1 Isirayiri yali muzabbibu ogwagaagadde,
2 Omutima gwabwe mulimba,
3 Olwo balyogera nti, “Tetulina kabaka
4 Basuubiza bingi,
5 Abatuuze b’e Samaliya bali mu ntiisa
6 Erisutulibwa n’etwalibwa e Bwasuli
7 Samaliya ne kabaka we balitwalibwa
8 Ebifo ebigulumivu eby’obutali butuukirivu birisaanyizibwawo,
9 Okuva mu nnaku za Gibea, wayonoona, ggwe Isirayiri
10 Bwe ndiba nga njagadde, ndibabonereza;
11 Efulayimu nnyana ntendeke
12 Musige ensigo ez’obutuukirivu,
13 Naye mwasimba obutali butuukirivu
14 olutalo kyeluliva lubawuumira mu matu,
15 Bwe kityo bwe kiribeera, ggwe Besweri
