UMUVUGO VI
Urugendo rw’iyo Ngurube, kuva i Kabgayi kugera i Kigali; itesha Abatware imirimo bagenda bayihatsweho.
Inyumba iryohera n’amaso
Amerwe akica aho itabazwe
Ndavuga izongesha abarebyi!
Ngiyo intamati ihaka Abatware,
495 Iya rwikundwaho n’abasilimu.
Iyo basamarira bayirabutswe,
Iya rwikanyiza abo Batutsi,
Umunsi ihinguka i Kabgayi
Abo mu Marangara ikabakaza ipfa,
500 Yarahatinze cyane Haguma,
Akabya guhanga iyo nzovu amaso,
Aritegereza aratangara,
Intege zitaha arazihebura;
Atumiza igare ryo kujya i Nyanza,
505 Kwaka uruhushya rw’i Nyarugenge.
Bati: “Urarwakira ubusa cyane,
Kuko Isabukuru yegereje, (14)
Mukaba mwarabihagariwe;
Ube uhengeranije icyumweru!”
510 Ati: “Narushakiraga indi mpamvu,
Ngo mputere amasiga muyaga
Nyifatire ahagana ku Ruyenzi (15)
Tujyanirane nyizihirije!”
Bati: “Ese ni iki uvuga Mutware?”
515 Ati: “Munyinjira iki muyizi,
Ko ari yo ndondogoza-barebyi!”
Na we Atanazi ari we Kanimba, (16)
Apfa ayo kuyibona ibungabunga;
Iby’urwo ruhusa biramurenga!
520 Icyo yiringiye kirasohora:
Ingurube ihingutse i Nyarugenge,
Izembagira Abakuru mu maso,
Habura uwibuka kumutota!
Uwitwa Mfizi ari we Alfonsi, (17)
525 Yari yagiye migezo nk’ukwo,
Ubutoni bw’iryo tungo rinini,
Burangaza bene ubwite
Isaruti abahaye iba iy’ubusa:
Kuza imbura-gihe kwe n’imirimo,
530 Abyizigura nta hazabu!
Umwete w’abakuru waragiye
Uhugira ku ngurube rubunga:
Ifata mu maso barahumiriza!
Naho ubwo Semugeshi i Bufundu (18)
535 Asanga Rwitsibagura mwumva, (19)
Afatiye Birasa ahagana i Nyanza (20)
Bari ku kirari cy’iyo ngurube,
Bamwingingira kubajyana.
540 Uwo mu Bufundu akaba anywa itabi
Ariyumvira bimara umwanya;
Ubwo aribwira ati: “Ntibagerayo
Turayisangira barye byinshi,
Mbe nitubirije umugabane!”
545 Ashyiraho akenge arabahakanira,
Ati: “Ibyo biranyereka ko mwembi,
Iby’iyi modoka mukibibarirwa!
Uko muyiruzi iyi iragatsindwa:
Igira amanyembwa aruhije ubwenge!
550 Yumva abantu bayinjiyemo,
Abatari jyewe ikabahishura!
Ikanywa lisansi vuba na bwangu
Igasara nk’iyasinze, igahwera!
Nkazagomba kugura inshinge,
555 Nkaziyitera igahembuka!
Kuyibashyiramo byaba rwana,
Si ibigeragezwa ku rugendo!
Yadupfana aho tuvugiye aha,
Ikadutamaza bikadushobera!
560 Icyakora mwantuma guteguza,
Ndetse mukandika nk’ibaruwa
Ivuga ko mwaba mutahasohoye,
Ingurube ikicwa mukiri mu nzira
Nahabwa igaburo ryanyu
565 Ngapfa kugerekeranya ku ryanjye
Ngo ndore iherezo ukwo byagenda,
Umuntu w’imfura abyihase
Agashira inyota y’iryo tungo
Bita “Indyohesha-birayi!”
