubagire nk’umuriro utwika ishyamba,+
Nk’ibirimi by’umuriro bikongora imisozi;+
15 Uko abe ari ko ubakurikiza umuyaga wawe w’ishuheri,+
Ubateze inkubi y’umuyaga+ wawe bahagarike umutima.
16 Yehova, wuzuze igisuzuguriro mu maso habo,+
Kugira ngo abantu bashake izina ryawe.+
17 Baragakorwa n’isoni kandi bahagarike umutima iteka ryose,+
Bamware kandi barimbuke,+
18 Kugira ngo abantu bamenye+ ko wowe witwa Yehova,+
Ari wowe wenyine Usumbabyose+ mu isi yose.+
