3 Mwana wange teweerabiranga bye nkuyigiriza,*

Era omutima gwo gukwatenga ebiragiro byange,

 2 Olyoke owangaale emyaka mingi,

Era obe n’emirembe.+

Bisibe mu bulago bwo;

Biwandiike ku mutima gwo;+

 4 Olwo lw’ojja okusiimibwa era omanyibwe ng’omuntu omutegeevu

Mu maaso ga Katonda n’abantu.+

 5 Weesigenga Yakuwa+ n’omutima gwo gwonna,

Era teweesigamanga ku kutegeera kwo.+

 6 Mulowoozengako mu byonna by’okola,+

Anaatereezanga amakubo go.+

 8 Ekyo kijja kuwonya omubiri gwo*

Era kijja kuweweeza amagumba go.

 9 Ossangamu Yakuwa ekitiibwa n’omuwa ku bintu byo eby’omuwendo,+

N’ebibala ebibereberye* eby’amakungula go gonna;+

10 Olwo amaterekero go lwe ganajjula,+

Era n’amatogero* go lwe ganajjula ne gabooga omwenge omusu.

11 Mwana wange, togaananga kukangavvula kwa Yakuwa,+

Era teweetamwanga by’akugamba ng’akunenya,+

12 Kubanga abo Yakuwa b’ayagala abanenya,+

Nga taata bw’anenya omwana amusanyusa.+

13 Alina essanyu oyo afuna amagezi,+

N’oyo afuna okutegeera;

14 Okufuna amagezi kisinga okufuna ffeeza,

Okuba nago kisinga okuba ne zzaabu.+

15 Ga muwendo okusinga amayinja ag’omuwendo ag’omu nnyanja;*

Tewali kintu ky’oyinza kwegomba ekiyinza okugenkana.

16 Mu mukono gwago ogwa ddyo mulimu okuwangaala;

Ne mu mukono gwago ogwa kkono mulimu obugagga n’ekitiibwa.

17 Amakubo gaago malungi,

Era empenda zaago zonna za mirembe.+

18 Amagezi muti gwa bulamu eri abo abagafuna,

Era abo abaganywererako bajja kuyitibwa basanyufu.+

20 Olw’okumanya kw’alina yayawulamu amazzi,

Era ebire byatonnya enkuba.+

Amagezi n’obusobozi bw’okulowooza obulungi tobiganyanga kukuvaako;

22 Bijja kukuwa obulamu

Era bijja kuba ng’omukuufu omulungi mu bulago bwo;

23 Olwo ojja kutambulira mu kkubo lyo mirembe,

Era ekigere kyo tekiryesittala ku kintu kyonna.*+

24 Bw’oneebakanga tootyenga;+

Oneebakanga, otulo two ne tukuwoomera.+

25 Tolitya kintu kyonna eky’entiisa ekigwawo obugwi,+

Wadde embuyaga erijjira ababi.+

26 Kubanga obwesige bwo bujja kuba mu Yakuwa;+

Ajja kukuuma ekigere kyo kireme kugwa mu mutego.+

27 Tommanga kirungi abo b’ogwanidde okukiwa,+

Bw’oba ng’osobola* okubayamba.+

29 Tokolanga lukwe okutuusa akabi ku munno+

Ng’ate akwesiga.

30 Toyombanga na muntu awatali nsonga,+

Nga talina kibi ky’akukoze.+

31 Omuntu akola eby’obukambwe tomukwatirwanga nsaalwa,+

Era tokolanga ebyo by’akola,

32 Kubanga Yakuwa akyayira ddala omuntu omukuusa,+

Naye abagolokofu abafuula mikwano gye egy’oku lusegere.+

33 Ekikolimo kya Yakuwa kiba ku nnyumba y’omubi,+

Naye amaka g’abatuukirivu agawa omukisa.+

34 Asekerera abo abakudaala,+

Naye asiima abawombeefu.+

35 Ab’amagezi bajja kufuna ekitiibwa,

Naye abasirusiru beenyumiririza mu ebyo ebimalamu ekitiibwa.+
