I think when I read that sweet story of old

1 NYOWE ku nshom' ebigambo bya Yesu Kristo, Obu yaataayaayir' abantu b'omu nsi, Nyijuka ku yaayaakiire gy' abaana bato; Naanye nkaayenzire mbe hamwe nabo. Kand' engaro ze ziguma nizinsiisirira, N'emikono y'embabaz' embumbatira, Ndeeb' amaisho ge ga rukundo naagir' ati: Mureky' abaana bato baij' ahi ndi. 2 Mbwenu n'obu ndaabe ntakikibaasa hati, Omu kushaba nimbaasa kumureeba; Ku ndaagume nimmusherura nkiri ah' omu nsi, Ndyamureeba, mmuhur're ndi omu iguru; Kandi omuri ogwo mwany' ogu yaatubonereize, Twen' abaasaasiirw' ahabw'eshagama ye, Turyashangay' abandi baana baingi nkaitwe; Ahakub' obukama bwe n'obwabo. 3 Kwonka hariho abaana bat' abaabuzire, Abatakahurirahoga bya Yesu, Nyowe nkaayenzire ku bamanya buzima, Boona ku bainey' omwanya murungi. Mbwenu hati ntegyereize n'ekihika kingi Okuhik' ahari eryo izooba rirungi, Obu ab'omu nganda zoona bariteerana, Akabaakiir', akabah' omugisha.
