1 Ebigambo by’Omubuulizi, mutabani wa Dawudi kabaka mu Yerusaalemi.
2 “Obutaliimu! Obutaliimu!” bw’ayogera Omubuulizi.
3 Omuntu afuna ki mu byonna by’akola,
4 Omulembe ogumu gugenda, omulala ne gujja,
5 Enjuba evaayo era n’egwa,
6 Empewo ekunta ng’eraga obukiikaddyo,
7 Emigga gyonna gikulukuta nga giraga mu nnyanja,
8 Ebintu byonna bijjudde obukoowu
9 Ekyo ekyabaawo era kye kigenda okubaawo,
10 Waali wabaddewo ekintu ekyali kigambiddwa nti,
11 Tewali kujjukira bintu byasooka
12 Nze Omubuulizi nali kabaka wa Isirayiri mu Yerusaalemi.
13 Nagezaako n’omutima gwange okuyiga n’okwetegereza n’amagezi gange gonna mu ebyo ebikolebwa wansi w’eggulu; omulimu Katonda gwe yawa abaana b’abantu okukola, guteganya.
14 Ndabye ebintu byonna ebikolebwa wansi w’enjuba; era laba, byonna butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo.
15 Ekyo ekyakyama tekisoboka kugololebwa,
16 Nayogera munda yange nti, “Nfunye amagezi mangi agasinga ag’abo bonna abaali babadde mu Yerusaalemi, era nfunye amagezi n’okumanya kungi.”
17 Era omutima gwange ne gumanya okwawula amagezi n’eddalu, n’obutategeera. Ne ntegeera nti na kino nakyo kugoberera mpewo.
18 Kubanga mu magezi amangi mujjiramu okunakuwala kungi;
