Tuliizulya enyumba gyaisu omunyago; ¹⁴ Wekubbira akalulu wamu naife; Fenafena twabbanga n'ensawo imu: ¹⁵ Mwana wange, totambuliranga mu ngira wamu nabo: Ziyizyanga ekigere kyo okubitanga mu lugendo lwabwe: ¹⁶ Kubanga ebigere byabwe biiruka mbiro okusengererya obubbiibi, Era byanguwa okuyiwa omusaayi. ¹⁷ Kubanga bategera bwereere ekitimba, Enyonyi yonayona ng'ekibona: ¹⁸ Era abo bateega omusaayi gwabwe ibo, Bagwira mu kyama obulamu bwabwe ibo. ¹⁹ Gityo bwe gibba engira egya buli muntu eyeegomba amagoba; Gitoolawo obulamu bwa beene baago. ²⁰ Amagezi gatumulira waigulu mu luguudo; Galeeta eidoboozi lyago mu bifo ebigazi; ²¹ Gatumulira waigulu mu kifo ekikulu eky'okukuŋaaniramu; Awayingirirwa mu miryango, Mu kibuga mwe galeetera ebigambo byago: ²² Imwe ababula magezi, mulituusya waina okutakanga obutabba na magezi? N'abanyooma okusanyukiranga okunyooma, N'abasirusiru okukyawanga okumanya? ²³ Mukyuke olw'okunenya kwange: Bona, naafukanga omwoyo gwange gye muli, Naabamanyisyanga ebigambo byange. ²⁴ Kubanga njetere, imwe ne mugaana; Ngoloire omukono gwange, so wabula muntu ateekereyo mwoyo; ²⁵ Naye mwijuluire okuteesya kwange kwonakwona, So temutakire kunenya kwange n'akatono: ²⁶ Era nzeena ndisekera ku lunaku kwe mulibonera enaku; Ndikudaala entiisya yanyu bw'erituuka; ²⁷ Entiisa yanyu bw'erituuka ng'omuyaga, N'enaku gye mulibona bwe giriiza ng'embuyaga egy'akampusi; Okweraliikirira n'obubalagazi bwe biribaizira. ²⁸ Kale bwe balinkungira, naye tindiiramu; Balinsagira inu, naye tebalimbona: ²⁹ Kubanga bakyawanga okumanya, So tebeerobozyanga kutya Mukama: ³⁰ Tebatakanga kuteesya kwange n'akatono; Banyoomanga okunenya kwange kwonakwona: ³¹ Kyebaliva balya ku bibala eby'engire yabwe ibo, Ne baikuta enkwe gyabwe ibo. ³² Kubanga okwira enyuma okw'ababula magezi kulibaita, N'okubona omukisa okw'abasirusiru kulibazikirirya. ³³ Naye buli eyawuliranga nze yabbanga mirembe, Era yatereeranga nga wabula kutya kabbiibi.
