Saying #21

- Ku numuravi-

Umwana wumukana yakwivul'la hango. Na mameve siyazia rukari mba. Numanye mumba mwene mura vakana sivazizaa rukari vava. Kogotwa iki chagwa. Na wayivuu uyu, nigavendi? Ku numuravi.

Rwa vasanji vashira yo vukwi, viduyira kugatavorekaa. Mukana yavirukira wanga nyia. Na nyiuyu si yari yazia havundu mba. Yago namangu. Madinyu ni goo, Musaza aveeyo, wu mukana aranga baba. Musaza yaretwa! Ekesegese chumukari. Kuvisa chahonyo, vamaa vahana vuza zing'ombe. Na gavorekaa kari guku Mukana yari yidikiriza musaza hango hene yaho. Ku numuravi.

Mwana yasura kwitul'la. Kisusu chene. Numbol'la yenya kokohenza mmoni. Mmuduraa vuza. Nuvuyanzi vwivwe mba. Kwariho rwa nyia yavirukaa. Vwaha yari ambol'le? Yaraa kivambara, vosi vavitiriku. Yamanya nakuza. Uyu natahenza, natahenza, murakaze m'mbol'le. Ku numuravi.

Akubaa musaza? Yago namageni kukunyi. Ma vwaha namunyare niva yatama musazeve? Rwa yari nakiraa mukana vaza yaha na nyia, varaa vakubagaji isi, babeve. Mwanoyo gavorekaa niye yatizira isi rwa nyina yari namugumii. Vasangirira nivamusaririza. Na rwa karunu vakiri kutura vazie koteva isi zimbavasi. Vavee kuziandahi mba. Ku numuravi.

Mwana yareta mukari hango, wo! kinia muriru! Adoraaza adora kari navizara. Yatihiza vaharikwa vahararira iruguru. Nakutanji akumaraamba. Wenuyu kogotwa arikamunyare. Yenyaa yononyie hango ha Magomere. Koreta nuvurahi navuzwa koreta vakari Nareve ni kuri koreta matava hango. Vanareve ni vakari vava! Ku numuravi.
