Muyumve, mwe badâhwa yumvirhizi wâni nyumpa y’Israheli, nyumpa ya mwâmi rhega okurhwiri, mwe balanzi b’amarhegeko; bulya mwabîre murhego aha Mispa, kêshe karhege oku Tabora. 
Bàyongobîre omu kuhabuka, niehe, nkolaga nabahana boshi. 
Nyîshi Efrayimu, na Israheli arhacinyifulisiri, nêci, Efrayimu wabîre mbaraga, nâwe Israheli wahemusire. 
Ebijiro byâbo birhankacibayêmêrera bagaluka emwa Nyamuzinda wâbo, bulya omurhima gw’obubaraga gubasêzize, barhaciyishi Nyamuzinda. 
Obucîbone bw’Israheli bumudwîrhe lubanja; amabî g’Efrayimu gamukulumbize na Yûda naye âhirima akàbo. 
Bahêka ebibuzi n’empanzi zâbo mpu bajilonza Nyamuzinda ci ba­rhâmubone: àbarhenzirekwo! 
Bàlenganyize Nyakasane, bàburha abâna b’omu ifunze. Olekage ensiku nkulu zâbo zibaherêrekeze bon’amashwa gâbo. 
Mubûhe omushekera e Gilbeya, muhume omu ihembe e Rama, mubande endûlù e Bet-Avena, muhuluze Benyamini. 
Efrayimu ayônwa olusiku lw’obuhane, namâderha okunali oku mashanja g’Israheli. 
Abarhambo ba Yûda kwo bali nka bantu bahama olubibi, nkolaga nâbarhulirakwo obukunizi bwâni nka mîshi. 
Efrayimu ali mulabarhe, aluyazire, bulya akulikîre abazimu. 
Kwo nkola nayôrha kuli Efrayimu nka nnindi na nka mpêshe oku nyumpa ya Yûda. 
Efrayimu erhi abona obubî bwâge, n’Israheli erhi abona ecibande câge, Efrayimu ajiyinjibana Asûru, Yûda arhuma, entumwa emw’omwâmi mukulu, ci kwône arhamufumye mweshi, arharhenze ecibande cinyu. 
Bulya nâbà ntale kuli Efrayimu, mwâna wa ntale oku nyumpa ya Yûda, niono, kudârhula nadârhula, nnancîgendere, mpêke n’omunyama gwâni, na ntâye wagunyaga. 
Nêci, nkolaga nâcishubirira aha mwâni, kuhika bamanye oku bali babî, banalonze obusù bwâni; bâcinnonza omu bulagîrire bwâbo.
