Ngiisi kwo bali mu yikumba mwiꞌgulu
Ha nyuma, nanalangiiza, nanabona mwiꞌgulu, ulwivi lukola luyigule. Nanayuvwa lirya izu írikadihiriza nga lyeꞌkibuga. Lirya izu, lyanashubi mbwira: «Uyijage ino munda, gira nguyereke ngiisi íbigaki koleka!»
Lyeryo, nanaba mu kati koꞌMutima. Nanabonaga mwiꞌgulu muteresirwi ikitumbi kyoꞌbwami. Na úwâli kibwatiiri kwo, âli kizi keyengana bweneene, ngiꞌbuye yasipi,* kandi iri saridwane. Kirya kitumbi kyage, kyâli soosirwi noꞌmukuruzi, gwâli kizi langashana bweneene ngiꞌbuye sikaribukile. Kyanâli sokaniinwi neꞌbindi bitumbi byoꞌbwami makumi gabiri na bina. Ku yibyo bitumbi, kwâli bwatiiri abashaaja makumi gabiri na bana. Bâli yambiiti imirondo myeru. Na ku matwe gaabo, bâli yambiiti injembe ízikatulwa mu nooro. Mu kirya kitumbi kyoꞌbwami, mwanakizi lavya ibiryamu. Hâli riiri neꞌmilavyo, neꞌmikungulo. Neꞌmbere lyakyo, hâli riiri amatara galinda, ágâli yasiri bweneene! Yago matara, inali yo mitima irinda ya Rurema. Haaho imbere lyeꞌkitumbi kyoꞌbwami, hâli yajabiini nga nyaaja. Iyo nyaaja yâli shushiri nga kilolero íkitwanganusiri bweneene, íkiri mweꞌnyezi-nyezi!
Kirya kitumbi kyoꞌbwami, ngiisi kwo kyâli riiri yaho ha kati, kyâli zungulusirwi neꞌbingisho-ngisho bina bigumaana. Yibyo bingisho-ngisho, byâli yijwiragi kwaꞌmasu imbere neꞌmugongo. Ikingisho-ngisho kya mbere, kyâli shushiini neꞌndare. Neꞌkya kabiri, kyâli shushiini neꞌshuuli. Neꞌkya kashatu, amalanga gaakyo gâli riiri nga ga mundu. Neꞌkya kana, kyâli shushiini na nyunda úgweti úgabalala. Ngiisi kingisho-ngisho, kyâli hiiti ibyubi birindatu-birindatu. Yibyo byubi, byâli yijwiri kwaꞌmasu mu nda neꞌmugongo. Yibyo bingisho-ngisho, biyamiri biri mu yimba kwokuno úbwakya-úbwayira:
«Nahano Rurema woꞌbushobozi bwoshi, ali mweru! Ali mweru! Ali mweru!
Ye kiri ho, ye wanâli yamiri ho! Ye ganaki yija!»
Ulya úbwatiiri ku kitumbi kyoꞌbwami, ye yamiragi ho imyaka neꞌmyakuula. Na ngiisi kyanya birya bingisho-ngisho bina biri mu yimba inyimbo zoꞌkumúheereza ubulangashane, noꞌlushaagwa, noꞌbwivuge, 10 lyeryo balya bashaaja makumi gabiri na bana banayami múfukamira. Banamúyikumba, iri banalambika neꞌnjembe zaabo imbere lyage, ti:
11 «E Rurema, Nahamwitu, we kwaniini ukuhaabwa
ubulangashane, noꞌlushaagwa, noꞌbushobozi.
Mukuba, byoshi íbiri ho,
we kalooza kwo bibaagage ho, we kanabibumba.»
