Ko mulue omo mwanya waghe,*

Nangabughire ebinywa ebyangalighisya eribatsweba-tsweba

Kandi nangatsinga-tsingirye omutwe waghe busana nenyu.

 5 Nikwa, omo mwanya w’ekyo,

Niryendibahiramo akaghala omo binywa by’obuno bwaghe,

N’erikirania ry’eminywa yaghe, lyangabaletere eriluhuka.

 6 Namabibugha, amaghali waghe syangatulera,

Kandi namabileka eribugha, amaghali waghe angakeha oko lulengo lungahi?

 7 Nikwa lino oMungu abirinduhya;

Abiritoghotya abandu bosi b’enyumba yaghe.*

 8 Kandi wabirinihamba, n’ekyo kyabiribya bwimiri,

Neryo akabonde kaghe kakanilangirikako

N’eribya bwimiri embere sy’obusu bwaghe.

 9 Erihitana liwe ryabirinitulanga mo hihande-hihande,

Kandi abirinibikako ekinigha.

10 Abandu babirinitandira amuno wabo,

N’eriniha amakofi oko matema omo kaghonero;

Bakahindana haghuma busana n’erilwa naghe.

11 OMungu akanihira omo byala by’ehilwana hilere-hilere,

Kandi akanihira omo byala by’ababi.

12 Nabya ininatulere, aliwe abirinibunanga;

Mwanihambira engoto amanitundula-tundula;

Neryo mwaniyira mo ekyo akalengerera.

13 Abalasi biwe b’emisoha bananitimbireko;

Akatobongola esyombiko syaghe butsira bulighe;

Akuta endulu yaghe oko kitaka.

14 Niri ng’oluhimbo olo akabera eritobongolamo ebyuna;

Akanitibitako ng’embangyi.

15 Nabirisonera haghuma olukimba lw’esaki

Busana n’eriswika engobi yaghe,

Kandi nabirita olukengerwa* lwaghe l’omo lututu.

16 Obusu bwaghe bwabirihenduka rangi y’omusasi busana n’ekiriro,

N’oko syongohe syaghe kuli ekitsutsu* kinene,

17 Nomo ebyala byaghe sibyetakola omwatsi wosi-wosi w’omwagha

N’omusabe waghe ni mubuya.

19 Nikwa na lino, omwimiri waghe ali elubula;

Oyo wanganimira ali endata.

20 Abira baghe bakaniseka

Eriso lyaghe rikatogheraya oMungu y’emisonia.*

21 Omundu asohe omo kati-kati k’omundu n’oMungu

Ngoko omundu anganasoha omo kati-kati k’omundu na mulikyabo.

22 Kusangwa emyaka eyikasa ni mike,

Kandi ngendighenda omo nzira eyo nitendisyasyasubulamo.
