 2 Nkugambe ki, mwana wange,

Nkugambe ki, omwana w’enda yange,

Nkugambe ki, omwana ow’obweyamo bwange?+

 3 Towa bakazi maanyi go,+

Era tokwata makubo gazikiriza bakabaka.+

 4 Lemweri, bakabaka tebagwanidde

Bakabaka tebagwanidde kunywa mwenge,

Era n’abafuzi tebagwanidde kugamba nti, “Omwenge gwange guliwa?”+

 5 Baleme okunywa ne beerabira amateeka

Era ne batakola ku nsonga z’abanaku.

 6 Omwenge guwe abo abagenda okufa,+

Era n’envinnyo giwe abennyamivu.+

 7 Leka banywe beerabire obwavu bwabwe;

Baleme okujjukira ebizibu byabwe.

 8 Yogerera abo abatasobola kweyogerera,

Era lwanirira abo abagenda okufa.+

 9 Yogera era olamule mu butuukirivu;

Lwanirira abanaku n’abaavu.+

11 Omwami we amwesiga n’omutima gwe gwonna,

Era omwami we tajula kintu kyonna kya muwendo.

12 Amukolera birungi, so si bibi,

Ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe.

13 Afuna ebyoya by’endiga ne kitaani;

Era ayagala nnyo okukola n’emikono gye.+

14 Alinga amaato g’abasuubuzi,+

Era emmere ye agiggya wala.

15 Azuukuka nga tebunnakya,

N’awa ab’omu nnyumba ye emmere,

Era n’awa abazaana be emigabo gyabwe.+

16 Alambula ennimiro n’agigula,

Era akola n’amaanyi ge* n’asimba ennimiro y’emizabbibu.

17 Yeeteekateeka okukola emirimu egy’amaanyi,+

Era akozesa emikono gye n’amaanyi.

18 Alaba nga by’atunda bireeta amagoba,

Era ettaala ye tezikira kiro.

19 Engalo ze zikwata akati okuzingiddwa ebyoya by’endiga,

Era zikwata n’akati akalanga wuzi.+

20 Ayamba abanaku,

Era agabira abaavu.+

21 Mu budde obunnyogovu teyeeraliikirira ku lw’ab’omu nnyumba ye,

Kubanga baba bambadde engoye ezibugumya.*

22 Yeekolera eby’okwebikka,

Era engoye ze zaakolebwa mu kitaani n’ebyoya by’endiga ebya kakobe.

23 Omwami we amanyiddwa ku miryango gy’ekibuga,+

Gy’atuula wakati mu basajja abakulu ab’omu kitundu.

24 Aluka engoye eza kitaani* n’azitunda,

Era aguza abasuubuzi emisipi.

25 Wa maanyi era wa kitiibwa,

Era teyeeraliikirira biseera bya mu maaso.*

26 Ayogera eby’amagezi,+

Era etteeka ery’ekisa* liba ku lulimi lwe.

27 Afaayo ku ebyo ebikolebwa mu maka ge,

Era si mugayaavu n’akamu.+

28 Abaana be basituka ne bamutendereza;

N’omwami we asituka n’amutendereza.

29 Abakyala abalungi bangi,

Naye ggwe obasinga bonna.

30 Okusikiriza kuyinza okulimba, n’obulungi buyinza okuggwaawo amangu,*+

Naye omukazi atya Yakuwa y’atenderezebwa.+

31 Muwe empeera olw’ebyo by’akola,*+

Era emirimu gye ka gimutenderezenga mu miryango gy’ekibuga.+
