Ariko we ahitamo gupfana ishema aho kubaho mu kimwaro, yijyana ku bwende bwe aho yagombaga gukubitirwa, abanje gucira ibyo bari bamutamitse, mbese abigenza ak’intwari zose zemera guhara amagara yazo, aho kurya ibyo biribwa bitemewe n’amategeko.

Nabigenza atyo araba arokotse urupfu, bamugirire neza, abikesheje ubucuti bari bafitanye kuva kera. Ariko Eleyazari afata icyemezo cya kigabo, gikwiranye koko n’igihe yari agezemo, n’ubukambwe bwe, n’imvi zaziye mu muruho, kiberanye kandi n’imigenzereze iboneye yari afitiye Amategeko y’Imana.

Uhoraho, mbega ngo abandwanya baraba benshi!
Ni benshi bampagurukiye,
ni benshi bamvugiraho
ngo «Nta gakiza ateze ku Mana!»
Nyamara wowe, Uhoraho, uri ingabo inkingira;
ni wowe shema ryanjye,
ni wowe nkesha kwegura umutwe.
Ndangurura ijwi ngatabaza Uhoraho,
maze akansubiriza ku musozi we mutagatifu.
Ndaryama ngasinzira, nageraho ngakanguka:
igihe cyose Uhoraho ni we unshyigikiye.
Sintinya icyo gitero cy’abantu
bangose impande zose.
