Ezeekyeri 27
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came to me saying,
2 “Kaakano, ggwe omwana w’omuntu tandika okukungubagira Ttuulo.
And you, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;
3 Oyogere eri Ttuulo, ekiri awayingirirwa mu nnyanja, omusuubuzi ow’amawanga ag’oku ttale ery’ennyanja, nti bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ggwe Ttuulo oyogera nti, “Natuukirira mu bulungi.”
