4 Ye Kabaka ow’amaanyi, ayagala obwenkanya. Onywezezza obwenkanya; era by’okoledde Yakobo bya bwenkanya era bituufu.

Yea, with the strength of a king—justice, he loveth, —Thou, hast established equity, Justice and righteousness in Jacob, thou, hast wrought.

7 Yayogera nabo mu mpagi ey’ekire; baagondera amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye yabawa.

In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

O Yahweh our God! thou, answeredst them, —A pardoning GOD, thou becamest to them, Yet one bringing vengeance on their deeds.
