24 Tokwatirwanga abantu ababi obuggya,

Era teweegombanga kubeera nabo,+

 2 Kubanga emitima gyabwe girowooza ku bikolwa bya bukambwe,

N’emimwa gyabwe gibeera gyogera ku kukola bintu bya mutawaana.

 3 Amagezi ge gazimba ennyumba,+

Era okutegeera kwe kuginyweza.

 4 Olw’okumanya, ebisenge byayo bijjula

Eby’obugagga ebya buli ngeri eby’omuwendo era ebisanyusa.+

 5 Omuntu ow’amagezi aba wa maanyi,+

Era olw’okumanya, omuntu yeeyongera okuba n’obuyinza.

 6 Okusobola okulwana olutalo kyetaagisa obulagirizi obulungi,*+

Era bwe wabaawo abawi b’amagezi* abangi wabaawo obuwanguzi.*+

 7 Eri omusirusiru amagezi* tegasobola kufunika;+

Era taba na kya kwogera ku mulyango gw’ekibuga.

 8 Ateekateeka okukola ebintu eby’akabi

Ajja kuyitibwa kalinkwe.+

 9 Enteekateeka ez’ekisirusiru* ziba mbi,

Era abantu tebaagalira ddala muntu mukudaazi.+

10 Bw’oterebuka mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku,*

Amaanyi go gajja kuba matono.

11 Nunula abo abatwalibwa okuttibwa,

Era wonya abo abagenda okusanjagibwa.+

12 Bw’ogamba nti, “Naye ekyo tetwakimanyaako,”

Oyo akebera emitima* takitegeera?+

Mazima ddala, oyo akulaba ajja kukitegeera

Era ajja kusasula buli muntu okusinziira ku bikolwa bye.+

13 Mwana wange, lyanga omubisi gw’enjuki kubanga mulungi;

Omubisi oguva mu bisenge by’omubisi gw’enjuki guwoomerera.

Bw’ogafuna, ebiseera byo eby’omu maaso bijja kuba birungi

Era n’essuubi lyo teririggwaawo.+

15 Toba ng’omuntu omubi n’oteega okumenya ennyumba y’omutuukirivu;

Tosaanyaawo kifo ky’abeeramu.

16 Omutuukirivu ayinza okugwa emirundi musanvu, naye addamu n’ayimuka,+

Naye omubi yeesittala ng’afunye ekizibu.+

17 Omulabe wo bw’agwa, tosanyukanga,

Era bwe yeesittala, omutima gwo tegujaganyanga;+

18 Kubanga Yakuwa bw’akulaba ng’okola bw’otyo, anyiiga,

N’alekera awo okumusunguwalira.*+

19 Tokwatibwanga busungu olw’abantu abakola ebibi;

Abantu ababi tobakwatirwanga buggya,

20 Kubanga ababi tebalina biseera bya mu maaso;+

Ettaala y’ababi ejja kuzikizibwa.+

21 Mwana wange, otyanga Yakuwa ne kabaka.+

Era tokolagananga na bawakanyi,*+

22 Kubanga emitawaana giribagwako mbagirawo.+

Ani amanyi akabi abo bombi* ke balituusa ku bawakanyi?+

25 Naye abo abamunenya bijja kubagendera bulungi;+

Era bajja kufuna ebintu ebirungi.+

27 Teekateeka emirimu gyo egy’ebweru, era otereeze bulungi ennimiro yo,

Oluvannyuma ozimbe ennyumba yo.

29 Togambanga nti: “Ky’ankoze nange nja kukimukola;

Nja kumusasula ekyo kye yakola.”+

30 Nnayita ku nnimiro y’omugayaavu,+

Ku nnimiro y’emizabbibu ey’omuntu atalina magezi.

31 Nnalaba nga yonna ezise,

Ng’ejjudde amaggwa,

Nga n’ekikomera kyayo eky’amayinja kigudde.+

32 Nnagyetegereza ne nfumiitiriza nnyo;

Nnagitunuulira ne njiga essomo lino:

33 Bwe weebakamu katono, bw’osumagiramu katono,

Era bw’ozinga emikono owummuleko,

34 Obwavu bujja kukuzinda ng’omuzigu,

N’obwetaavu bukuzinde ng’omusajja akutte eby’okulwanyisa.+
