1 Aya ni amagambo umuhanuzi Habakuki* yabwiwe binyuze ku iyerekwa:
2 Yehova we, nzageza ryari ngutakira utanyumva?+
Ko ngutakira ngo unkize urugomo ntunkize, nzagutakira ngeze ryari?+
3 Kuki utuma mbona ibibi,
Kandi ugakomeza kwihanganira abantu bakandamiza abandi?
Kuki wemera ko abantu bagira urugomo kandi bagatwara iby’abandi?
None se, kuki wemera ko intonganya n’amakimbirane bikomeza kubaho?
4 Nta muntu ukigendera ku mategeko,
Kandi ubutabera ntibugikurikizwa.
Dore umuntu mubi akandamiza umukiranutsi!
Ni yo mpamvu ubutabera butakibaho.+
5 “Nimurebe mu bindi bihugu, mwitegereze ibiri kuba.
Nimutangare kandi mwumirwe,
Kuko hari ikintu kigiye kuzaba mu gihe cyanyu.
Ni igikorwa mudashobora kwemera, nubwo hagira ukibabwira.+
Ni abantu barakaye cyane kandi batagira impuhwe.
Bazagera ahantu hanini ku isi,
Bigarurire ahantu hatari ahabo.+
7 Ni abantu bateye ubwoba kandi batinyitse.
Ni bo bishyiriyeho amategeko bagenderaho kandi bumva ko nta wubarusha imbaraga.*+
8 Amafarashi yabo ariruka cyane kurusha ingwe.
Arakaze kurusha ibirura bya nijoro.+
Amafarashi yabo y’intambara agenda adakoza amaguru hasi,
Kandi aje aturutse kure,
9 Abo bantu bose bazanywe no gukora ibikorwa by’urugomo.+
Bagenda bahanze amaso imbere nk’umuyaga w’iburasirazuba,+
Bagahuriza hamwe abantu bangana n’umusenyi wo ku nyanja, bakababoha.
Basuzugura imijyi ifite inkuta zikomeye,+
Bakayirundaho ibirundo by’ibitaka kugira ngo bayigarurire.
11 Bazaba bagenda nk’umuyaga, banyure mu gihugu.
Ariko bazaba bakwiriye guhanwa bitewe n’ibibi bakora,+
12 Yehova, ese ntiwahozeho kuva kera cyane?+
Ni wowe Mana yanjye. Uri Uwera kandi ntushobora gupfa.*+
Yehova, abo bantu wabashyizeho kugira ngo bahane abakoze nabi.
Gitare cyanjye,+ wabashyizeho kugira ngo baduhane.+
13 Uratunganye cyane ku buryo utakomeza kureba ibibi,
Kandi ntushobora gukomeza kwihanganira ubugizi bwa nabi.+
None se kuki ukomeza kwihanganira abakora iby’uburiganya,+
Ugakomeza kwicecekera igihe umuntu mubi agirira nabi umurusha gukiranuka?+
14 Kuki umuntu umugira nk’amafi yo mu nyanja,
Ukamugira nk’ibikururuka bidafite umuyobozi?
Babateranyiriza hamwe nk’amafi ari mu rushundura.
Ibyo bituma bishima bakanezerwa.+
16 Ni yo mpamvu batambira ibitambo inshundura zabo,
Bagatwikira imibavu inshundura barobesha.
Ibyo ni byo bituma babona ibyokurya byuzuye amavuta,
Kandi bakabona ibyokurya bishimira.
17 Ese bazakomeza gufatira abantu mu nshundura zabo?*
None se bazakomeza kwica abantu bo mu bihugu bitandukanye nta mpuhwe bafite?+
