Yobu 12

¹Awo Yobu n’amuddamu nti,

²“Awatali kubuusabuusa muli bantu.

³Naye nange nnina amagezi ntegeera,

⁴Nfuuse ekisekererwa eri mikwano gyange.

⁵Abantu abali mu ddembe lyabwe batera okusekerera abali mu mitawaana,

⁶Weema z’abanyazi tezibaako mutawaana,

⁷Naye buuza ensolo zijja kukuyigiriza,

⁸Oba yogera n’ettaka linaakusomesa

⁹Biki ku bino ebitamanyi nti,

¹⁰Buli bulamu bwa kitonde buli mu mukono gwe,

¹¹Okutu tekugezesa bigambo

¹²Amagezi tegasangibwa mu bakaddiye?

¹³Katonda y’alina amagezi n’amaanyi;

¹⁴Ky’amenya teri ayinza kuddamu kukizimba;

¹⁵Bw’aziyiza amazzi, ekyeeya kijja,

¹⁶Ye, ye nannyini maanyi n’obuwanguzi,

¹⁷Aggyawo abawi b’amagezi nga tebalina kantu,

¹⁸Bakabaka abaggyako enjegere ze beesiba ebiwato byabwe,

¹⁹Bakabona abatwala nga tebalina kantu,

²⁰Aziba emimwa egy’abawi b’amagezi abeesigwa,

²¹Ayiwa ekivume ku bakungu,

²²Abikkula ebintu eby’ebuziba eby’ekizikiza,

²³Afuula amawanga okuba ag’amaanyi, era n’agazikiriza;

²⁴Abakulembeze baamawanga abaggyako okukola ebisaanidde;

²⁵Bawammantira mu kizikiza awatali kitangaala;
