Ogendereranga nnyo ebiba biteekeddwa mu maaso go;

Era toyingiriranga kibanja ky’abaana abatalina bakitaabwe.

11 Kubanga Omununuzi waabwe wa maanyi;

Ajja kubalwanirira.+

12 Ssaayo omwoyo ku ebyo ebikuyigirizibwa

Era wuliriza ebigambo eby’amagezi.

Emimwa gyo bwe ginaayogeranga ebituufu.

17 Omutima gwo ka guleme okukwatirwanga aboonoonyi ensaalwa,+

Naye tyanga Yakuwa olunaku lwonna,+

18 Ebiseera byo eby’omu maaso biryoke bibe birungi+

Era n’eby’osuubira bireme kugwa butaka.

19 Mwana wange, wuliriza ofuuke wa magezi,

Omutima gwo guluŋŋamizibwe mu kkubo ettuufu.

20 Tobanga mu abo abeekatankira omwenge,+

Wadde mu abo abavaabira ennyama,+

21 Kubanga omutamiivu n’omuluvu baavuwala,+

Era okwebakiriza kwambaza omuntu enziina.

22 Wuliranga kitaawo eyakuzaala,

Era tonyoomanga nnyoko olw’okuba akaddiye.+

23 Gula* amazima,+ n’amagezi, n’okuyigirizibwa, awamu n’okutegeera,+

Era tobitundanga.

24 Kitaawe w’omutuukirivu anaabanga musanyufu,

Era buli azaala omwana ow’amagezi anaamwenyumiririzangamu.

25 Kitaawo ne nnyoko bajja kusanyuka,

Era omukazi eyakuzaala ajja kujaganya.

26 Mwana wange, mpa omutima gwo,

Era amaaso go ka gasanyukirenga amakubo gange.+

27 Kubanga omukazi malaaya kinnya kiwanvu,

N’omukazi omugwenyufu* luzzi lufunda.+

28 Ateega ng’omunyazi,+

Era ayongera ku muwendo gw’abasajja abatali beesigwa.

30 Abo abalwa ku mwenge;+

Abo abanoonya omwenge* omuka.

31 Totunuulira bumyufu bwa mwenge

Nga gutangalijja mu kikopo era nga gukka bulungi mu mumiro,

32 Kubanga oluvannyuma gubojja ng’omusota,

Era guvaamu obusagwa ng’obw’omusota.

33 Amaaso go gajja kulaba ebintu ebitategeerekeka,

N’omutima gwo gujja kwogera ebitasaana.+

34 Era ojja kuba ng’omuntu agalamidde wakati mu nnyanja,

Oba ng’omuntu agalamidde waggulu ku mulongooti gw’ekyombo.
