4 Ani eyali alinnye mu ggulu n’akka? Ani eyali akuŋŋaanyiza empewo mu kibatu ky’engalo ze? Ani eyali asibye amazzi mu kyambalo kye? Ani eyatonda enkomerero zonna ez’ensi? Erinnya lye y’ani, ne mutabani we y’ani? Mbulira obanga obimanyi.

31 sseggwanga, n’embuzi ennume, ne kabaka eyeetooloddwa eggye lye.
A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
32 Bw’oba ng’obadde okoze eby’obusirusiru ne weegulumiza, obanga obadde oteekateeka okukola ebibi, weekomeko weekwate ku mumwa.
If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
33 Kubanga okusunda amata kuzaala omuzigo, n’okunyiga ennyindo kuleeta omusaayi, okutankuula obusungu, bwe kutyo kuleeta entalo.
For squeezing of milk it brings forth butter and squeezing of a nose it brings forth blood and squeezing of anger it brings forth strife.
