14Ali ng’ebyombo by’abasuubuzi,
aleeta emmere okuva mu nsi ezeewala.
15Agolokoka tebunnakya,

n’agabira abaweereza be abawala be abaweereza emirimu egy’okukola.
16Alowooza ku nnimiro n’agigula;
asimba ennimiro ey’emizabbibu n’ebibala by’emikono gye.
17Omukazi oyo akola n’amaanyi omulimu gwe,

18Ayiiya ebyamaguzi ebirimu amagoba n’abisuubula,
era n’ettabaaza ye ekiro tezikira.
19Anyweza omuti oguluka ppamba mu mukono gwe,
engalo ze ne zikwata akati akalanga.

n’agololera omukono gwe oyo ali mu bwetaavu.
21Mu biseera by’obutiti taba na kutya,
kubanga ab’omu nnyumba ye bonna baba n’engoye ez’okwambala.
22Yeekolera ebibikka obuliri bwe,
era engoye ze za linena omulungi, za ffulungu.31:22 Engoye za ffulungu zaali za bbeeyi era nga kabonero ka kikungu

y’omu ku bakulu abakulembera ensi, era ateeseza mu nkiiko enkulu.
24Omukazi atunga ebyambalo ebya linena n’abitunda,
n’aguza abasuubuzi enkoba.
25Amaanyi n’ekitiibwa bye byambalo bye,
era tatya ebiro ebigenda okujja.
2631:26 Nge 10:31Ayogera n’amagezi,
era ayigiriza ebyekisa.
27Alabirira nnyo empisa z’ab’omu nnyumba ye,
era talya mmere ya bugayaavu.
28Abaana be bagolokoka ne bamuyita wa mukisa,
ne bba n’amutendereza ng’ayogera nti,
29“Abakazi bangi abakola eby’ekitiibwa
naye bonna ggwe obasinga.”
30Obubalagavu bulimba n’endabika ennungi teriiko kyegasa,
naye omukazi atya Mukama anaatenderezebwanga.

n’emirimu gye gimuweesenga ettendo ku miryango gy’ekibuga.
