11 Yakuwa akyayira ddala minzaani ezitali ntuufu,*

Naye ekipimo ekituufu kimusanyusa.*+

 2 Okwetulinkiriza kuvaamu okuswala,+

Naye abeetoowaze baba ba magezi.+

 3 Obugolokofu bw’abatuukirivu bwe bubaluŋŋamya,+

Naye obutali bwesigwa bw’ab’enkwe bujja kubaviirako okuzikirira.+

 4 Obugagga tebujja* kuba na mugaso ku lunaku olw’obusungu,+

Naye obutuukirivu bwe bujja okuwonya omuntu okufa.+

 5 Obutuukirivu bw’omuntu ataliiko kya kunenyezebwa butereeza ekkubo lye,

Naye omubi ajja kugwa olw’ebintu ebibi by’akola.+

Naye ab’enkwe okwegomba kwabwe kujja kubakwasa.+

N’amaanyi agabadde gamweyinuza gaggwaawo.+

 8 Omutuukirivu bamuwonya ennaku,

Ennaku n’eddira omubi.+

 9 Kyewaggula* azikiriza munne ng’akozesa akamwa ke,

Naye abatuukirivu okumanya kubawonya.+

10 Empisa ennungi ez’abatuukirivu zisanyusa ekibuga,

Naye omubi bw’afa, abantu bajaguza.+

11 Ekibuga kigulumizibwa olw’omukisa gw’abatuukirivu,+

Naye akamwa k’ababi kakimenyaamenya.+

12 Buli atalina magezi anyooma munne,

Naye omuntu omutegeevu asirika.+

13 Awaayiriza abalala agenda ayasanguza ebyama,+

Naye omwesigwa* akuuma ebyama.*

14 Awatali bulagirizi bulungi* abantu babonaabona,

Naye awali abawi b’amagezi* abangi ebintu bitambula bulungi.*+

15 Eyeeyimirira omuntu gw’atamanyi agwa mu mitawaana,+

Naye oyo atayanguyiriza kukola ndagaano* yeewala ebizibu.

16 Omukazi ow’ekisa* yeefunira ekitiibwa,+

Naye abasajja abakambwe banyaga eby’obugagga.

17 Omuntu bw’abeera ow’ekisa* kimuganyula,+

Naye omuntu omukambwe yeereetera emitawaana.*+

18 Omuntu omubi afuna empeera eterina ky’egasa,+

Naye oyo asiga obutuukirivu afuna empeera eya nnamaddala.+

19 Anywerera ku butuukirivu aliba mulamu,+

Naye oyo akola ebibi ajja kufa.

20 Yakuwa akyawa ab’omutima omukyamu,+

Naye abo abataliiko kya kunenyezebwa bamusanyusa.+

21 Ba mukakafu ku kino:* Omubi talirema kubonerezebwa,+

Naye abaana b’omutuukirivu tebalituukibwako kabi.

22 Omukazi alabika obulungi naye nga talina magezi

Alinga empeta eya zzaabu eri mu nnyindo y’embizzi.

23 Omutuukirivu bye yeegomba bimutuusa ku birungi,+

Naye omubi by’asuubira bisunguwaza Katonda.

24 Omuntu omugabi* afuna bingi;+

Naye omukodo ayavuwala.+

25 Omugabi ajja kugaggawala,*+

Na buli azzaamu abalala amaanyi* ajja kuzzibwamu amaanyi.+

26 Oyo atatunda mmere ye ey’empeke abantu bamukolimira,

Naye oyo agitunda abantu bamusabira emikisa.

27 Oyo afuba okukola ebirungi aba ayagala okusiimibwa,+

Naye oyo ayagala okukola ebibi, ebibi birimutuukako.+

28 Eyeesiga obugagga bwe ajja kugwa,+

Naye abatuukirivu bajja kutinta ng’ebikoola by’emiti.+

29 Oyo aleetera ab’omu maka ge emitawaana* ajja kusikira mpewo,+

Era omusirusiru ajja kuba muweereza w’oyo alina omutima ogw’amagezi.

30 Ebibala by’omutuukirivu muti gwa bulamu,+

Era oyo akubiriza abalala okukola ebirungi aba wa magezi.+

31 Bwe kiba nti abatuukirivu abali ku nsi baweebwa empeera ebagwanira,

Kati olwo ababi n’aboonoonyi nabo tebaliweebwa mpeera ebagwanira?+
