Yobu 16

1 Yobu n’addamu nti,

2 “Mpulidde ebintu bingi ebiri nga bino; mwenna muli mikwano gyange egitagasa.

3 Ebigambo byammwe bingi, tebiikome? Kiki ekibaluma ne mutalekeraawo kuwakana?

4 Nange nandyogedde nga mmwe, singa mmwe mubadde mu kifo kyange; nandyogedde ebigambo ebisengeke obulungi ebibanyiga, ne mbanyeenyeza n’omutwe gwange.

5 Naye akamwa kange kandibazizzaamu amaanyi; ebigambo eby’essuubi okuva mu kamwa kange byandibaleetedde eddembe.

6 “Ate bwe njogera, obulumi bwange tebuwona, bwe nsirika era busigalawo.

7 Mazima ddala, Ayi Katonda, ommazeemu amaanyi; osaanyiririzzaawo ddala ennyumba yange yonna.

8 Onsibye n’onyweza ekinnumiririza ddala, obukovvu bwange bwe bukulaga bwe ndi, kirabika ne ku maaso.

9 Katonda annumba n’obusungu bwe n’anjuzaayuza, annumira emba; omulabe wange antunuulira nkaliriza n’amaaso ge agafumita.

10 Abantu bayasamya emimwa gyabwe ne bansekerera; bankuŋŋaanirako ne bankuba empi ku matama.

11 Katonda ampaddeyo eri omukozi w’ebibi, era n’ansuula mu mikono gy’ababi.

12 Nnali bulungi, n’anjuzaamu wakati; yankwata ku nsingo n’ammenyamu. Anfudde ssabbaawa,

13 abakubi b’obusaale banneetoolodde. Awatali kusaasira, afumita ensigo zange, omususa gwange ne guyiika ku ttaka.

14 Annumba, emirundi n’emirundi, n’anfubutukirako ng’omulwanyi omuzira.

15 “Neetungidde ebikutiya eby’okukungubagiramu, ne nkweka obwenyi bwange mu nfuufu.

16 Nzenna mmyuse amaaso olw’okukaaba, ekisiikirize ekikwafu ennyo kyetoolodde amaaso gange,

17 newaakubadde ng’emikono gyange tegirina bibi bye gikoze, n’okusaba kwange nga kutukuvu.

18 “Ggwe ensi, tobikka ku musaayi gwange; nneme okusirisibwa!

19 Era kaakano omujulirwa wange ali mu ggulu; omuwolereza wange ali waggulu nnyo ddala.

20 Mikwano gyange bansekerera, amaaso gange nga gakulukusa amaziga eri Katonda.

21 Ku lw’omuntu, yeegayirira eri Katonda ng’omuntu bwe yeegayiririra mukwano gwe.

22 “Emyaka mitono eginaayitawo nga sinnakwata lugendo olw’obutadda.”
