Awo Yobu n’amuddamu nti,
2 Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.
“Awatali kubuusabuusa muli bantu. Bwe mulifa n’amagezi gammwe ne gafa.
3 Also [belongs] to me a heart - like you not [am] falling I more than you and with whom? [are] there not like these [things].
Naye nange nnina amagezi ntegeera, temunsinga. Ani atabimanyi ebyo byonna?
4 A laughingstock to friend his - I am [one who] called to God and he answered him [is] a laughingstock a righteous [person] a blameless [person].
Nfuuse ekisekererwa eri mikwano gyange. Nze eyakoowolanga Katonda n’anziramu, ne nsekererwa obusekererwa, ate nga ndi mutukuvu ataliiko musango!
5 [belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.

7 And but ask please [the] animals so it may teach you and [the] bird[s] of the heavens so it may tell to you.

Bawammantira mu kizikiza awatali kitangaala; abaleetera okutagala ng’abatamiivu.”
