Genda kaakano, Akatabo kange, mu buli kifo

Omutambuze wange eyasooka gye yalabikako:

Konkona ku luggi lwabwe: omu bw’agamba nti, Ani oyo?

Ggwe oddemu nti, Christiana y’ono.

Bwe bakugamba oyingire, kale yingira,

N’abalenzi bo bonna; era, nga bw’omanyi,

Bategeeze bwe bali, n’ewa gye baava;

Oboolyawo banaabategeerera ku ndabika oba ku linnya:

Naye bwe bataabategeere, era nate obabuuze,

Oba edda tebaasembeza

Omukristaayo, omutambuze? Bwe bagamba

Nti baamusembeza, era baasanyukira ekkubo lye;

Kale bamanye nti bano baali ba luganda

Naye; weewaawo, ye mukazi we n’abaana be.

Bategeeze nti baalekawo ennyumba yaabwe n’amaka;

Bafuuse abatambuze; banoonya ensi egenda okujja;

Nti bayise mu bizibu mu kkubo;

Nti basisinkana emitawaana emisana n’ekiro;

Nti balinnye ku misota; ne balwana ne baddayimooni;

Era bawangudde ebibi bingi nnyo;

Weewaawo, bategeeze n’abo abaddirira,

Olw’okwagala olugendo, abaabadde abagumu era abazira

Abalwanirira ekkubo eryo; n’engeri gye bakyagaana

Ensi eno, balyoke bakole Kitaabwe by’ayagala.

Genda era obabuulire ku bintu ebyo ebiwooma

Olugendo bye luleetera omutambuze.

Era bamanye nga bwe bali

Abaagalwa ba Kabaka waabwe, nga bali mu kulabirira kwe;

Amaka amalungi g’abategekera;

Newakubadde basanga empewo ez’amaanyi n’amayengo agasituka,

Nga bwe balinyumirwa obukkakkamu obulungi ku nkomerero,

Abo abanywerera ku Mukama waabwe ne ku makubo ge.

Oboolyawo n’omutima n’omukono balikwaniriza

Ggwe, nga bwe baakola omubereberye wange; era balikuwa ekitiibwa

Ggwe ne banno n’essanyu n’emmere bwe bityo,

Ne kiraga bulungi nti baagala abatambuze.

Ekiwakanyizo 1

Naye bwe batalikkiriza ku nze

Nti ndi wuwo ddala? ‘kubanga waliwo abamu

Abakoppa Omutambuze n’erinnya lye,

Ne banoonya, nga beefuula, okulabika nga ye wennyini;

Era mu ngeri eyo beeyingizza

Mu mikono ne mu mayumba g’abantu be simanyi.

okuddamu

Kya mazima, abamu, mu nnaku zino, okukoppa

Omutambuze wange, ku byabwe batadde omutwe gwange;

Weewaawo, abalala ekitundu ky’erinnya lyange, n’omutwe gwange,

Babitunze ku bitabo byabwe, bibatambulize.

Naye bo, olw’endabika yaabwe, balaga

Nti si bange, ka babe ba ani.

Bw’onoosisinkana abali bwe batyo, ekkubo lyo lyokka

Mu maaso gaabwe bonna, kwe kwogera by’oyagala okwogera

Mu lulimi lwo olw’obuzaaliranwa, omuntu yenna lw’atasobola

Kaakano kukozesa, wadde okulwefuula mu ngeri ennyangu.

Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, bwe banaakyabuusabuusa ku mmwe,

Nga balowooza nti mmwe, ng’abataayaayi, mutambulatambula,

Mu ngeri embi okwonoona ensi;

Oba nti munoonya okulimbalimba abantu abalungi

N’ebintu ebitasaana; ontumye nze,

Nange nnaategeeza nti muli batambuze;

Weewaawo, nnaategeeza nti mmwe mwekka

Muli Batambuze bange, era ekyo kyokka kinaamala.

Ekiwakanyizo 2

Naye, oboolyawo, nnyinza okumubuuliriza

Ku abo abamwagaliza okukolimirwa omubiri n’obulamu.

Nnaakola ki, bwe nnaaba ku luggi olw’engeri eyo

Ne mbuuza ku Batambuze, ne beeyongera okunyiiga?

okuddamu

Teweetiisa, Kitabo kyange, kubanga ebikange ng’ebyo

Si kirala wabula entiisa etaliiko musingi.

Ekitabo ky’Omutambuze wange kitambudde ku nnyanja ne ku lukalu,

Naye sisobodde n’akatono kutegeera

Nti kyanyoomebwa oba ne kigobwa ku luggi

Mu Bwakabaka bwonna, bube bugagga oba bwavu.

Mu Bufalansa ne mu Flanders, abantu gye battiŋŋana,

Omutambuze wange atwalibwa ng’omukwano, ng’ow’oluganda.

Ne mu Buholandi, ‘kigambibwa, nga bwe mbuulirwa,

Omutambuze wange eri abamu asinga zaabu omuwendo.

Ab’omu nsozi za Sikootirandi n’Abayirisi ab’omu nsiko bakkiriziganya

Nti Omutambuze wange abeere mukwano gwabwe ow’oku lusegere.

Mu Bungereza Empya asitulibwa nnyo,

Eyo ayanirizibwa n’amaaso ag’okwagala bwe gatyo,

Ne bamutereeza, ne bamwambaza engoye empya, ne bamuyooyoota n’amayinja ag’omuwendo,

Alyoke alage endabika ye, n’ebitundu bye.

N’okusingawo: Omutambuze wange atambula bulungi nnyo,

N’enkumi buli lunaku ne bamuyimba ne bamwogerako.

Bwe musembera okumpi n’ewaka, kirirabika

Nti Omutambuze wange talina nsonga ya nsonyi wadde ya kutya:

Ekibuga n’ekyalo bimusembeza,

Nga bagamba nti, Tukwanirizza, Mutambuze; weewaawo, tebayinza kwewala

Okumwenya, Omutambuze wange bw’aba ali awo,

Oba bw’alabika mu kibiina kyonna.

Abavubuka abeeyonje bagwa Omutambuze wange mu kifuba ne bamwagala,

Bakitwala nga kikulu, weewaawo, bakiraba nga kisinga

Ebintu ebinene; weewaawo, n’essanyu

Bagamba nti, okugulu kw’akanyonyi kange kusinga kamunye yenna.

Abawala abato, n’abakyala ab’ekitiibwa abato,

Balaga Omutambuze wange ekisa kingi nnyo;

Ebitereke byabwe, ebifuba byabwe, n’emitima gyabwe,

Omutambuze wange abirina; ’kubanga abawa

Ebikoikoyi bye ebirungi mu nnyimba ezigasa bwe zityo,

Ne bibaleetera amagoba emirundi ebiri okusinga obukoowu

Bw’okusoma; weewaawo, ndowooza nnyinza okuba omugumu

Okugamba nti abamu bamutwala okusinga ennyo zaabu yaabwe.

N’abaana bennyini abatambula mu nguudo,

Bwe basanga obusanzi Omutambuze wange omutukuvu,

Bamulamusa; bamwagaliza ebirungi, ne bagamba nti,

Ye mulenzi yekka ow’omulembe guno.

Abo abatamulabangako, naye beewuunya

Bye bamuwulirako, era beegomba nnyo

Okubeera naye, n’okumuwulira ng’anyumya

Engero ezo ez’Abatambuze z’amanyi obulungi ennyo.

Weewaawo, abamu abaali batamwagala mu kusooka,

Naye ne bamuyita musiru era kasiru, bagamba nti kibagwanira,

Kaakano bwe bamulabye ne bamuwulira, okumutendereza

Era bamuweereza eri abo be baagala.

Noolwekyo, Ekitundu kyange Ekyokubiri, tekikugwanidde

Kutya kulaga mutwe gwo: tewali ayinza kukukola kabi,

Mu abo abaagaliza ebirungi oyo eyakusooka;

’Kubanga ojja oluvannyuma n’eterekero ery’okubiri

Ery’ebintu ebirungi, eby’omuwendo, era ebigasa ennyo,

Eri abato, eri abakadde, eri abatagala, n’eri abanywevu.

Ekiwakanyizo 3

Naye waliwo abagamba nti, Aseka n’eddoboozi ddene nnyo

Era abamu bagamba nti, Omutwe gwe guli mu kire.

Abamu bagamba nti, Ebigambo bye n’engero ze bikutte enzikiza nnyo,

Tebamanyi ngeri, okuyita mu byo, gye bayinza okutegeera ky’agenderera.

okuddamu

Omuntu ayinza, ndowooza, okugamba nti, Enseko ze n’emiranga gye

Bisobola okutegeerwa ku maaso ge agajjudde amaziga.

Ebintu ebimu biri bwe bityo, ne bireetera

Ebirowoozo by’omuntu okuseka, ng’omutima gwe gulumwa:

Yakobo bwe yalaba Laakeeri we n’endiga,

Mu kiseera kye kimu yamunywegera era n’akaaba.

Naye abamu bwe bagamba nti, Ekire kiri mu mutwe gwe;

Ekyo kiraga buzzi nti amagezi ge gabikkiddwa

N’ebyambalo byago byennyini—era okusiikuula ebirowoozo

Okunoonya obulungi kye byandyagadde okuzuula,

Ebintu ebirabika ng’ebikwekeddwa mu bigambo ebitategeerekeka

Byongera bwongezi okusikiriza omutima ogutya Katonda

Okunoonyereza ebigambo ebyo kye birina,

Ebyogera gye tuli mu ngeri ey’ebire bwe etyo.

Era mmanyi nti olugero olw’enzikiza

Lusinga okuyingira mu birowoozo ebyagala okumanya,

Era lunywera nnyo mu mutima ne mu mutwe,

Okusinga ebintu ebitaggibwa mu ngero.

Noolwekyo, Kitabo kyange, okuggwaamu amaanyi kwonna

Kuleme kuziyiza ntambula zo. Laba, otumiddwa

Eri mikwano, si balabe; eri mikwano abanaakuwa ekifo

Ggwe, n’abatambuze bo, era ne bakwata ebigambo byo.

Ate, Omutambuze wange eyasooka bye yaleka nga bikwekeddwa,

Ggwe, Mutambuze wange ow’okubiri omuzira, obibikkudde;

Omukristaayo bye yaleka nga bisibiddwa, n’agenda,

Christiana omulungi abiggulawo n’ekisumuluzo kye.

ekiwakanyizo 4

Naye abamu tebaagala ngeri ya kitabo kyo ekisooka:

Bakiyita lugero lwa bufuusa; bakisuula ng’enfuufu.

Bwe nnaasisinkana abali bwe batyo, nnaayogera ki?

Nnaabanyooma nga bwe banyooma nze, oba nedda?

okuddamu

Christiana wange, bw’onoosisinkana abali bwe batyo,

Ky’oteekwa, obalamuse mu ngeri yonna ey’okwagala;

Abakuvuma, ggwe tobavumanga,

Naye, bwe banyiiga, nkwegayiridde, obamwenyeze:

Oboolyawo ‘bwe buzaaliranwa bwabwe, oba olugambo olubi,

Ebibaleetedde okunyooma bwe batyo, oba okuddamu bwe batyo.

Abamu tebaagala byennyanja, abamu tebaagala kiizi, n’abamu

Tebaagala mikwano gyabwe, wadde ennyumba yaabwe oba amaka;

Abamu bakankana olw’embizzi, banyooma enkoko, tebaagala nnyonyi

Okusinga bwe baagala ennyonyi ey’omu kibira oba ekiwuugulu.

Abali bwe batyo, Christiana wange, baleke balonde bye baagala,

Onoonye abo abanaasanyuka okukuzuula;

Toyomba n’akatono, wabula, mu ngeri ey’obwetoowaze ennyo,

Weeyanjule gye bali mu kyambalo kyo eky’omutambuze.

Kale genda, Akatabo kange, olage bonna

Abanaakusembeza ne bakwaniriza,

Bye weekuumira nga bisibiddwa ddala eri abalala;

Era weegombe nti by’onoobalaga biweebwe omukisa

Gye bali olw’obulungi, era bibaleetere okulonda okuba

Abatambuze, abasinga ennyo ggwe nange.

Genda, kale, nkugamba, obuulire abantu bonna gw’oli:

Gamba nti, Nze Christiana; era omugabo gwange

Kaakano, n’abaana bange ab’obulenzi abana, kwe kubabuulira

Kye kitegeeza abantu okutwala omugabo gw’omutambuze.

Genda, era, obategeeze abo be baani era kye bali

Abali mu lugendo naawe kaakano;

Gamba nti, Ono ye muliraanwa wange Okusaasira: ye omu

Atambudde nange ng’omutambuze okumala ebbanga ddene:

Mujje, mulabe amaaso ge ag’omuwala embeerera, muyige

Okwawula wakati w’abagayaavu n’abatambuze.

Weewaawo, abawala abato bayige okuva gy’ali okutwala nga kya muwendo

Ensi egenda okujja, mu ngeri yonna.

Abawala abato abatambula obwangu bwe bagoberera Katonda,

Ne baleka aboonoonyi abakadde abaggwaamu amagezi eri omuggo gwe,

Kiba ng’ennaku ziri abato mwe baaleekaana

Ozaana! abakadde bwe baali basekerera.

Oluvannyuma obabuulire ku Ow’amazima omukadde, gwe wasanga

N’envi ze enjeru ng’atambula ku ttaka ly’Omutambuze;

Weewaawo, obabuulire omusajja ono bwe yali ow’omutima omwesimbu;

Nga bwe yasitula omusaalaba ng’agoberera Mukama we omulungi.

Oboolyawo ku mukadde ow’envi, kino kiyinza okumusikiriza

Okwagala Kristo, n’akungubagira ekibi.

Era obabuulire, Omwami Atyatya bwe yagenda

Ku lugendo, era n’ekiseera bwe yakimala

Ng’ali yekka, n’okutya n’emiranga;

N’engeri, ku nkomerero, gye yafuna empeera ey’essanyu.

Yali muntu mulungi, newakubadde yennyamira nnyo mu mwoyo;

Muntu mulungi, era asikira obulamu.

Era obabuulire ku Mwami Omwoyo-Omunafu,

Ataagendanga mu maaso, wabula bulijjo emabega.

Era obalage nga bwe yali anaatera okuttibwa,

Era Omutima-Omuzira bwe yamuwonya obulamu bwe.

Omusajja oyo yali wa mutima mwesimbu; newakubadde yali munafu mu kisa,

Omuntu yandisomye okutya Katonda okw’amazima mu maaso ge.

Olwo obabuulire ku Mwami Anaatera-Okuwenyera,

Omusajja ow’emiggo, naye nga talina kamogo.

Obabuulire Omwami Omwoyo-Omunafu naye

Bwe baayagalana, ne bakkiriziganya nnyo mu birowoozo.

Era bonna bamanye, newakubadde obunafu bwe bwali omugabo gwabwe,

Naye ebiseera ebimu omu yayimbanga, omulala n’azina.

Tewerabira Mwami Omuzira-w’Amazima,

Omusajja oyo ow’obuvumu, newakubadde yali muvubuka ddala:

Buli muntu omubuulire nti omwoyo gwe gwali mugumu nnyo,

Tewali muntu yali ayinza kumukyusa n’adda emabega;

N’engeri Omutima-Omuzira naye gye bataayinza kwekomako,

Ne bamenya Ekigo ky’Okubuusabuusa, ne batta Okuggwaamu-Essuubi!

Tobuusa maaso Mwami Okwennyamira,

Wadde Atya-Nnyo, muwala we, newakubadde bali

Wansi w’ebyambalo ebyo, ebiyinza okubalabisa

(Eri abamu) nga Katonda waabwe yabaleka.

Baatambula mpola, naye nga banywevu; era, ku nkomerero,

Ne bazuula nti Mukama w’Abatambuze yali mukwano gwabwe.

Bw’onoomala okubuulira ensi ebintu bino byonna,

Kale kyuka, Kitabo kyange, okwate ku buguwa buno;

Obwo, ne bwe bukwatibwako katono, buvaamu ennyimba bwe zityo,

Ne zizinya omulema, ne zikankanya omuwagguufu.

Ebikoikoyi ebyo ebyekwese mu kifuba kyo,

Bireete mu lwatu, obinnyonnyole; era ku bisigadde

Mu nnyiriri zo ez’ekyama, bireke bisigale

Eri abo abalina ebirowoozo ebyangu okubitegeera.

Kaakano Akatabo kano kabeere omukisa

Eri abo abaagala Akatabo kano nange;

Era akagula aleme kuba na nsonga ya kugamba nti,

Ssente ze zibuze bubuzi oba zisuuliddwa.

Weewaawo, Omutambuze ono ow’okubiri abale ebibala

Ebituukana n’ebirowoozo bya buli mutambuze omulungi;

Era asendasende abamu abaabula,

Okukyusa ebigere byabwe n’omutima eri ekkubo ettuufu,

Kwe kusaba okw’omutima okwa
