3Okukola ekibi bwe kujja n’okunyooma kujjirako,
era awali okuyisaamu omuntu amaaso wabaawo okunyoomoola.

4Ebigambo by’omu kamwa k’omuntu mazzi ga buziba,
naye ensulo ey’amagezi mugga ogukulukuta.

5 ^bSi kirungi kuttira mubi ku liiso,
oba okusaliriza omutuukirivu.

6Akamwa k’omusirusiru kamuleetera entalo
era akamwa ke kamuleetera okukubwa emiggo.

7 ^cAkamwa k’omusirusiru ke kamuleetera okuzikirira,
era n’emimwa gye mutego eri emmeeme ye.

8 ^dEbigambo by’omuntu ageya biri ng’emmere ewoomerera,
bigenda mu bitundu by’omubiri eby’ewala.

9 ^eOmuntu omugayaavu mu mirimu gy’akola,

10 ^fErinnya lya Mukama kigo ky’amaanyi,

11 ^gObugagga bw’omugagga, kye kibuga kye ekiriko bbugwe ow’amaanyi,
era mu kulaba kwe, kigo kye ekigumu ekitarinnyika.

12 ^hOmuntu nga tannagwa, omutima gwe gwegulumiza, naye okwetoowaza kumuweesa ekitiibwa.

13 ⁱOyo addamu amangu mu nsonga gy’ateetegerezza,
buba busirusiru bwe era buswavu.

14 ^jOmwoyo gw’omuntu gumuwanirira mu bulwadde,
naye emmeeme eyennyise ani ayinza okugigumiikiriza?

15 ^kOmutima gw’omwegendereza guyiga okumanya,
amatu g’omuntu omugezi gawuliriza.

16 ^lEkirabo ky’omuntu kimuseguliza,
era kimutuusa ne mu maaso g’abeekitiibwa.

17Asooka okweyogerako y’afaanana ng’omutuufu,
okutuusa omulala lw’amubuuza ebibuuzo.

18 ^mOkukuba akalulu kimalawo empaka,
era kisalawo eggoye wakati w’abawakana ab’amaanyi.

19Kyangu okuwamba ekibuga ekiriko bbugwe ow’amaanyi, okusinga okukomyawo owooluganda anyiize,
era ennyombo ziba ng’empagi z’ekigo.

20 ⁿOmuntu anakkutanga ebigambo ebiva mu kamwa ke;
ebibala ebijjula akamwa ke bye binamukkusanga.

21 ^oOlulimi lulina obuyinza okuwa obulamu oba okutta,
era n’abo abalwagala balirya ebibala byalwo.

22 ^pAzuula omukazi omulungi ow’okuwasa aba azudde ekirungi,
era aganja eri Mukama.

23Omwavu yeegayirira,
naye omugagga addamu na bbogo.

24 ^qAkwana emikwano emingi yeereetera okuzikirira,
naye wabaawo ow’omukwano akwagala ennyo okusinga owooluganda.
