1 Hali ebinwa by’obukali birhalusire, hali n’okuhulika kuyêrekana omuntu w’obukengêre. 2 Okukaliha kwo kukulu aha kubîka obukunizi. 3 Omuntu ocîshobeka yêne erhi buhane afumire. 4 Kw’ali nk’enshahu yashimba okugwârha omunyere, omuntu wacîhambira okutwa olubanja n’akadali. 5 Lebè acîhulikire, abonekana murhimanya, oku lebè w’engamîzi acîshombanya n’omuvovo gwâge. 6 Lebè ahulisire kubula eci aderha, na lebè ahulisire kulinda agâge mango g’okuderha. 7 Omurhimanya mango agera g’okuhulika, ci kadegende n’omusirhe barhishigera mango. 8 Kadesi acîshombanya, n’omanya mpu yêne oyishiderha, nshombo acîzûkiza.

9 Lebè ânacirira omu buhanya; hali oyu obuhanya buciza, haligi n’amango obucire bulêrha nyamanjà. 10 Hali okuhâna kurhayunguka, haligi n’okuhâna kuyunguka kabiri, 11 Hali amango irenge lirhohya omuntu, haligi n’abantu balengerera omu buligo bwâbo. 12 Hali ogula birugu binji n’ensaranga nsungunu, n’obwo bamukanzire kali nda kulusha. 13 Omurhimanya anasîmirwe ebinwa byâge, n’okuhâna kw’omuhwinja kuhere busha. 14 Ebi omusirhe ahâna birhaciza, bulya abikonolîre amasù mpu omugalulire kali kangana halya. 15 Oku arhahanyiri bici, abulihûna kulusha, anahâne nk’owahamagaza, ene akuhoze, irhondo ayishikulyûza: aba wa kukobwa. 16 Omusirhe anaderhe, erhi: «Ntajira mwîra, mbona mpâna ci ntabona cavuga omunkwa, 17 abalya ebyâni bajira akalimi kabî». Owa bene oyo barhahwa barhamushekera.

18 Okusârhala n’amagulu kwo kukulu aha kusârhala n’olulimi; isârhala lya bene eryo lirhahumba mubî. 19 Omuhwinja kw’ali nka lulibi, ebinganyi bilujire lwimbo. 20 Ecihwinja cirhatwa mugani gwâkungwa, cihabe amango abandi bagutwa. 21 Hali oyu obukenyi bubêra mpenzi ya kurhanga ecâha, amango g’okurhamûka, omurhima gurhamulya. 22 Hali ocîheza erhi nshonyi zirhuma, acîheze mpu akenga omusirhe. 23 Hali olaganyiza omwîra wâge omu bwôba, hayishizûka enshombo y’obumâma.

24 Okunywerha kubà kucîshûbula bwenêne, kurhahwa ekanwa k’ebinganyi. 25 Ecishambo co cikulu aha munywesi mukulu, cikwône bombi kuhera banahera. 26 Enkômedu y’okunywerha bubà buhanya, n’omunywesi nshonyi zirhahwa zirhamubumbiri.

27 Omurhimanya acîkengêsa n’ebinwa byâge, n’omuntu mwenge ye abakulu basîma. 28 Omuhinzi kusârûla asârûla, n’osîmwa n’abakulu, anatumule anabuli babalirwa. 29 Okushegulwa n’okurhûlwa binarhume abagula bahûrha amasù, kubè kubashwêka akanwa mpu bakanaderha. 30 Oburhimanya bufulike n’obuhirhi bubishe, bunguke buci bijira? 31 Omuntu wafulika isirhe lyâge, ye mukulu oku wafulika oburhimanya bwâge.
