kubanga tulumbiddwa.
Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri

25:2 a Yk 7:42 b Lub 48:7 c Zab 102:25 d Mat 2:6*“Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa,
newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda,

Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda,

okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana,
era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo
eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.

mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we.
Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu

55:5 a Is 9:6; Luk 2:14; Bak 1:19-20 b Is 8:7 c Is 10:24-27Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe.
Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe

65:6 a Lub 10:8 b Zef 2:13 c Nak 2:11-13Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala
era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone.
Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli

era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.
75:7 a Mi 2:12 b Is 44:4Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera
wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde,
babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama,
ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo

ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.

“Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo
ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.
115:11 a Is 6:11 b Kos 10:14; Am 5:9Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo
era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.
125:12 Ma 18:10-12; Is 2:6; 8:19Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo
era toliddayo kukolima nate.
135:13 Ez 6:9; Zek 13:2N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza.
Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga;
temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda

145:14 Kuv 34:13Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe,
ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.
155:15 Is 65:12Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde
n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”
