Empeera y’Okunoonya Amagezi

1Mwana wange, bw’onookwatanga ebigambo byange,
n’otereka ebiragiro byange mu bulamu bwo,
2 ^aera n’ossaayo omwoyo eri amagezi,
era n’ossa omutima gwo eri okutegeera,
3ddala ddala singa oyaayaanira okumanya
era n’oyimusa eddoboozi lyo osabe okutegeera,
4 ^bbw’onooganoonyanga nga ffeeza,
era n’oganoonyanga ng’ekyobugagga ekyakwekebwa,
5 ^cawo w’olitegeerera okutya Mukama,
era n’ovumbula okumanya Katonda.
6 ^dKubanga Mukama awa amagezi;
era mu kamwa ke muvaamu okumanya n’okutegeera.
7 ^e Mukama aterekera abatuukirivu amagezi amalungi,
era aba ngabo y’abo abatambulira mu bugolokofu.
8 ^fAbatambuliza mu makubo ag’obwenkanya,
era bw’atyo Mukama akuuma ekkubo ly’abatukuvu be.

9Olwo lw’olitegeera obutuukirivu, amazima n’obwenkanya;
weewaawo buli kkubo eddungi.
10 ^gKubanga amagezi galiyingira mu mutima gwo,
n’okumanya kulisanyusa omwoyo gwo.
11 ^hOkwesalirawo obulungi kunaakulabiriranga
n’okutegeera kunaakukuumanga:

12Amagezi ganaakuwonyanga ekkubo ly’omubi,
n’abantu aboogera eby’obugwagwa,
13 ⁱabaleka amakubo ag’obutuukirivu
ne batambulira mu makubo ag’ekizikiza,
14 ^jabasanyukira okukola ebikolwa ebibi,
abanyumirwa eby’obusirusiru,
15 ^kabantu abo be b’amakubo amakyamu,
era abakujjukujju mu ngeri zaabwe.

16 ^lAmagezi Mukama g’awa ge gokka agajja okukuwonya ekkubo ly’omukazi omwenzi,
n’okukuwonya ebigambo bye ebisendasenda,
17 ^meyaleka bba ow’omu buvubuka bwe
era eyeerabira endagaano gye yakola mu maaso ga Katonda we.
18 ⁿKubanga ennyumba ye ekka mu kufa,
n’amakubo ge galaga eri abafu.
19 ^oTewali n’omu agenda ewuwe adda
wadde okufunirayo amakubo g’obulamu.

20Kale tambuliranga mu kkubo ly’abo abatya Katonda
era onywerere mu makubo g’abatuukirivu.
21 ^pKubanga abatuukirivu balituula mu nsi,
era abo abagolokofu baligisigalamu.
22 ^qNaye abakozi b’ebibi balifiirwa ebirungi eby’ensi,
n’abatali beesigwa balizikirizibwa.
