Oku ndwîrhe nti nafumya Israheli, amabî ga Efrayimu, gamaciyêrekana, n’obwengûza bwa Samâriya; bunywesi bwône bwône, ebishambo bidwîrhe byabera enyumpa, n’embuga elumîre bishungu. 
Barhacidesiri omu murhima gwâbo oku ncikengîre obubî bwâbo. Ci kwône ebijiro byâbo bibagosire, biri embere zâni. 
Bwenge bwâbo bashagalusamwo mwâmi, na bulyâlya bwâbo bashagalusamwo abarhambo. 
Ci kwône boshi bali bagonyi. Bali badûrhu nka masiga g’omuduzi w’emi­gati wagatwanîrc anagaleka kurhenga aduzire obuntu kuhika bwalinda burhundugurha. 
Badûndaguzize mwâmi n’abarhambo omu mamvu, naye yêne ayinjibana emihera, 
omu bulyâlya bwâbo, omurhima gwâbo guli mudûrhu nka cîko, obudufu bwoshi erhi obukunizi bwâbo buli îrò, sêzi buyâke nka ngulumira. 
Boshi badûrhubîre nka cibêye, balyîre babishi abatwî b’emmanja bâbo. Ntyo, abâmi bâbo boshi bahwîre, ntâye wanyakûzize. 
Efrayimu akomerîne n’amashanja g’ihanga, Efrayimu buli buntu bu­rhaniolagwa. 
Abanya-mahanga bàmulîre emisî arhanîshi. Irhwe lyâge lyasheshusire mvi, arhanakuyishi. 
Obucîbone bw’Israheli bumudwîrhe lubanja; barhanagalusiri emunda Nyakasane Nyamuzinda wâbo ali, ciru bakamulongereza kwo kunyi mw’ebyo byoshi. 
Efrayimu ngûkù mpwinja, erhagwêrhi irhwe; bahamagîre Mîsiri, bàjîre omu Asûru. 
Bagende, aha bankaja nâbarhega akêshe kâni, nâbamanula nka kanyunyi k’emalunga, nâbahana oku mabî gâbo. 
Buhanya bwâbo bulya bànyâsire. Bahungumuke bulya banyabîre. Oku ndi nti nabacungula, badwîrhe bannywerhera. 
Barhalaka n’omurhima gwoshi emunda ndi, amango bayâmira aha ba­gweshîre; balakira engano n’amamvu mahyâhya gône, ci kuli nie, bwabiranyi bwône. 
Nabayigîrîze nanabahà amaboko mazibu, ci enkengêro zâbo nshombo kuli nie. 
Bashizire obusha bayôsire nka muherho murhebanyi. Abarhambo bâbo bahwêra oku ngôrho, erhi lulimi lwâbo lubî lurhuma, babashekera omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri.
