3 Sulemaani yayagala abantu okuba n’empisa, n’obulamu obw’amagezi,
4 okuyigiriza amagezi abatalina bumanyirivu,
5 N’abantu ab’amagezi nabo bwe bawulira beeyongere okuyiga
6 Era engero zino zaawandiikibwa okutegeera engero,

10 Mwana wange abakozi b’ebibi bwe bakusendasendanga,
11 Bwe bakugambanga nti, “Tugende ffenna twesanyuse,
12 ng’entaana bw’emira abantu, naffe tubamire tutyo nga bakyali balamu,
13 nga twefunira eby’obugagga bye tutakoleredde,
14 ng’ababi batuyita tubeegatteko,
15 Mwana wange totambuliranga wamu nabo,
16 Kubanga ebigere byabwe bidduka bunnambiro okukola ebibi,

18 naye abantu ng’abo baba beetega bokka,
19 Bwe lityo bwe libeera ekkubo lya buli muntu anoonya okugaggawalira mu bukyamu.
20 Amagezi galeekaanira waggulu mu nguudo;
21 Ne galeekaanira waggulu, mu kifo enguudo ennene we zisisinkanira,
22 Mulituusa ddi mmwe ab’amagezi amatono obutayagala kweyongera kuyiga by’amagezi,
23 Kale singa muwuliriza okunenya kwange,
