Engero

26 Ng’omuzira bwe gutasaana kugwa mu kiseera eky’omusana, era ng’enkuba bw’etasaana kutonnya mu kiseera eky’amakungula,

N’ekitiibwa tekisaana kuweebwa musirusiru.+

 2 Ng’ekinyonyi bwe kitaddukira bwereere, era ng’akataayi bwe katabuukira bwereere,

N’ekikolimo tekibaawo awatali nsonga.*

 3 Embalaasi eweweenyulwa kibooko, endogoyi esibibwa nkoba,+

N’abasirusiru bakubibwa emiggo mu mugongo.+

 4 Omusirusiru tomuddangamu ng’obusirusiru bwe bwe buli,

Oleme okumufaanana.*

 5 Omusirusiru omuddangamu ng’obusirusiru bwe bwe buli,

Aleme okulowooza nti wa magezi.+

 6 Akwasa omusirusiru ensonga ze

Aba ng’omuntu alemaza ebigere bye ne yeereetera emitawaana.

 7 Engero eziva mu kamwa k’abasirusiru

Ziringa amagulu g’omulema agalebera.*+

 8 Okuwa omusirusiru ekitiibwa

Kuba ng’okusibira ejjinja mu nvuumuulo.+

 9 Engero eziva mu kamwa k’abasirusiru

Ziba ng’ekimera ekiriko amaggwa ekiri mu mukono gw’omutamiivu.

10 Akozesa omusirusiru oba abo ababa bayitawo

Aba ng’omulasi w’obusaale amala galasa buli ky’asanze.*

11 Omusirusiru akola eby’obusirusiru enfunda n’enfunda,

Aba ng’embwa erya ebisesemye byayo.+

13 Omugayaavu agamba nti: “Mu kkubo mulimu empologoma,

Mu luguudo mulimu empologoma!”+

14 Omugayaavu yeekyusiza ku kitanda kye,

Ng’oluggi bwe lwekyusiza ku ppata zaalwo.+

15 Omugayaavu ateeka omukono gwe mu kibya,

Naye n’abulwa amaanyi agaguzza ku mumwa.+

16 Omugayaavu alowooza nti wa magezi

Okusinga abantu omusanvu abaddamu mu ngeri ey’amagezi.

17 Omuntu aba ayitawo n’asunguwala olw’oluyombo* olutali lulwe

Aba ng’omuntu asika amatu g’embwa.+

18 Ng’omulalu akasuka eby’okulwanyisa eby’omuliro n’obusaale obutta,

19 Bw’atyo bw’ali omuntu alimba munne n’agamba nti, “Mbadde nsaaga!”+

20 Bwe wataba nku, omuliro guzikira,

Bwe watabaawo awaayiriza, okuyomba kuggwaawo.+

21 Ng’amanda n’enku bwe bireetera omuliro okwaka,

N’omuyombi bw’atyo akoleeza oluyombo.+

22 Ebigambo by’omuntu awaayiriza biringa emmere ewooma;*

Bimirwa ne bikka mu lubuto.+

23 Ebigambo ebyoleka omukwano ebiva mu mutima omubi

Biringa ffeeza asiigiddwa ku luggyo.+

24 Atayagala balala akikweka n’emimwa gye

Naye nga mu mutima gwe mulimu obulimba.

25 Ne bw’ayogeza ekisa, tomwesiganga,

Kubanga omutima gwe gulimu ebintu musanvu ebibi ennyo.*

26 Ne bw’alimbalimba n’akweka obukyayi bwe,

Ebibi by’akola bijja kwanikibwa mu kibiina.

27 Asima ekinnya alikigwamu,

N’oyo ayiringisa ejjinja, lirimuddira.+

28 Olulimi olulimba terwagala abo be lulumya,

N’akamwa akawaanawaana kaleeta emitawaana.+
