With The Human Temple, ## Mu kitabo Omuntu Yeekaalu, 
young people are given the opportunity ## bamusaayimuto baweebwa omukisa 
to consider in some depth ## okulowooza ennyo 
the powers of the human spirit. ## ku maanyi g’omwoyo gw’omuntu.
In a world where physical existence ## Mu nsi obulamu bw’omubiri 
is given some much emphasis, ## mwe bussibwako ennyo essira, 
the text explores with them those inner powers ## ekitabo kino kinoonyereza wamu nabo amaanyi agali munda mu bo 
that distinguish the human being ## agaawula omuntu 
from all other things in creation. ## okuva ku bintu ebirala byonna ebiri mu butonde. 
It undertakes this exploration 
by entering into the classroom of a teacher, Mr. Ian Scott, ## Kikwatagana n’omulimu guno ogw’okunoonyereza nga kiyingira mu kibiina ky’omusomesa, Mwami Ian Scott,
who, while considering with a group of students ## oyo, mu kiseera ky’abeera n’ekibinja ky’abayizi 
certain concepts related to language, ## nga balowooza ku miramwa egimu egikwata ku lulimi, 
helps them to think about, for example, ## abayamba okulowooza, ng’ekyokulabirako, 
the nature of spiritual perception ## ku nnono y’okutegeera kw’omwoyo 
and the power of human utterance. ## n’amaanyi agali mu kwogera kw’omuntu.
The readings and exercises in The Human Temple, ## Ebisomebwa n’ebyokukola ebiri mu kitabo Omuntu Yeekaalu,
then, draw the young people who study it ## bwebityo nabyo, bisikiriza bamusaayimuto abakisoma

To watch Ian Scott teach ## Okulaba Ian Scott ng’asomesa 
is to witness young minds yearning for understanding. ## kubeera kujulira obwongo obuyaayaanira okutegeera.
He is a demanding teacher ## Ono ye musomesa ataweeza bayizi be 
and no one expects his classes to be easy. ## era teri asuubira ebibiina bye okubeera ebyangu.
Yet, almost every student in the school ## Naye ate kumpi buli muyizi mu ssomero 
looks forward to taking at least one of the courses he offers. ## yeesunga okutwala emu ku zi kkoosi z’asomesa.
The course for the first year students is a fascinating one. ## Yo kkoosi y’abayizi ab’omwaka ogusooka esikiriza okukamala.
It is about language but it teaches much more; ## Ekwata ku lulimi naye ate mulimu n’ebirala bingi ebiyigirwamu;
students say that Mr. Scott gets into their heads ## abayizi bagamba nti Mw. Scott abayingira mu bwongo 
and rearranges things. ## n’atereeza buli kimu.
We come into the classroom ## Tuyingirira mu kibiina 
as Milly is reading a short passage she wrote the previous day. ## nga Milly asoma ekiwandiiko ekimpimpi kye yawandiika eggulolimu.
The assignment was to choose a few verbs ## Omulimu ogwali gubalagiddwa okukola gwali gwa kulondoba ebigambo ebitonotono 
that relate to the sense of sight  ## ebyekuusa ku maanyi g’okulaba 
and use them properly in a few sentences. ## era babikozese bulungi mu mboozi entonotono.
Write simply, ## Muwandiike ebyangungu.
Mr. Scott has repeatedly said. ## Mw. Scott bakuutira lunye nti,
Nothing fancy; short and clear sentences only. ## Temussamu nnyo malala; muwandiike emboozi ennyimpimpi era ezitegeerekeka zokka.
Milly reads: ## Milly asoma bino:

"She has put a few sentences together ## “Agassegasse ebitundu by’emboozi

"All of that is obvious," says Mr. Scott. ## Mw. Scott n’agamba nti, “Ebyo byonna byeraga lwaatu. 
But isn't there something else she must have been thinking about? ## Naye tewaliiwo kintu kirala kyonna ky’abadde alowoozaako?
There is silence for a while. ## Wabeerawo akasiriikiriro okumala akaseera.
Then Lau, whose family recently moved to the town, ## Oluvannyuma, Lau, ab’omu maka mw’ava agaakasengukira mu kibuga ekyo, 
raises his voice timidly: ## akangula ku ddoboozi lye eritiitiira nti,
It is about hope; our hopes for tomorrow. ## Awandiise ku ssuubi; essuubi lyaffe ery’enkya. 
We have hope when we know we have friends. ## Tubeera n’essuubi bwe tumanya nti tulina emikwano.

Look at the sun. Look at the moon. Look at the stars, ## Tunuulira enjuba. Tunuulira omwezi. Tunuulira emmunyeenye.
The sun gives light. The moon gives light. The stars give light. ## Enjuba ewa ekitangaala. Omwezi guwa ekitangaala. Emmunyenye ziwa ekitangaala.
We can see in the light. ## Tusobola okulaba mu kitangaala.
It was dark last night. ## Ekiro ekikeeseza olwaleero kyabaddemu enzikiza nnyingi. 
There was no light. ## Tewaabaddewo kitangaala.
We could not see in the dark. ## Twabadde tetuyinza kulaba mu nzikiza.
The sun rose in the morning. ## Enjuba yavaayo ku makya.
The sun gave light. We could see. ## Enjuba yawa ekitangaala. Ne tusobola okulaba.
We look at things near to us. ## Tutunuulira ebintu ebituli okumpi.
We look at things far from us. ## Tutunuulira ebintu ebituli ewala.
We see with our eyes. We need eyes to see. ## Tulaba n’amaaso gaffe. Twetaaga amaaso okulaba.
We looked for the light. We found the light. ## Twanoonya ettabaaza. Twafuna ettabaaza.
There is light everywhere. ## Ekitangaala kiri buli wamu.
We see when there is light. We need light to see. ## Tulaba bwe wabeerawo ekitangaala. Twetaaga ekitangaala okulaba.
Enidia raises her hand: "Franco has written about light again, ## Enidia awanika omukono ggwe: “Era Franco awandiise ku kitangaala nate, 
the light that comes from the sun, the moon, and the stars. ## ekitangaala ekiva ku njuba, omwezi n’emmunyeenye”.
"We need eyes to see and we need light to see," says Kianga. ## Kianga agamba nti, “Twetaaga amaaso okulaba era twetaaga ekitangaala okulaba”.
"Franco, you did not just mean phvsical light, did you?" asks Milly ## Milly abuuza nti, “Franco, wabadde totegeeza kitangaala kino ekirabwa n’amaaso, si bwekiri?”
"No, there is another kind of light that helps us see with our... ## “Nedda, waliwo ekika ky’ekitangaala ekirala ekituyamba okulaba n’a…,”

circle the correct answer. ## teeka enkulungo ku kyokuddamu ekituufu.
Phyical	light belps us see with our outer sight. ## Ekitangaala ekyaka kituyamba okulaba n’amaaso gaffe. 
Here, the word "physical" means ## Wano ekigambo ‘okwaka’ kitegeeza
the study of physics. ## Essomo ly’entambula y’ebintu
something that cannot be seen. ## Ekintu ekitalabika
something that can be known through one of our senses: ## Ekintu kyetusobola okutegeera nga tweyambisa ebitundu byaffe eby’omubiri: 
sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. ## okulaba, okuwulira, okukwatako, okulegako era n’okuwunyako.
With our inner eyes, ## N’amaaso gaffe ag’omunda, 
we are able to see the difference between right and wrong. ## tusobola okwawula wakati w’ekirungi n’ekibi. 
Here the word "inner" refers to ## Wano ekigambo ‘ag’omunda’ kitegeeza
something inside our body. ## Ekintu ekiri munda mu mubiri gwaffe
a power greater than our physical senses. ## Amaanyi agali waggulu w’ebitundu byaffe eby’omubiri
something outside our body. ## Ekintu ekiri wabweru w’omubiri gwaffe
Veils prevent us from the seeing the truth. ## Entimbe zituziyiza okulaba amazima. 
A "veil" in this sense refers to ## Wano “olutimbe” kitegeeza
a curtain that hangs over a window. ## Ekitimba ekiwanikiddwa ku ddirisa
something that covers our body. ## Ekintu ekibikka emibiri gyaffe
something that covers our inner eye. ## Ekintu ekibikka eriiso lyaffe ery'omunda
"Franco is at a loss for words" means ## “Franco asobeddwa ebyokwogera” kitegeeza
Franco cannot think of the words he needs. ## Franco tasobola kujjukira bigambo by’ayagala
Franco forgets what he wants to say. ## Franco yeerabira ky’ayagala okwogera.
Franco loses something. ## Franco ekintu kimubuzeeko.
Prejudices are veils that cover our inner sight ##  Kyekuubira z’entimbe ezibikka amaaso gaffe agomunda 
and do not allow us to see the truth. ## era ne zitulemesa okulaba amazima.
Match each sentence on the left to one on the right ## Wenkanyenkanye buli emu ku mboozi eziri ku kkono n’ezo eziri ku ddyo 
in order to show what we should do ## okusobola okulaga biki bye tusaana okukola 
to get rid of prejudice. ## okwewala kyekuubira.
Thinking that we are better than those who are less educated. ## Okulowooza nti tusingako ku abo abalina obuyigirize obutono.

Showing humility towards everyone and learning from them. ## Okwetowaza eri buli muntu n’okubaako kye tubayigirako

Mr. Scott asks the students to carry out the following exercises: ## Mw. Scott asaba abayizi okukola ebyokwegezaamu bino wammanga:
We can use words such as "yesterday", "today", and "tomorrow" ## Tusobola okukozesa ebigambo nga “jjo”, “leero”, n’"enkya”
when we want to talk  ## bwe tubeera twagala okwogera 
about the past, present, and future. ## ku byayita, ebya kakati, n’eby’omu maaso.
Complete the sentences below by using the following word: ## Maliriza emboozi zino wammanga ng’okozesa ebigambo bino ebiddirira:
What we own today, another may possess tomorrow. ## Kye tulina leero, omulala ayinza okukifuna enkya.
Today the seed is sown;  ## Olwaleero ensigo esimbiddwa, 
tomorrow a mighty tree will rise. ## enkya enavaamu omuti omuwaguufu.
Progress has made the city that looked dead yesterday come to life today. ##  Enkulaakulana efudde ekibuga ekyalabise nga ekifu jjo, okuddamu obulamu leero.

Inner beauty never dies.  ## Obulungi obw’omunda tebufa. 
It will be there tomorrow as it is today. ## Enkya bujja kubeerawo nga bwe buli olwaleero.
In the phrases below, ## Mu bitundu by’emboozi bino wammanga, 
words such as "morning", "brightness", ## ebigambo nga “amakya”, “obutangaavu”, 
"night", and "gloom" are used in a special way. ## “ekiro”’ “n’ekizikiza” bikozeseddwa mu ngeri ey’enjawulo.
Make as many true statements as possible ## Kola emboozi entuufu nnyingi nga bw’osobola 
by matching two phrases together. ## ng’ogatta ebitundu by’emboozi bibiri wamu.
The brightness of love drives out ## Obutangaavu bw’okwagala bugoba
The darkness of hate ## Ekizikiza ky’obukyayi
The darkness of prejudice ## Ekizikiza kya kyekuubira
The morning of hope breaks up ## Amakya g’essuubi gasasaana
The night of ignorance darkens ## Ekiro ky’obutamanya kikutte ekibululu
The gloom of sorrow ## Ekizikiza ky’obuyinike
The darkness of despair ## Enzikiza y’okuterebuka
The light of joy drives away ## Ekitangaala eky’essanyu kigoba
The brightness of truth ## Obutangaavu obw’amazima
The light of knowledge removes ## Ekitangaala ky’okumanya kiggyawo

The poem we will hear today ## Ekitontome kye tugenda okuwulira olwaleero, 
is one that Sateesh wrote about the light of knowledge. ## kyekyo Sateesh kye yawandiika nga kikwata ku kitangaala ky’okumanya
Sateesh begins reading: ## Sateesh atandika okusoma:
You observe the things around you. ## Wekkaanya ebintu ebikwetoolodde
You look into things that are small. ## Otunula mu bintu ebitono
You view things that are large. ## Weetegereza ebintu ebinene
You see and you understand. ## Olaba era otegeera
Look at the tree and see the leaves move. ## Tunuulira omuti olabe ebikoola nga bwe byenyeenya.
Look at the ocean and see the waves rise. ## Tunuulira ssemayanja olabe amayengo agabimba
You see the leaves and the waves with your eyes. ## Ebikoola n’amayengo obiraba n’amaaso go
You know there is wind. ## Omanya nti waliwo empewo.
You see the wind with your mind. ## Empewo ogirabira mu kumanya kwo.
We can see when there is knowledge. ## Tusobola okulaba bwe wabeerawo okumanya.
We see with the light of knowledge. ## Tulaba n’ekitangaala eky’okumanya.
The light of the sun is bright. We can see far. ## Omusana gwaka nnyo. Tusobola okulengera ewala.
The light of knowledge is brighter. ## Ekitangaala ky’okumanya kyaka okukirawo.
With the light of knowledge we see farther. ## Ekitangaala ky’okumanya kitusobozesa okulengera ewala. 
We look at the tree and see the fruits. ## Tutunuulira omuti olabe ebibala.
We look at the people and see friends. ## Tutunuulira abantu olabe emikwano.
We think of unity. ## Tulowooza ku bumu.
We are fruits of one tree. We understand. ## Tuli bibala bya muti gumu. Tutegeera. 
Things make sense when I think about the three passages together, ## Ebintu bitegeerekeka bulungi bwe tugatta ebiwandiiko ebisatu awamu.
What do you mean?  ## Otegeeza ki?
Well, first we talked about the light of the sun, ## Anti, twasoose kwogera ku musana
and how the sun rises every day to give us light. ## n’engeri enjuba gy’evaayo buli lunaku okutuwa ekitangaala.   
Then we talked about the veils ## Oluvannyuma ne twogera ku ntimbe 
that come in between the light of knowledge and our inner eyes. ## ezeekiika wakati w’omusana gw’okumanya n’amaaso gaffe ag’omu nda.  
Now Sateesh tells us more about this other kind of light. ## Kaakano Sateesh ayongera okutunnyonnyola ku kitangaala kino eky’engeri endala.
Without the light of knowledge, ## Ekitangaala eky’okumanya bwe kibulawo, 
we are not able to see right from wrong, ## tetusobola kwawula kirungi na kibi,
truth from error, and beauty from ugliness. ## amazima n’okuwaba, ebitunula obulungi n’obubi. 
Without knowledge, our lives are filled with illusions. ## Okumanya bwe kubulawo, obulamu bwaffe bujjuzibwa ebirowoozo eby’obusa. 
Do you know what a mirage is? ## Mumanyi kye bayita ekiguumaaza?  
If you are in the desert on a hot day, ## Bwobeera mu ddungu mu budde obw’omu ttuntu ng’omusana gwaka nnyo, 
you may see what appears to be a lake in the distance. ## oyinza okulengera ekintu ekyefaananyiriza nga ennyanja eri ewala. 
You may run to it if you are thirsty, ## Oyinza okudduka ng’odda gy’eri bw’obeera n’ennyonta, 
only to find out that it does not really exist. ## wabula ate n’okizuula nti teriiwo.
It is an illusion. ## Kibeera kiguumaaza. 
You should learn to see a mirage for what it is while you are young, ## Musaana okuyiga okulaba ekiguumaaza kwe kiva nga mukyali bato,  
before time and again you are deceived by one. ## nga temunnawubisibwa kiguumaaza enfunda ennyingi.

Mr. Scott asks his students to do the two exercises below: ## Mw. Scott asaba abayizi be okukola ebibaweereddwa bino wammanga:
We see with our mind what we cannot see with our eyes. ## Tulaba n’amagezi gaffe ebyo bye tutasobola kulaba n’amaaso gaffe. 
How do we know the following exist? ## Tumanya tutya nti bino wammanga gyebiri?
Love, Force of gravity, ## Okwagala, Amaanyi ag’omu bbanga
Atoms and molecules, Electricity ## Bukakolabulamu n’obutaffaali, Amasannyalaze
The numerous suns and planets ## Enjuba ne zi sseggendo enkumuliitu ezitabalika
Goodness, The human soul ## Obuntubulamu, Omwoyo gw’omuntu
Illusions are veils that darken our sight. ## Byetulowooza nti weebiri zibeera ntimbe ezituziyiza okulaba.
But throughout history, people have used the power of imagination ## Naye mu byafaayo byonna, abantu bakozesezza amaanyi ag’okukuba ebifaananyi mu bwongo 
to think of ideas that bring light to the world. ## okulowooza ku bintu ebireeta ekitangaala mu nsi. 
How has imagining the following things ## Okukuba kuno ebifaananyi mu bwongo ku bintu bino wammanga

Read the following passage several times: ## Soma ekiwandiiko kino ekiweereddwa wammanga emirundi egiwerako:
A man may have attained to a high degree of material progress, ## Omuntu asobola okubeera ng’atuuse ku bugagga obw’eddaala erya waggulu, 
but without the light of truth his soul ## naye bw’abeera nga talina kitangaala ky’amazima,  
is stunted and starved. ## omwoyo gwe gukonziba era gulumwa enjala. 
Another man may have no material gifts, ## Omuntu omulala ayinza obutabeera na birabo bya mubiri,  
and be at the bottom of the social ladder, ## era n’abeera omuntu owa wansi ennyo, 
but, having received the warmth of the Sun of Truth, ## naye, olw’okubeera nga yafuna akabugumu ak’Enjuba ey’Amazima, 
his soul is great ## omwoyo gwe gubeera gwa maanyi 
and his spiritual understanding is enlightened. ## era n’okutegeera kwe mu by’omwoyo kubeera kutangaavu.
Now, on the basis of what you have learned in the last few lessons, ## Kaakati, nga weesigama ku ebyo by’oyize mu masomo amatonotono agawedde, 
write a passage about the power of sight: ## wandiika emboozi empanvu ekwata ku maanyi g’okulaba:
The next three classes are dedicated to the power of hearing. ## Amasomo asatu agaddirira essira galisizza ku maanyi g’okuwulira.  
Sohrab's passage is read first: ## Emboozi ya Sohrab empanvu ye yasooka okusomebwa.
I stand in a garden. ## Nnyimiridde mu nnimiro.
The garden overlooks the sea. ## Ennimiro eyolekedde ennyanja.
I stand near a fountain. ## Nnyimiridde okumpi n’ensulo.
I stand and listen. ## Nnyimirira era ne mpuliririza.
Water is flowing from the fountain. ## Amazzi gakulukuta okuva mu nsulo.
I hear the murmur of the water. ## Mpulira enswagiro y’amazzi.
The sun is rising. ## Enjuba evaayo.
The birds are singing on the branches of the trees. ## Ebinyonyi biyimbira ku matabi g’emiti.
There is a soft breeze. ## Waliwo akawewo akaweweevu.
The flowers are dancing. ## Ebimuli bizina.
I hear the whisper of the breeze. ## Mpulira akaama akava mu kawewo.
I hear the music to which the flowers dance. ## Mpulira amaloboozi g’ebivuga agazinyisa ebimuli.
There is music all around me. ## Okuneetooloola wonna waliwo amaloboozi g’ebivuga.
But to hear the melody, I must listen, ## Naye okuwulira eddoboozi ly’oluyimba, nteekwa okuwuliriza.
I listen. My spirit soars. ## Mpuliriza. Omwoyo gwange gutumbiira.
My mind finds peace. ## Emeeme yange etebenkera.
This time I am sure we are talking about the inner ear, ## Ku luno nkikakasa twogera ku kutu okw’omu nda.
says Peter humorously. ## Peter ayogera nga bw’agereesa nti, 
And the outer one too," responds Amina. ## Amina ayanukula nti,  “Era nno n’okwebweru.”
Is the music Sohrab says he hears real, ## “Amaloboozi g’oluyimba Sohrab g’agamba nti awulira ddala agawulirira,
or is he imagining it?" asks Maryam. ## Maryam abuuza nti,  oba akuba kifaananyi mu bwongo nti agawulira?”
"Does not the composer of a beautiful melody hear it first ## “Olowooza omuyiiya w’eddoboozi erinyuma tasooka kuliwulira 
before she writes down the notes or others to play? ## nga tannaluwandiika maloboozi gaalwo olwo abalala balyoke balukube mu bivuga?
 
The garden overlooks the sea. This means: ## Ennimiro eyolekedde ennyanja. Kino kitegeeza nti: 
the garden has a view of the sea. ## Ennimiro erengera ennyanja  
the garden is by the seashore. ## Ennimiro eri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja   
the garden is near the sea. ## Ennimiro eriraanye ennyanja
The murmur of the water is ## Enswagiro y’amazzi
the loud sound of water splashing. ## ly'eddoboozi eddene ery’amazzi nga gasamukka
the continuous and soft sound of water in movement. ## ly'eddoboozi esseeneekerevu eritasalako erikolebwa amazzi agakulukuta
the sound of water you imagine hearing. ## ly'eddoboozi ly’amazzi ly’olowooza nti owulira 
Our spirits soar when ## Emyoyo gyaffe gitumbiira bwe
we are angry ## tubeera abanyiivu  
we feel deep joy. ## tubeera nga tuwulira essanyu eringi
we are flying in a plane. ## tubeera nga tubuuka mu nnyonyi

To see, I must look. ## Okulaba, nteekwa okutunula
To understand, I must think. ## Okutegeera, nteekwa okulowooza

To stand, I must rise. ## Okuyimirira, nteekwa okugolokoka
To observe, I must	questions. ## Okwekkaanya, nteekwa okubuuza ebibuuzo.
 
Below are the exercises ## Wammanga by'eby eby'okukola 
Mr. Scott asks the students to carry out. ## Mw. Scott by'asaba yagambye abayizi okukola.
What we hear influences us in one way or another. ## Bye tuwulira birina bye bitukyusaamu mu ngeri emu oba endala. 
To help you think about this, ## Okukuyamba okulowooza ku kino, 
complete each of the sentences below ## maliriza buli emu ku mboozi zino wammanga 
with one of the phrases that follow. ## ng’okozesa ekimu ku bigambo ebizingire awamu ebikuweereddwa wammanga.
Listening to the advice of a wise friend ## Okuwuliriza amagezi agakuweereddwa okuva mukwano omugezi

Listening to empty and small talk ## Okuwuliriza emboozi etaliimu nsa
can make us dull and stupid. ## kiyinza okutufuula abasiru ear ba ssekibotte.
 
Music can influence us positively or negatively. ## Ennyimba n’ebivuga bisobola okutuleetamu enkyukakyuka ezituyamba oba ezituwabya. 
Give examples of music you know ## Waayo ebyokulabirako eby’ennyimba n’ebivuga by’omanyi 
that creates in you some of the following positive thoughts, emotions, and desires: ## ebikuleetamu ebimu ku birowoozo ebirungi, embeera y’omwoyo ennungi, n’okwegomba okulungi:

Desire to free the oppressed ## Okwegomba okufuula abo abanyigirizibwa okubeera mu ddembe 
Desire to get closer to God ## Okwegomba okusemberera Katonda

For the second class on the power of hearing, ## Mu kibiina ekyokubiri nga bayiga ku maanyi ag’okuwuliriza, 
Mr. Scott asks Maryam to read her piece: ## Mw. Scott yasaba Maryam okusoma ekitontome kye:
She learned her first words from her mother. ## Yayiga ebigambo bye ebyasooka okuva ku nnyina.
She heard her mother's voice ## Yawulira eddoboozi lya nnyina.
She knew her mother's voice. ## Yamanya eddoboozi lya nnyina.
She heard the sounds. ## Yawulira amaloboozi.
She imitated the sounds. ## Yageegeenya amalaboozi.
She could hear words. ## Yasobolanga okuwulira ebigambo.
They were names. ## Gaali mannya.
They were names of things. ## Gaali mannya ag’ebintu.
They were names of people and places. ## Gaali mannya ag’abantu n’ag’ebifo.
She could see those things. ## Yali asobola okulaba ebintu ebyo.
She could see those people and places. ## Yasobolanga okulaba abantu abo n’ebifo ebyo.
She could see them with her eyes. ## Yasobolanga okubiraba n’amaaso ge.
She knew their names. ## Yamanya amannya gaabyo.
There were things she could not see. ## Waliwo ebintu by’ataasobolanga kulaba.
She needed words for them, too. ## Yeetaaganga ebigambo byabyo, nabyo.
She learned new words. ## Yayiga ebigambo ebipya.
Soon, she had words for things she could not see. ## Mangu, yafuna ebigambo by’ebintu bye yalinga tasobola kulaba.
Words were coming together. ## Ebigambo byali byegattagatta.
Thoughts were forming in her mind. ## Ebirowoozo byali byesengeka mu mutwe gwe.
She listened to the words of others. ## Yawulirizanga ebigambo by’abalala. 
She understood their thoughts. ## Yategeeranga ebirowoozo byabwe.
Now, she is learning to read the word. ## Kaakano, ali mu kuyiga okusoma ekigambo.
Words give her power to think. ## Ebigambo bimuwa amaanyi ag’okulowooza.
Words give her power to imagine. ## Ebigambo bimuwa amaanyi ag’okuteebereza.
She hears the word. ## Awulira ekigambo.
She listens for meaning. She understands. ## Awuliriza azuule kye bitegeeza. Ategeera.	
"I like the idea of listening for meaning," says Enidia. ## Enidia agamba nti, “Njagala ekirowoozo eky’okuwuliriza okuzuula amakulu.”
"Maryam has offered us an important insight," Mr. Scott agrees. ## Mw. Scott akkiriziganya naye era n’agamba nti, “Maryam atuwadde amagezi amalungi.   
"We all have to learn to listen for meaning. ## Ffenna tulina okuyiga okuwuliriza tuzuule amakulu. 
If we do, there will be less misunderstanding among us. ## Singa tukola bwetutyo, obutategeeragana bujja kubeera butono wakati mu ffe.
I think to understand others we should listen to them ##  Ndowooza okutegeera abalala, tusaana okubawuliriza 
with our hearts too, ## nga tutaddeyo n’emitima gyaffe,
"That is true," explains Mr. Scott. ## Mw. Scott annyonnyola nti, “Ekyo kituufu. 
"It is not enough just to listen to words; ## Tekimala okuwulira obuwulizi bigambo;
we should try to understand the thoughts ## tusaana okugezaako okutegeera ebirowoozo 
and feelings behind the words. ## n’embeera ebiri mu bigambo ebyo. 
It is often difficult for people to find the words ## Enfunda nnyingi abantu kibabeerera kizibu okufuna ebigambo 
they need to get their ideas across. ## ebituufu okuggusa ebirowoozo byabwe. 
By listening patiently and carefully, ## Bwe tuwuliriza n’obugumiikiriza era n’obwegendereza, 
we help them explain better what they mean. ## tubayamba okunnyonnyola obulungi kye babeera bategeeza.
And sometimes we say one thing ## Ebiseera ebimu twogera kino 
and mean the opposite ## ate nga tutegeeza kirala, 
When I am sad, I tell my friends to leave me alone, ## Bwe mbeera omunakuwavu, bannange mbagamba bandeke, 
but I don't really want to be left alone. ## naye ate nga mu butuufu mbeera saagala bandeke nzekka. 
A good friend would listen to me and understand. ## Owoomukwano omutuufu yandibadde ampuliriza era n’antegeera. 
"How can we learn to listen carefully?" asks Sateesh. ## Sateesh ye abuuza nti, “Tunaasobola tutya okuyiga okuwuliriza n’obwegendereza?
My thoughts keep drifting ## Ebirowoozo byange bitera okudda eno n’eri 
when I listen to someone talking. ## bwe mbeera mpuliriza omuntu ayogera.”
"Mine too, but I try to catch myself ## N’ebyange bwebityo, naye ngezaako okwekomako ebirowoozo byange 
when my attention is drifting away and tell myself to concentrate, ## bwe bitandika okutawankana nga mpuliriza omuntu abeera ayogera.”
Concentration is important, says Mr. Scott.  ## Mw. Scott n’alyoka agamba nti, “Okussaayo omwoyo kikulu nnyo, 
but so is having an open mind, ## naye ate era kye kimu n’okukkiriza okuwuliriza byonna. 
Those who are filled to the brim with their own ideas ## Abo abajjudde obugule endowooza nti be bamanyi bokka, 
cannot listen well. ## tebayinza kuwuliriza bulungi. 
They seem to be listening, ## Balabika ng’abawuliriza, 
but, in fact, they are thinking ##naye nga, mu butuufu, babeera balowooza 
about the next thing they want to say. ## ku ekyo ekiddako kye babeera baagala okwogera.
One way to find out if you are a good listener ## Engeri emu ey’okuzuula oba oli muwuliriza mulungi 
is to see how much you learn from what others have to say. ## kwe kulaba bungi ki obw’ebyo by’oyiga okuva mu balala bye boogera.
We imitate when we learn ## Tugeegeenya bwe
how to do something from another person. ## tuyiga engeri y’okukola ekintu okuva ku muntu omulala 
follow what others say and do without thinking. ## tugoberera ebyo abalala bye boogera n’okukola nga tetubirowoozezzaako.
listen and act according to the voice of our lower nature. ## tuwuliriza era ne tukola okusinziira ku ddoboozi lly’ennono lyaffe ery’obwawansolo.
"To get across our ideas" means ## “Okuggusa ebirowoozo byaffe” kitegeeza
to express our ideas clearly, ## okulambulula obulungi ebirowoozo byaffe, 
so that others can understand. ## bwebatyo abalala basobole okubitegeera.
to jump from one idea to another. ## okubuukira buli nsonga.
to tell others all of our ideas. ## okutegeeza abalala ebirowoozo byaffe byonna.
When our thoughts drift, ## Ebirowoozo byaffe bwe biwuguka,
we float in the air. ## tubungeetera mu bbanga
we listen seriously ## tufaayo nnyo okuwuliriza 
and think about what we hear. ## era ne tulowoolereza ku bye tuwulira
we do not concentrate on what we hear or read. ## tetussa mwoyo ku bye tuwulira oba bye tusoma.
"To be filled to the brim" is to be ## “Okujjula obugule” kwe kubeera
half filled, completely filled, almost filled ## ow'ekitundu, okujjulira ddala, ow'ettengetenge
We often use the same word to describe material things ## Enfunda nnyingi tukozesa ekigambo kye kimu okunnyonnyola ebintu eby’omubiri 
as we do to express things ## nga bwe tukola okunnyonnyola ebyo 
we cannot see, hear, touch, or smell. ## bye tutayinza kulaba, kuwulira, kukwatako oba okuwunyiriza. 
For instance, the word "pure" can be used ## Ekyokulabirako, ekigambo “longoofu” kisobola okukozesebwa 
to describe both "water" and an "intention". ## okunnyonnyola “amazzi” era ne “ekigendererwa”.  
Look at the words in the two categories below. ## Tunuulira ebigambo ebiri ma ttuluba abiri wammanga. 
For every word, an example is given to illustrate ## Ku buli kigambo, ekyokulabirako kituweereddwa okulaga 
how it can be used in a material and a non-material sense. ## engeri gye kiyinza okukozesebwamu mu mbeera ey’ensi y’omubiri n’eyo etalabika.
Think of another example of each, ## Lowoozaayo ekyokulabirako ekirala ekya buli kimu, 
and write it in the space provided. ## era okiwandiike mu bbanga erikuweereddwa.
material	non-material ## Eky’ensi ey'omubiri
strong muscle,	strong will ## Ekinywa ky'omubiri eky’amaanyi, Obumalirivu obw’amaanyi
high chair,	high goals ## Entebe emngulumivu, Ebiruubirirwa ebya waggulu
fearless lion, fearless heart ## Empologoma etetya, Emmeeme etetya
bright room, bright future ## Ekisenge ekyakaayakana, Ebiseera eby’omumaaso ebitangaavu

sweet potato, sweet words ## Lumonde awoomerera, Ebigambo ebiwoomerera
bitter lemon, bitter memories ## Enniimu ekaawa, Ebijjukizo ebinakuwaza

clean clothes, clean heart ## Engoye ennyonjo, Omutima omuyonjo 
Unseen world ## Eky'ensi etalabika

what a good listener does when he or she listens to someone? ## omuwuliriza omulungi ky’akola ng’awuliriza omuntu omulala?
Mark them. ## Biteekeko obuyini
Keeps looking away to see what is happening around ## Amagamaga okulaba ekigenda mu maaso
Looks at the speaker ## Atunuulira oyo abeera ayogera
Keeps yawning ## Ayayuuya buli kiseera
Waits impatiently for the speaker to finish ## Abeera mu kuyaayaana ng’ayagala oyo abeera ayogera amale
Keeps thinking about what he or she wants to say ## Abeera alowooza ku ebyo by’ayagala okwogera
Pays careful attention to every word he or she hears ## Assayo omwoyo ku buli kigambo ky'awulira
Daydreams ## Abeera mu kuloota emisana ttuku
Constantly interrupts the speaker ## Abeera ataataaganya olutata oyo ayogera 
Doodles ## Abeera akuba obufaananyi ng‘omwogezi bw’ayogera
Respects the views of the speaker ## Assa ekitiibwa mu ndowooza z’oyo abeera ayogera
Tries to read the mind of the speaker ## Agezaako okusoma ebirowoozo ebiri mu mutima gw’omwogezi

The class listens to the thoughts ## Abayizi bonna bawuliriza ebirowoozo 
Peter has written for the last session on the power of hearing: ## Peter by’awandiise mu kitundu ky'essomo erisembayo erikwata ku maanyi g’okuwulira:
I hear shouts: ## Mpulira embeekuulo:
Buy this. Buy that. ## Gula kino. Gula kiri.
Buy more. Buy to be happy. ## Gula ebisingawo. Gula obeere musanyufu.
I hear screams: ## Mpulira abawoggana
Vote for me. Join us. ## Londa nze. Twegatteko.
We will make you happy. ## Tujja kukufuula omusanyufu.
I hear whispers of envy. ## Mpulira obwama obw’ensaalwa:
He has more than you. He knows more than you. ## Alina bingi okukusinga. Amanyi bingi okukusinga.
Bring him down and win. ## Mumegge owangule.
I hear sounds of war. I hear cries of anger. ## Mpulira amaloboozi ag’entalo. Mpulira okukaaba okw’obusungu.
Where are the beautiful voices? Where are the joyful songs? ## Galiwa amaloboozi amaseeneekerevu? Ziriwa ennyimba ez’essanyu?
It is hard to hear them. ## Kizibu okubiwulira
The noises distract me. ## Okuwaawaala kw’amaloboozi kuntaataaganya.
I shut out the distracting sounds, ## Nziyiza amaloboozi agantaataaganya,
and then I can hear another voice. ##  olwo ne nsobola okuwulira eddoboozi eddala.
I can hear sweet and timeless melodies: ## Nsobola okuwulira obuyimba obunyuunyuutuvu era obutaliiko kkomo:
You are noble. ## Oli wakitiibwa.
Be a treasure to the poor. ## Beera eky’obugagga eri abaavu.
Be a joy for the sorrowful. ## Beera essanyu eri abo abali mu buyinike.
Be a defender of the victim of oppression. ## Beera omulwanirizi wa nnawaalubwa w’okunyigirizibwa. 
Be a breath of life to the body of humankind. ## Beera empewo y’obulamu eri abantu bonna awamu. 
Be a fruit upon the tree of humility. ## Beera ekibala ekiri ku muti ogw’obwetoowaze.
"Peter has written meaningful sentences ## Peter awandiise emboozi ezirimu amakulu.
"He tells us  comments Kianga. ## Kianga akyogerako bwati, 
that we are surrounded by sounds that distract us," ## Atubuulira twetooloddwa amaloboozi agatataaganya.
"Like the sound of advertising and propaganda," says Amina in agreement. ## Amina mu kukkaanya agamba nti, “Gano gali nga amaloboozi ag’obulango ne pokopoko. 
'Buy this,' 'Buy that,' 'Vote for me.' You cannot get away from it. ##  ‘Gula kino’, ‘Gula kiri’, ‘Londa nze.’ Tosobola kugeewala.
And we hear angry words ## Era tuwulira n’ebigambo eby’obusungu.
"There is so much about fighting and war," exclaims Enidia. ## Enidia ye akungiriza nga bw’agamba nti, “Waliwo bingi ebikwata ku kulwanagana n’entalo.”

"We hear the loud scream of those who fight, too," explains Lau. ## Lau annyonnyola nti, “Tuwulira era n’okuleekaanira waggulu okw’abo ababeera balwana.
The other day I heard this man shouting from his fancy car ## Luli nnawulira omusajja omu eyali mu mmotoka ey’amajolobera ng’aboggolera 
at an old fellow crossing the street slowly, as if he owned the road. ## nnamukadde eyali atambula nempola ng’asala ekkubo, nga gy’oli nti oluguudo lulwe.
"What did you mean by whispers of envy, Peter?" asks Milly. ## Milly kwe kubuuza Peter nti,  “Wabadde otegeeza ki ku bwama obw’ensaalwa?”
I meant the voice inside us ## Nnabadde ntegeeza eddoboozi eriri munda mu ffe
that constantly tells us to want what others have, ## eritugamba olutata okweggwanyiza ebyo abalala bye balina.”
This nagging voice is the voice of our lower nature. ## Eddoboozi ery’okwemulugunya okutakoma ly’eddoboozi ery’embeera ey’obwawansolo. 
It is much more dangerous than all the screams and shouts you hear around you, ##  Lya bulabe nnyo n’okusinga okulekaana n’enduulu by’owulira ebikwetooloodde. 
explains Mr. Scott. ## Mw. Scott n’alyoka abannyonnyola nti,
It is the voice that tells us, ## Eryo ly’eddoboozi eritugamba nti 
we are at the center of the universe, ## ffe tuli mu ntabiro ey’obwengula bwonna, 
that we should want everything for ourselves. ## nti tusaana tweyagalize ffenyini buli kintu. 
We must turn a deaf ear to this voice, ##  Tuteekwa okugaana amatu gaffe okuwuliriza eddoboozi lino; 
and listen instead to the voice of our higher nature, ## era mu kifo kyalyo tuwulirize eddoboozi ery’ennono yaffe eya waggulu, 
the noble side of our being. ## ng’eno y’embeera yaffe endala eky’ekitiibwa. 
A great Chinese philosopher once said that ##  Omufirosoofo omu Omucayina omututumufu olumu yagamba nti 
this voice is in harmony with the melody of heaven. ## eddoboozi lino likkaanya n’oluyimba olw’eggulu olunyuunyuutuvu.
"To whisper" means to speak softly. ## “Okukuba akaama” kitegeeza okwogera mu ddoboozi erya wansi. 
People whisper to each other ## Abantu bogera obwama ne banaabwe
when they do not want others to hear what they are saying. ## bwe babeera nga tebaagala bantu balala kuwulira bye boogera.
when they have something important to say. ## bwe babeera nga balina ekintu ekikulu kye boogera.
when they want to speak the truth. ## bwe babeera nga baagala okwogera amazima.
"To bring someone down" is to ## “Okumegga omuntu” kwe
make someone sit down. ## kuwaliriza omuntu okutuula wansi.
do everything possible so that someone fails. ## kukola kyonna ekisoboka okuleetera omuntu oyo okulemererwa.  
beat someone in a game. ## kuwangula omuntu mu muzannyo.
When something is timeless, ## Ekintu bwe kibeera kya kiseera kyonna,
it does not change with the passage of time. ## tekikyukakyuka ebiseera nga bwe biyitawo.  
it lasts tor a short while. ## kiwangaala akaseera katono.   
it has a long life. ## kiwangaala ebbanga ddene.
For each of the sentences below, ## Ku buli mboozi zino wammanga, 
fill in the blank with one of the following words or phrases ## jjuza mu mabanga ng’okozesa ekigambo oba ebigambo bino wammanga okuwa okuwabula okutuufu:
to give the correct advice:
Listen,	Don't listen, Learn, Don't learn ## Wuliriza, Towuliriza, Yiga, Toyiga
to backbiting and gossip. ## kugeya n’olugambo.
bad habits. ## mize emibi.
to beautiful music. ## obuyimba obulungi.
to the truth. ## eby’amazima.
to lies. ## eby’obulimba.
from your mistakes. ## okuva ku nsobi zo.
to wise words. ## ebigambo eby’amagezi.
to think well. ## okulowooza obulungi
to be humble. ## okubeera omwetoowaze.
 
Mr. Scott helps the students become aware of the false messages ## Mw. Scott ayamba abayizi okutegeera obubaka obw’obulimba 
one often hears by asking them to carry out the following exercises: ## omuntu bw'atera okuwulira ng’abasaba okukola ebibaweereddwa bino wammanga:
Write one or two sentences under each of the messages below ## Wandiika emboozi emu oba bbiri wansi w’obubaka buno obukuweereddwa wammanga 
to describe what is wrong with it: ## onnyonnyole obulimba obubulimu.
A diamond is a girl's best friend. ## Ejjinja ery’omuwendo ye mukwano gw’omuwala owannamaddala.
You are worth all this make-up. ##  Ebyokwewunda bino byonna bigwana ggwe

Happiness is smoking this brand of cigarette. ## Essanyu liri mu kufuuweta kika kya sseggereeti kino.

Between love and passion lies the scent of this perfume. ## Wakati w’okwagala n'okwegomba waliwo akawoowo ak’akaloosa kano.
Wearing this defines who you really are ## Okwambala kino kikufuulira ddala ggwe wennyini.
 
Propaganda is made up of half truths. ## Ppokopoko abeeramu amazima ag’ebitundu.  
Here is the summary of what one politician said in a rally. ## Bino bye bigambo mu bufunze ebyayogerwa munnabyabufuzi omu mu lukuŋŋaana lw’ebyobufuzi lwe yakuba. 
His actual speech was much longer ## Okwogera kwe kwennyini kwali kuwanvu ddala 
and interrupted by cheers every few minutes. ## era nga kutaataaganyizibwa okukubwa kw’emizira n’enduulu buli luvannyuma lwa ddakiika entonotono. 
Given what you know about the world, ## Okusinziira ku ngeri gy’otegeereramu ensi, 
how many of his promises do you think he will keep ## olowooza bimeka ku bisuubizo bye by’ayinza okutuukiriza 
if he gets elected? ## singa alondebwa?
I was born in a small town and grew up poor. ## Nazaalibwa mu kabuga katono ddala era nakulira mu bwavu.  
I went to university while working two jobs on the side ## Nagenda ku ssettendekero nga bwe nkola emirimu ebiri mu biseera ebitaali bya kusoma 
and know what it is like to struggle. ## era mmanyi okubeera mu bulamu obuzibu kye kitegeeza. 
We are a great nation and we deserve a better leader ## Eggwanga lyaffe lyamaanyi era lisaanidde okufuna omukulembeze omulungi 
a leader of the people, and for the people. ## omukulembeze ow’abantu, era abeerawo ku lw’abantu.  
The people of our country are tired of empty promises. ## Abantu abali mu nsi yaffe bakooye ebisuubizo ebyobulimba. 
Medical bills, tuition fees, ## Ebisale eby’obujjanjabi, ebisale eby’amasomero, 
and mortgages keep soaring. ## n’emisingo egyewolerwako buli olukya byeyongera kulinnya. 
Hundreds of thousands have to work day shifts and night shifts. ## Abantu abali eyo mu busiriivu n’okweyogerayo bakola emisana n’ekiro. 
If I win I will make sure there will be equal pay for equal work; ## Singa mpangula nja kukakasa nti abantu bafuna emisaala egyenkananka n’emirimu gye bakola;
there will be no child left without education, ## tewaliba mwana alekebwa bweru mu byenjigiriza, 
no one without proper healthcare. ## tewali n’omu ataafunenga kulabirirwa mu by’obulamu obusaanidde.  
Every hard-working family has the right to own its home. ## Buli maka agalafuubana ennyo galina eddembe okufuna obwannanyini ku maka ago.
Vote for me and I promise you that ## Munnonde era mbasuubiza nti  
together we will make this nation great again. ## nga tuli wamu, tujja kufuula ensi yaffe eno ey’ekitiibwa nate.
Read these passages several times: ## Soma ekiwandiiko kino emirundi egiwerako.

Let us seek the song with the sweetest strains, ## Leka tunoonye oluyimba oluwoomu okuzaama, 
so that it may be taken up by the angels ## bwelutyo lusobole okutwalibwa bamalayika 
and carried to the supreme concourse. ## balutuuse eri eggye ery’omu ggulu. 
Let us hearken to the melody which will stir the world of humanity, ## Leka tuwulire oluyimba oluseeneekerevu olunazuukusa ensi y’abantu bonna, 
so that the people may be transformed with joy. ## bwebatyo abantu bakyusibwe olw’okujjaganya.
Let us listen to a symphony which will confèr life on man; ## Leka tuwulirize oluyimba olw’amaloboozi n’ebivuga ebingi olunaawa omuntu obulamu;
then we can obtain universal results; ## olwo nno tujja kusobola okufuna ebirungi ebibuna wonna; 
then we shall receive a new spirit; ## olwo nno tujjakufuna omwoyo omupya;
then we shall become illumined. ## olwo nno tujja kufuuka abantu ab’ekitangaala. 
Let us investigate a song which is above all songs; ## Leka tunoonyereze oluyimba olusukkuluma ku zonna;
one which will develop the spirit ## oluyimba olunaakulaakulanya omwoyo 
and produce harmony and exhilaration, ## era luleetewo okukkaanya n’okujaganya,
unfolding the inner potentialities of life. ## nga lusumulula amaanyi g’obulamu ag’omu nda.
Now, on the basis of what you have learned in the last three lessons, ## Kaakano, nga weesigama ku by’oyize mu masomo asatu agakaggwa,
write a passage about the power of hearing. ## wandiika ekiwandiiko ekikwata ku maanyi g’okuwulira.

Mr. Scott knows from years of experience ## Okusinziira ku bumanyiirivu bw’alina obw’emyaka egiwerako, 
how capable young people are to think profoundly ## engeri abavubuka abato gye balinamu obusobozi obw’amaanyi okulowooza ennyo 
and how quickly young minds develop the power of expression. ## era n’engeri obwongo bwabwe obuto gye bukulaakulanyaamu amangu amaanyi ag’okweyogerera. 
So, he is not surprised when he listens ## Kale nno, tekimwewuuyisa bw’awuliriza 
to the first piece written by Alexander ## ekitontome ekisooka ekyawandiikibwa Alexander 
and the following two pieces on the power of speech: ## na bino ebibiri wammanga ebikwata ku maanyi ag’okwogera:
A lie was spoken. ## Eky’obulimba kyayogerwa.
It passed from mouth to mouth ## Kyasaasaana okuva ku omu okudda ku mulala 
and destroyed many lives. ## ne kisaanyaawo obulamu bw’abantu bangi.
Truth was spoken. ## Amazima gaayogerwa.
It shone upon every land and illumined the minds. ## Gaayaka ku buli nsi ne gamulisa emmeeme z’abantu.
The human tongue was created to speak the truth. ## Olulimi lw’omuntu lwatondebwa kwogera mazima.
A harsh word was uttered. ## Ekigambo eky’obukambwe kyayogerwa.
It broke a heart and brought sadness to the world. ## Kyamenya omutima era kireeta obuyinike ku nsi.
Kind words were uttered. ## Ebigambo eby’ekisa byayogerwa.
They cheered the hearts and increased understanding. ## Byassannyusa emitima era ne birinnyisa okutegeera.
The human tongue was created to utter kind words. ## Olulimi lw’omuntu lwatondebwa okwogera ebigambo eby’ekisa.
Words were expressed without care. ## Ebigambo byayatulwa awatali kwegendereza.
They spread and separated people from one another. ## Byasaasaana era ne byayawula omu okuva ku munne.
Words were expressed with wisdom. ## Ebigambo byayogerwa n’amagezi.
New meaning was discovered and enemies turned into friends. ## Amakulu amapya gaazuulwa n’abalabe ne bafuuka abanywanyi.
The human tongue was created to express wisdom. ## Olulimi lwomuntu lwatondebwa kwogera bya magezi.
There was gossip. ## Waaliwo olugambo.
There were empty words. ## Waaliwo ebigambo ebitalina nsa.
They became poison and seeped into souls. ## Byafuuka butwa ne biyingira mu myoyo.
The human tongue was not created for idle talk. ## Olulimi lw’omuntu terwatonderwa kwogera bitaliimu.
It can choose to be silent. ## Lusobola okulondawo okusirika.

Alexander is telling us that our words do things, both good and bad ## Alexander atutegeeza nti ebigambo byaffe , ebirunbyogera ebintu, ebirungi n’ebibi
Like what happens when you speak the truth or tell lies. ## Ng’ebyo ebituukawo bw’oyogera amazima oba n’olimba.
And the way kind words change people's hearts. ## N’engeri ebigambo eby’ekisa gye bikyusaamu emitima gy’abantu.
But I don't like people who are full of sweet talk. ## Naye nze saagala bantu aboogera ebigambo eby’okuwaanawaana.
That is because you don't think they are sincere. ## Ensonga eri nti obeera olowooza nti si beesimbu.
And I am not sure about wisdom ## Ate nze sseekakasa ku nsonga y’amagezi. 
I don't want to be a wise guy. ## Saagala kubeera na magezi ag'omu nda. 
Everyone laughs because they realize that ## Buli omu aseka kubanga bonna bakitegeera nti 
Peter is pretending to be a wise guy. ## Peter yeefuula okubeera n’amagezi ag’omu nda.
I am glad Peter is bringing humor to our discussion, ## Kinsanyusa okulaba nga Peter aleetamu okusaagasaaga mu kukubaganya ebirowoozo kuno.
says Mrs. Scott, clearly happy with Peter's statement. ## Mw. Scott n’alyoka agamba, nga yenna alabikira ddala musanyufu olw’ebigambo bya Peter, nti, 
"Actually, there is a relationship ## Mu butuufu, waliwo enkwatagana 
between a good sense of humor and wisdom. ## wakati w’okwogera ebisessa n’amagezi ag’omu nda.
Do you mean we can say funny things and still be wise? ## Ky’otegeeza nti tusobola okwogera ebisesa ate ne tusigala nga tuli bagezigezi?” 
"Yes, you are one of those who know ## “Yee, oli omu ku abo abamanyi 
how to be funny without using bad language or teasing anyone. ## okusaaga nga tebakozesezza lulimi lubi oba okujooga omuntu yenna.
I would call such people wise. ## Abantu ng’abo nandibayise bagezigezi.
Unfortunately, sometimes we do not think ## Eky’omukisa omubi, oluusi tetulowooza 
about the effect our words can have, ## ku biyinza okuva mu bigambo byaffe, 
how they could hurt someone's feelings. ## engeri gye biyinza okulumya omuntu.
Some jokes are said to belittle others. ## Eby’okubalaata ebimu byogerwa okujerega abalala.  
I am sure you have heard many jokes about women, ## Nkikakasa nti muwuliddeko eby’okusaaga bingi nga byogerwa ku bakazi, 
or about people of a particular region. ## oba abantu abasibuka mu kitundu ekimu.  
These types of jokes are expressions of prejudice. ## Eby’okusaaga eby’ekika nga kino byoleka kyekubiira.  
Repeating them is not only unwise but a sign that ## Okubiddiŋŋana tekikoma ku kubeera nti si kya magezi kyokka, wabula n’okubeera akabonero akalaga nti 
we approve of such prejudices. ## naffe tulowooza nti kyekubiira ng’oyo asaanidde.
I think it is best not to laugh or say anything ## Nze ndowooza nti tetwandisekedde ddala oba okwogera ekintu kyonna 
when we hear such jokes, ## nga tuwulidde eby’okubalaata ng’ebyo.
I find Alexander's statement: ## Nze kulwange, ebigambo bya Alexander by’asomye nti,
'The human tongue was not created for idle talk, ## ‘Olulimi lw’omuntu terwatonderwa kwogera bitaliimu, 
it can choose to be silent', ## luyinza okulondawo okusirika’, 
the wisest thing he said." ## “bye bigambo by’ayogedde ebisingidde ddala okubeera eby’amagezi.”

When truth illumines our mind, ## Amazima bwe gamulisa emmeeme yaffe,
we see rays of light. ## tulaba emisittale gy’ekitangaala.
we are able to think clearly. ## tubeera n’obusobozi obw’okulowooza obulungi.   
we see no darkness. ## tetulaba kizikiza.
"To utter" is ## “Okwatula kwe”
to chant. to speak. to shout. ## kuyirimula. kwogera. kuleekaana.
"To utter harsh words" means ## “Okwatula ebigambo ebyobukambwe” kitegeeza
to speak unkindly. ## okwogeza obusungu.
to speak with difficulty. ## okukaluubirirwa mu kwogera.   
to speak loudly. ## okwogerera waggulu.
"To cheer someone's heart" means ## “Okusanyusa omutima gw’omuntu”, kitegeeza
to praise them. ## okumwaana.
to bring joy to them. ## okumuleetera okujjaganya.
to fool them with our words. ## okumusiriwaza n’ebigambo byaffe.
When the poison of idle talk and gossip seeps into our soul, ## Obutwa obw’ebigambo eby'obutaliimu n’olugambo bwe biyingira mu mwoyo gwaffe,
it kills us. it makes us sick. ## bututta. butulwaza.
it pollutes our thoughts and words. ## bwonoona ebirowoozo n’ebigambo byaffe.
To gossip is to talk about other people's personal lives. ## Okubungeesa eŋŋambo kwe kwogera ku bulamu bw’abantu obubakwatako bo bennyini.
Gossip is wrong because ##  Olugambo lubi kubanga
it brings sadness to people about whom we talk.	## Lunakuwaza abantu aboogerwako	
it is usually done with malice. ## Lutera okwogerwa n'obukyayi
it spreads rumors and half-truths. ## Lusasaannya eŋŋaambo n’akalebule
it causes sadness even when what is said is true. ## Luleeta okunakuwala newaakubadde ebyogerwa bibeera bituufu.
it is not our business to talk about the lives of others. ## Si mulimu gwaffe okwogera ku bulamu bwa bannaffe
we waste our time. ## Twonoona obudde bwaffe
it is like poison to our souls. ## Bulinga butwa eri emyoyo gyaffe
The opposite of truth is not always a lie. ## Ekikontana n’amazima tekitegeeza nti bulijjo kibeera kya bulimba. 
It is also possible to be simply mistaken. ## Kisoboka era n’okubeera nti ebadde nsobi. 
Here below are some ideas in which many people may sincerely believe. ## Wammanga bye bimu ku birowoozo abantu abangi bye bayinza okukkiririzaamu mu bwesimbu.
Mark with the letter (K) ## Lamba ebyogerwa ebituufu ng’okozesa ennukuta (K) 
the statements below in each pair that is true. ## ku byogerwa bino ebibiribibiri ebikuweereddwa wammanga:
If two stones, one weighing twice the other, are allowed to fall from the same height, ## Singa amayinja abiri, ng’erimu likubisaamu emirundi ebiri obuzito bwa linnaalyo gasuulibwa okuva ku buwanvu bwe bumu, 
the heavier one reaches the ground in half the time it takes the lighter one to reach the ground. ## erisinga obuzito litwala kitundu kya budde liri eriwewuka bwe litwala okutuuka wansi ku ttaka.
If two stones, one weighing twice the other, are allowed to fall from the same height at the same time, ## Singa amayinja abiri, ng’erimu likubisa mu buzito bwa linnaalyo emirundi ebiri, gasuulibwa okuva ku buwanvu bwe bumu mu kiseera kye kimu, 
both reach the ground at the same time. ## gombi gatuuka wansi ku ttaka mu kiseera kye kimu.
To keep an object moving at a given speed ## Okusobozesa ekintu kyonna okutambulira ku misinde egimu 
we have to apply a force to it. ## tulina okukiwaliriza n’amaanyi.
An object will keep moving at a same speed ## Ekintu kijja kusigala nga kitambulira ku misinde gye gimu 
if there is no force acting on it. ## singa tewali maanyi gakiwaliriza.
White light is the mixture of lights of different colors. ## Ekitangaala ekyeru kiva mu kitambuli eky’ebintu ebitangaala ebya langi ezenjawulo.   
White light is just that: light of no color. ##  Ekitangaala ekyeru kibeera bubeezi ekyo: ekitaangala ekitalina langi.
The worth of a person is in the spiritual qualities he or she possesses. ## Ensa y’omuntu eri mu mbeera ennungi ez’omwoyo z’abeera nazo. 
The worth of a person is in how much money he or she has. ## Ensa y’omuntu eri mu bungi bw’ensimbi z’abeera alina.
Only those things that we can know through our five senses exist. ## Ebintu bye tusobola okumanya nga tuyita mu maanyi gaffe ag’omubiri ag’emirundi etaano bye byokka ebiriwo mu bulamu.
There is much more in God's creation than ## Waliyo bingi nnyo mu bitonde bya Katonda okusinga ebyo 
what we can know through our five senses. ## bye tusobola okumanya nga tukozesa amaanyi gaffe ag’omubiri ag’emirundi etaano.
 
Mr. Scott asks the students to carry out the following exercises: ## Mw. Scott asaba abayizi okukola bino ebibaweereddwa wammanga:
We should try to avoid idle talk. ## Tusaana okugezaako okwewala okwogera eby’obutaliimu. 
This does not mean that we should only discuss serious matters. ## Kino tekitegeeza nti tusaana twogere ku nsonga ez’omugaso zokka. 
Often we enjoy talking about a wide range of light topics with our friends. ## Enfunda nnyingi tunyumirwa okulasa emboozi ezikwata ku bintu bingi ebitalina nnyo makulu ne mikwano gyaffe. 
Identify from the list of topics below ## Ku lukalala lw’emiramwa egikuweereddwa wammanga, 
those requiring serious conversation, ## londako egyo egy’ensonga egyetaaga okwogerwako ennyo, 
those suitable for light conversation, ## egyo egy’olubooziboozi, 
and those leading to idle talk. ## n’egyo egitusikiriza okwogera eby’obutaliimu. 

Mark them with an (A), (L) and (I) accordingly: ## Teekako (A:eby’amakulu), (O:olubooziboozi) oba (E:eby’obutaliimu) nga bwe kisaanira.

In order to discuss important topics seriously, ## Okusobola okukubaganya ebirowoozo ku miramwa emikulu n’obwegendereza, 
we need to express our ideas with clarity. ## twetaaga okulambulula obulungi ebirowoozo byaffe.  
To do so, we cannot just pick up ideas ## Okukola kino, tetumala galeeta buleesi birowoozo 
here and there and repeat them. ## okuva wano na wali n’okubiddiŋŋana.
We need to read a great deal, ## Twetaaga okusoma ennyo, 
talk with knowledgeable people, ## okwogera n’abantu abamanyi, 
and sort out different points of view ## era n’okulondobamu ensonga ezimu enkulu ezenjawulo ze tulina okutunulamu 
before we form our judgments. ## nga tetunnasalawo. 
Take one of the topics you identified above ## Londayo gumu ku miramwa egiri waggulu gw’olaba 
as requiring serious discussion ## nga gwetaaga okukubaganyaako ebirowoozo n’obwegendereza 
and explain how you would go about ## era onnyonnyole engeri gye 
developing your ability to engage in meaningful conversation on the subject. ##  wandikulaakulanyizzaamu obusobozi bwo okusobola okwenyigira mu mboozi ku mulamwa ogwo. 

In the next class, ## Mu kibiina ekyaddirira, 
Kianga reads what she has written about the power of speech: ## Kianga asoma ebyo by’awandiise ebikwata ku maanyi ag'okwogera:
All things speak: some with sound and others in silence. ## Ebintu byonna byogera: ebimu mu ddoboozi n’ebirala mu kasirise. 
The nightingale sings. ## Ennyonza eyimba.
The nightingale sings of its love for the rose. ## Ennyonza eyimba olw’okwagala kwayo eri ekimuli kya looza. 
The lion roars. The lion roars of courage. ## Empologoma ewuluguma. Empologoma ewuluguma olw’obuvumu.
The sound of pouring rain glorifies the spirit of generosity. ## Eddoboozi ly’enkuba eyiika ligulumiza omwoyo ogw’obugabi.
Ants working together in silence express the power of cooperation. ## Enkuyege ezikolera awamu mu kasirise ziraga amaanyi ag’okukolagana.
The turtle moving steadily forward tells the value of perseverance. ## Enfudu etambula ng’egenda mu maaso obutaddirira eraga omuwendo gw’okufunvubira.
The mountain speaks of firmness. ## Olusozi lwogera ku bunywevu.
The mirror proclaims the brightness of the sun. ## Endabirwamu erangirira ekitangaala ky’enjuba.
Every atom in the universe sings the praise of the Creator. ## Buli kasirikitu mu nsi yonna kayimba oluyimba olutendereza Omutonzi.
If the earth had a tongue to speak, it could be heard saying: ## Singa ensi yalina olulimi olw’okwogera, yandiwuliddwa ng’egamba nti: 
I am rich. I provide for you all. ## Ndi mugagga. Mwenna nze mbagabirira.
Yet I accept to be the ground on which you walk. ## Naye ate nzikiriza okubeera ettaka wansi ne muntambulirako.
Our words speak. Our deeds speak. ## Ebigambo byaffe byogera. Ebikolwa byaffe byogera.
Let our words and deeds speak with humility. ## Mukkirize ebigambo n’ebikolwa byaffe byogere n’obwetoowaze. 
I know exactly what Kianga is trying to say ## Manyidde ddala bulungi Kianga ky’agezaako okutegeeza.
exclaims Sohrab the moment Kianga finishes reading her statement: ## Mangu ddala nga Kiang yaakamala okuwunzika okusoma by’awandiise, Sohrab agamba nti,
Words alone are not enough. We should act. ## Ebigambo obugambo tebimala. Tusaana okubissa mu nkola.
She is also saying that we should speak and act with humility, ## Era ayongerako n’agamba nti tusaana twogere era tukole n’obwetoowaze.
adds Amina. ## Amina agattako n’agamba nti, 
I got the idea from one of the passages ## Ekirowoozo nakiggya mu bimu ku biwandiiko 
which Mr. Scott gave us to read a couple of weeks ago, ## Mw. Scott bye yatuwa okusoma wiiki nga bbiri eziyise. 
The earth provides for all our needs and sustains us. ## Ettaka lituwa ebyetaago byaffe byonna era litubeezaawo. 
It is the source of our sustenance, ## Ettaka y’ensibuko ya buli kye twetaaga, 
yet it allows us to walk upon it. ## kyokka ne litukkiriza okulirinnyirira. 
That is humility. ## Obwo bwe bwetoowaze.
But humility cannot mean that we allow others to walk all over us? ## Naye obwetoowaze tekitegeeza nti tukkirize abantu abalala okutulinnyirira buli wamu?
suggests Peter. ## Peter n’awa ekirowoozo nti,
No, that is not humility, that is weakness, ## Nedda, obwo si bwetoowaze, obwo bubeera bunafu.
And foolishness too. ## Era mubeeramu n’obusirusiru.
adds Sateesh. ## Sateesh n’ayongerako nti,
I think humility means not feeling superior to others ## Nze ndowooza obwetoowaze kitegeeza obuteegulumiza ku balala 
and also being willing to learn from them ## era n’okubeera omwetegefu okubayigirako.
What Kianga has written reminds us of another important idea, ## Kianga by’awandiise bitujjukiza ku kirowoozo ekirala ekikulu. 
It is not sufficient to just speak and act, ## Okwogera obwogezi n’okukola tekimala. 
what really counts is the quality of our words and actions. ## Ekisinga obukulu gwe mutindo oguli mu bigambo n’ebikolwa byaffe. 
Kianga mentions humility but ## Kianga ayogera ku bwetoowaze naye 
there are many other qualities that are as important. ##  waliyo embeera endala era nazo nga nkulu. 
We have to speak and act with truthfulness and honesty, ## Tulina okwogera n’okweyisa mu ngeri ey’amazima era ey’obwesimbu, 
with courage and wisdom, ## ey’obuvumu era ey’amagezi, 
with kindness and love. ## ey’ekisa era n’okwagala. 
And our intentions have to be pure. ## Era n’ebigendererwa byaffe birina okubeera ebirongoofu. 
Nothing comes from words that are spoken for selfish reasons. ## Teri kalungi kava mu bigambo ebyogeddwa n’ebigendererwa ebyokwerowoozaako”.

The sentence "The lion roars of courage" means ## Emboozi egamba nti “Empologoma ewuluguma olw’obuvumu” etegeeza nti
the lion is hungry. ## empologoma erumwa enjala.
the loud cry of the lion shows lack of fear. ## okukaabira waggulu ennyo okw’empologoma kulaga obutatya.
the lion is angry. ## empologoma esunguwadde.  
"To glorify" something means to ## “Okugulumiza” ekintu kitegeeza
to praise it highly.  ## okukitendereza ennyo.
to shed light on it. ## okukikubamu ekitangaala.
to make it look bigger. ## okukizimbulukusa.
"To proclaim" a truth is to make it known ## “Okulangirira” amazima kwe kugamanyisa
only to a few close friends. ## eri mikwano gyo bokka abatonotono abakuli ku lusegere.
to those who would like to know. ## eri abo abandyagadde okumanya.  
publicly. ## Mu lujjudde.
"Perseverance" means to go forward quickly ## “Okufunvubira” kitegeeza okugenda mu maaso mu bwangu 
and then to retreat in the face of obstacles. ## ate oluvannyuma n’odda emabega ebikuziyiza nga bikwolekedde.  
go forward and backward. ## okugenda mu maaso n’okudda emabega
go forward step by step and not to give up when obstacles appear. ## okugenda mu maaso mpolampola n'otaggwamu maanyi ebikuziyiza bwe birabika.
Firmness is a quality that is sometimes mistaken for stubbornness. ## Obunywevu ke kabonero oluusi akalowoozebwa okubeera ak’emputtu. 
Decide in which of the following situations ## Salawo mu mbeera zino wammanga 
we show the quality of firmness ## mwe twoleseza akabonero ak’obunywevu 
and in which ones we are being stubborn. ## ne mwe twoleseza ak’emputtu. 
Mark each with an (F) or an (S) accordingly. ## Teeka (1) ku k’emputtu oba (2) ku k’obunywevu.
We strongly hold on to our opinions ## Tunywerera ku ndowooza zaffe 
and do not listen to any idea that is different from our own. ## era ne tutawuliriza ndowooza ndala yonna eyawukana ku yaffe.
We continue to work even under extremely difficult conditions ## Tweyongera bweyongezi okokukola embeera ne bwezibeera nzibu nnyo 
for what we believe to be true. ## ku lw’ekyo kye tukkiriza nti kye kituufu.
As we carry out a service project, ##  Nga bwe tukola omulimu omuteeketeeke ogw’obuweereza, 
we are not prepared to make any changes ## tetubeera beeteefuteefu okukola enkyukakyuka yonna 
to our original plan even when it is necessary. ## mu nteekateeka eyasooka ne bwekibeera kyetaagisa.
In carrying out a service project, ## Mu kukola omulimu omuteeketeeke ogw’obuweereza, 
we are prepared to make adjustments to our original plan ## tubeera beetegefu okukyusaamu mu nteekateeka yaffe eyasooka 
in order to deal with unforeseen situations. ## kitusobozese okwaŋŋanga embeera eziyinza ezitaalabirwawo mu kusooka.
 
Mr. Scott asks the students to complete the following exercises: ## Mw. Scott asaba abayizi okumaliriza ebibaweereddwa okukola bino wammanga:
The opposite of humility is pride. ## Ekikontana n’obwetoowaze ge malala. 
But pride is not always easy to see: ## Naye amalala bulijjo si mangu kulaba; 
it can be hidden as false humility. ## gayinza okukwekebwa mu bwetoowaze obw’obulimba. 
Decide whether the individuals in each of the following situations ## Salawo oba abantu kinoomu abasangibwa mu mbeera zino wammanga 
demonstrate true humility (T), ## babeera boolesa obw’amazima (1), 
false humility (F), or pride (P). ## obwetoowaze obw’obulimba (2) oba amalala (3). 
Mark the phrases accordingly. ## Kozesa ennamba ezo okwoleka ekituufu.
A student is elected as the school representative ## Omuyizi alondebwa okukikkirira essomero lye 
to give a speech in a national event: ## okwogera ku mukolo ogumu ogw’eggwanga:
She is grateful for this opportunity ## Asiima nnyo olw’omukisa guno 
and takes the responsibility of speaking on behalf of the school seriously. ## era atwala obuvunaanyizibwa buno obw’okukiikirira essomero lye n’obumalirivu bungi.
While she tells everyone that her task is to represent the school, ## Wadde agamba buli omu nti omulimu gwe gwa kukiikirira ssomero lye, 
she is really concerned with the opportunity she now has to become famous. ## mu butuufu asinga kufaayo nnyo ku mukisa gwalina kati okufuuka omwatiikirivu.
She thinks she is the best student in the school, ## Alowooza nti ye muyizi akira banne mu ssomero, 
and it is her right to be its representative. ## era y’asaanidde okulikiikirira.
A group of people are consulting ## Ekibinja ky’abantu kiri mu kukubaganya birowoozo 
on a matter of great importance to them: ## ku nsonga enkulu ennyo ebagasa bonna:
One person in the group listens attentively to everyone ## Omu ku bo mu kibinja awuliriza buli omu n’obwegendereza 
and expressés her own thoughts, ## era n’awaayo endowooza ze, 
respectful of what others have said. ## ng’assa ekitiibwa mu banne bye boogedde.
Another person keeps interrupting others ## Omulala abeera atataaganya abalala nga boogera 
and tries to correct them ## era agezaako okubagolola 
because he feels he is an expert on the matter under discussion. ## kubanga yeetwala okubeera omukugu ku nsonga ekubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo.
All throughout the consultation, ## Mu kiseera kyonna eky’okukubaganya ebirowoozo, 
one individual starts every sentence with the phrase ## omuntu omu atandika buli mboozi nga bw’agamba nti 
"in my humble opinion" ## “n’obuwombeefu nze ndowooza” 
and then goes on to insist on his own opinions. ## olwo nno ate n’alyoka agenda mu maaso n’okukalambira ku ndowooza ze.
A lady invites a fèw of her friends to dinner. ## Omukyala omu ayita abamu ku mikwano gye abatonotono ku kyeggulo. 
She spends the whole day preparing the dishes: ## Olunaku lwonna alumala ng’ategeka eby’okulya ebyenjawulo:
As her guests are praising her for the meal, she says: ## Abagenyi be bwe babeera bamutenda olw’ekijjulo ekirungi, abagamba nti, 
Now you can see why I am so picky ## Ndowooza kati mulaba ensonga endeetera okwerondalonda 
when I have to eat what other people cook. ## bwe mbeera nga ndi waakulya abalala bye bafumbye.
While she thinks the meal is delicious ## Wadde ng’alowooza nti by’afumbye biwoomye nnyo 
and no one can cook like her, ## era teri n’omu asobola kufumba nga ye, 
she keeps apologizing to her friends ## agenda mu maaso n’okwetondera banne buli kaseera 
for not having done a better job ## mbu tafumbye bulungi nnyo 
so she can receive more compliments on her cooking skills. ## olwo banne basobole okwongera okutendereza obukugu bwe mu kufumba.
She graciously thanks everyone for the compliments ## Asiima nga bwe yeebaza abo bonna abasiimye by’afumbye 
and tells her guests that she learned everything from her mother, ## era n’abategeeza nti byonna yabiyigira ku nnyina,
who taught her how to cook. ## eyamuyigiriza okufumba.
A youth participates in a service project his group has planned: ## Omuvubuka omu yeetaba mu mulimu ogw’obuweereza obutegekeddwa ekibiina kye:
He works in unity with others ## Akolera wamu ne banne 
and values the contribution every member of the group is making. ## era assa nnyo ekitiibwa mu buli nmemba ky’akola okutwala obuweereza mu maaso.
He does very little ## Akola kitono nnyo 
but later tells others ## naye oluvannyuma ategeeza abalala 
how great he feels about what he has done. ## nga bw’ali  ow’ekitalo olw’ebyo by’akoze.
When the member of the group are reflecting on the experience ## Banne mu kibiina bwe babeera bafumiitiriza ku bye bayiseemu 
in order to see how they can do better next time, ## basobole okulaba engeri gye bayinza okukola okusingako awo omulundi oguddako, 
he keeps telling others "we did our best". ## yeyeengera bweyongezi kubagamba nti “twakola ekisoboka kyonna.”
Does the intention of the speaker or speakers ## Ekigendererwa ky’omwogezi oba aboogezi 
in each of the following situations appear to bc pure? ## mu mbeera zino eziweereddwa wammanga zirabika okubeera nga nongoofu? 
What are the consequences of the words spoken in each case? ## Biki ebiyinza okubeerawo nga biva ku bigambo ebyogeddwa mu buli mboozi?
A person says, "I will help promote indigenous crafts." ## Omuntu omu agamba nti, “Nja kuyambako okutumbula eby’emikono ebizaliraanwa.”  
She begins a business which buys the handcrafts of an indigenous group at a low price ## Atandika omulimu ogw’okusuubula ku bantu eby’emikono okuva ku kibiina ky’abantu abazaaliranwa ku nsimbi entono ddala 
and sells them to wealthy customers at a higher price. ## ate ye n’abiguza abagagga ku nsimbi ennyingi ddala. 
As a result, she becomes quite rich. ## Ekivaamu mu kukola bwatyo, ye agaggawala.
A student who is trying to get good grades from his teacher tells her, ## Omuyizi abeera agezaako okufuna obubonero obulungi okuva ku musomesa we amugamba nti, 
"I will volunteer for this service project because I like to help others." ## “Nja kukola obwannakyewa mu mulimu gw’obuweereza buno kubanga njagala okuyamba abalala”.
A young person noticing that children in his neighborhood ## Omuvubuka omu mu kitundu, oluvannyuma lw’okutegeera nti abaana ab’oku muliraano 
are left largely on their own ## balekebwa ttayo  
while their parents are at work, ## nga bazadde baabwe bali ku mirimu gyabwe,
speaks to them about his desire ## ayogerako ne bazadde baabwe nga bwe yandiyagadde 
to start a class for the children a few hours a week. ## okutandikawo ekibiina ky’abaana okumala essawa entonotono buli wiiki.
Someone comforts her friend who has failed a test by saying, ## Omuntu omu abudaabuda munne agudde ebigezo ng’amugamba nti,
"It is not the end of the world; ##  Eno si y’enkomerero y’ensi; 
don't give up, you will do better next time. ## toggwamu maanyi, ojja kukola bulungi omulundi oguddako”.
A group of junior youth notice that ## Ekibinja ky’abavubuka abato kizuula nti waliwo 
an elderly lady in the community is sick. ## nnamukadde omukazi omulwadde mu kitundu kyabwe. 
They buy her groceries and take them to her home. ## Bamugulira eby’okulya era ne babimutwalira awaka. 
They respectfully say a prayer for her healing ## Mu buwoombeefu ne bamusabira essaala eyokuwonyezebwa 
and ask if they can be of further help to her. ## era ne bamubuuza oba nga yali alina obuyambi obulala bwe yali yetaaga.
In order to get elected as the mayor, ## Olw’okwagala okulondebwa ku bwa mmeeya, 
a candidate speaks of how much she gives ## omu ku abo ab’eyesiimbyewo okuvuganya abuulira abalonzi ensimbi z’awaayo 
to different charities in the community. ## mu bibiina eby’enjawulo ebiyamba abantu mu kitundu kyabwe.

The last piece on the power of speech is read by Enidia. ## Ekitontome ekisembayo ekikwata ku maanyi ag’okwogera kyasomebwa Enidia.
Human speech can be the sword ## Ebigambo by’omuntu bisobola okubeera ekitala 
that separates truth from falsehood. ## ekyawula ekituufu ku bulimba.
It brings victory to the defenders of justice. ## Kuleeta obuwanguzi eri abalwanirizi b’obwenkanya.
Human speech can be the flame ## Ebigambo by’omuntu byandibeera omuliro 
that burns away the veil of ignorance. ## ogusenkenya olutimbe olw’obutamanya.
It burns away the veil of prejudice. ## Bisenkenya olutimbe olwa kyekuubira.
It burns away the veil of the greedy and jealous self. ## Bisenkenya olutimbe lw’abaluvu n’okwefaako okw’ensaalwa.	 
Human speech is the milk that nourishes the soul. ## Ebigambo by’omuntu ge mata agaliikiriza omwoyo.
It encourages high ideals and noble deeds. ## Bikubiriza ebirowoozo ebirungi n’ebikolwa ebyekitiibwa.
Human speech is the key that opens the heart. ## Ebigambo by’omuntu kisumuluzo ekiggula omutima.
It opens the heart to receive the light of truth. ## Kiggulawo omutima okufuna ekitangaala eky’amazima.
But, words touch the heart when they are spoken with love. ## Naye, ebigambo bisanyusa omutima bwe byogerwa n’okwagala.
They penetrate the soul when they are said with purity. ## Bisensera emmeeme bwe byogerwa n’ekigendererwa ekirungi. 
They inspire us only when they are uttered with humility. ## Bituluŋŋamya bwe bibeera nga byogeddwa n’obwetoowaze.
Enidia tells us that our words have power ## Enidia atugamba nti ebigambo byaffe bibeeramu amaanyi 
when they are spoken with humility, purity and love," says Maryam. ## bwe byogerwa n’obwetoowaze, obutukuvu, n’okwagala. 
We discussed some of this last time. ## Ebimu ku bino twabikubaganyaako ebirowoozo emabegako awo.
But don't words of hate and envy also have power? ## Naye ebigambo eby’obukyayi n’ensaalwa nabyo tebirina maanyi?
suggests Sohrab, ## Sohrab kwe kubuuza nti,
Think of how people are talked into hating each other ## Mulowooze ku ngeri abantu gye babakkirizisa okukyawagana 
and even to killing each other. ## okutuuka n’okuttiŋŋana.
Mr. Scott, who usually waits for the youth ## Mw. Scott, atera okulinda abavubuka 
to speak before he adds his ideas, ## ne boogera olwo naye n’alyoka aleta ebirowoozo bye, 
enters the conversation right away. ## ku luno yeegatta mu mbooze mbagirawo. 
What Sohrab has said is so important ## Sohrab ky’ayogedde kikulu nnyo 
that we should not skip over it too quickly. ## era tekisaanye kubuusibwa maaso mu bwangu. 
Maybe, even worse than the wars ## Oboolyawo, ekikyasinze ku ntalo 

humanity has fought throughout its history, ## abantu ze balwanye mu byafaayo byonna, 
are those episodes we call "genocides", ## bye biseera ebyaliwo bye tuyita “kittabantu”, 
during which one group of people with power ## nga mu kikolwa kino abantu abamu abaali mu buyinza 
decided to wipe out another group ## baasalawo okusaanyaawo abantu ab’oludda olulala 
because they stood in their way. ## kubanga baali beekiise mu kkubo lyabwe.
You have all heard of one such instance in the middle of the twentieth century — the holocaust. ## Mwenna mwakiwulirako mu makkati g’ekyasa eky’abiri - “ekinyoolankoto”. 
For a while, it seemed that the world had woken up ## Okumala akaseera, kyalabika ng’ensi yonna eyali ezuukuse 
and seen what had happened before its own very eyes ## n’eraba ekyali kituseewo mu maaso gaayo gennyini  
and that genocide would never be attempted again. ## era nti kittabantu kyali tekijja kuddamu nate.
But, unfortunately, the same horrors keep being repeated even today. ## Naye, ekyennaku, eby’entiissa bye bimu bikyaddibwamu n’olwaleero. 
Now what if want you to know is that ## Kaakano kyenjagala mutegeere kye kino nti 
this type of mass murder begins with words. ## ekittabantu eky’engeri ng’eno kitandika na bigambo. 
After all, it is not easy to hide the killing of thousands ## Weewaawo, si kyangu okukweka enkumi n’enkumi 
and even millions of people. ## oba obukadde n’obukadde obw’abantu abatirimbuddwa.
So those who intend to commit genocide begin ## Noolwekyo abo abaagala okuleetawo ekittabantu batandika  
by propagating a kind of talk among their own people. ## n’okusaasaanya enjogera ey’engeri mu bantu baabwe.
The group they hate is presented as evil ## Abo be bakyawa babooleka ng’ababi 
and a danger to the nation's interests or even to humanity. ## era ab’obulabe eri ebyettanirwa eggwanga oba eri abantu bonna.  
They are then referred to as less than human, ## Olwo babatwala okubeera abatalimu ak’obuntu, 
whose existence is not even worth considering. ## era nga n’okubeerawo kwabwe tekusaana kulowoozebwako.  
As this talk continues, ## Ebigambo nga bino bwe byeyongera, 
people's thinking becomes clouded ## endowooza z’abantu zitalagga 
and their conscience becomes numb. ## n’entegeera yaabwe ekkonziba. 
This gives the opportunity ## Kino kibawa omukisa 
to heap one act of cruelty after another ## okubinika ebikolwa eby’obukambwe kimu ku kimu  
on those they hate, one more severe than the previous one, ## ku abo be bakyawa, ekimu nga kya bulabe okusinga ekiwedde,
while others just watch ## ng’abalala bo batunula butunuzi  
or, if you wish, while others participate by keeping silent.' ## oba, kwe kugamba, ng’abalala bonna kusirika busirisi.
Mr. Scott is clearly filled with emotion. ## Mw. Scott alabika ng’emmeeme ejjudde ennyiike. 
The youth have seldom seen him like this. ## Nfunda ntono nnyo abavubuka ze bamulabyeko ng’ali bwati. 
In his excitement, he has even used a language ## Mu kukyamukirira kwe, atuuse n’okukozesa olulimi
that is a little difficult for them. ## olubazibuwaliddemu.
But they understand. ## Naye bategeera. 
After all, although they are young, ## Weewaawo, newaakubadde bakyali bato mu myaka, 
they are quite aware of the terrible things ## bategeera bulungi eby’entiisa 
that are going on in the world around them. ## ebigenda mu maaso mu nsi yonna.
There is a long silence and then Franco speaks quietly: ## Wabeerawo akasiriikiriro okumala ekiseera ekiwanuko olwo Franco n’alyoka ayogera mpola nti: 
But I find it so difficult. ## Naye kino nkisanze nga kizibu nnyo. 
Whenever I hear this kind of talk, ## Buli lwe mpulira ebigambo eby’ekika nga kino, 
I get so angry that I don't know what to say. ## nkwatibwa nnyo obusungu n’ekyokwogera ne kimbula. 
I just can't find the words. ## Ebigambo bimbulira ddala.
That is why," responds Mr. Scott, ## Mw. Scott n’addamu nti, “Eyo y’ensonga lwaki 
the piece written by Enidia is so significant. ## Enidia ky’awandiise kikulu nnyo. 
That is why we all have to develop the power of speech ## Eyo y’ensonga lwaki ffenna tulina okukuza amaanyi ag’okwogera 
and learn to use it to promote the right cause. ## era tuyige n’okugakozesa olw’ekigendererwa ekirungi.
 
When something nourishes us ## Ekintu bwe kituliikiriza
it gives us what we need to grow and develop. ## kituwa bye twetaaga okukula n’okukulaakulanya.

it makes us rich. it makes us weak. ## kitugaggawaza. kitunafuya.
A person who has high ideals is likely to ## Omuntu alina ebigendererwa ebikulu asuubirwa
want to become richer and richer. ## okwagala okweyongera okugaggawala ennyo.
want to rule over others. ## okwagala okufuga abalala.
speak and work for the principles of justice and unity. ## okwogera n’okukolerera emiramwa egy’obumu n’obwenkanya.
When our thinking becomes clouded ## Endowooza yaffe bw’ebikkwa n’olufu
our thoughts are no longer clear and rational. ## ebirowoozo byaffe bibeera tebikyategerekeka era nga tebiriimu makulu.
our head is in the clouds. ## omutwe gwaffe gubeera eyo mu bire.  
we think clearly. ## tubeera tulowooza bulungi.
Our conscience is the sense  ## Okutegeera kwaffe okw’omu nda ge magezi 
which helps us distinguish right from wrong. ## agatuyamba okwawula ekirungi ku kibi. 
Decide whether the following sentences are true or false. ## Salawo oba emboozi zino ntuufu [N] oba si ntuufu [S]. 

When our conscience becomes numb ## Entegeera yaffe bw’esannyalala
we tend to believe in false and outrageous statements made against others. ## tutera okukkiririza mu bigambo eby’obulimba era ebibeera byogeddwa ku balala. 
cruelty and injustice do not affect us.  obukambwe n’obutali bwenkanya bibeera tebitukwatako.  
we feel shame for our wrongdoings. ## tuswala olw’ebyonoono byaffe.
we speak up against hate and prejudice. ## tuvumirira obukyayi ne kyekubiira.

Decide which of the following we should do ## Salawo kiriwa ku bino ebikuweereddwa okukola wammanga kye tusaana okukola 
when we witness acts of cruelty and injustice ## bwe tulaba ebikolwa eby’obukambwe n’obutali bwenkanya 
committed towards an entire group of people: ## nga bituusibwa ku bantu ab’olulyo olumu:
We should remain silent and mind our own business. ## Tusaana tusirike era tukole ebyo ebitukwatako.
We should try to protect, to the best of our abilities, ## Tusana tugezaako, nga tukola kyonna ekisoboka, okulwanirira 
the victims of injustice. ## bannawalubwa ab’obutali bwenkanya.
 
We should speak up and make others aware ## Tusaana okubyogereko era n’okumanyisa abalala 
of the situation so they can also help. ## ku mbeera eriwo olwo nabo basobole okuyamba.  
We should tell the victims not to make angry ## Tusaana okutegeeza bannawalubwa obutanyiza                
those who are being cruel to them. ## abo ababakolako ebikolwa eby’obukambwe 
Mr. Scott helps the students think about ## Mw. Scott ayamba abayizi okulowooza 
the influence of words by asking them ## ku maanyi g’ebigambo ng’abasaba 
to complete the following exercises: ## okumaliriza ebibaweereddwa okukola bino wammanga:
Words affect us in different ways. ## Ebigambo bituteeka mu mbeera za njawulo. 
For example, when words that express prejudice are propagated, ## Eky’okulabirako, ebigambo ebiwagira kyekubiira bwe bisaasaana, 
the result is disunity and suspicion among people. ## ekivaamu kwe kweyawulayawulamu n’obuteesigaŋŋana mu bantu. 
But when words of love and fellowship are spread, ## Naye ebigambo eby’okwagalana n’okusseekimu bwe bibunyisibwa, 
the result is harmony and oneness. ## ekivaamu bwe bumu n’enkolagana.
Here are sentences expressing profound and beautiful thoughts. ## Zino z’emboozi ezoogera ku birowoozo eby’amagezi ennyo era ebirungi. 
Write below each the qualities and attitudes ## Wandiika wansi wa buli emu obubonero n’embeera   
that listening to them may create in us or eliminate from our hearts. ## ebiyingizibwa oba abisikulwa mu mitima gyaffe bwe tubiwuliriza.
The following list will be of help to you: ## Olukalala lw’ebigambo olukuweereddwa wammanga lujja kukuyamba:
sincerity, love, ## obwesimbu, okwagala, 
suspicion, trust, ## obuteesigaŋŋana, obwesigwa, 
sense of superiority, impatience, ## okweggulumiza, obutagumiikiriza,
joy, generosity,## essanyu, obugabi, 
fear, diligence, ## okutya, obunyiikivu, 
laziness, competition, ## obugayaavu, okuvuganya, 
jealousy, good will, ## obuggya, okwagaliza, 
selfless service, ## okuweereza obuteebalira,
hypocrisy, altruism, anger ## obunnanfuusi, okufaayo ku balala, obusungu.
In the garden of Thy heart plant naught but the rose of love. ## Mu lusuku lw’omutima Gwo tosimbamu kirala kyonna wabula ekimuli kya looza eky’okwagala
Creates:  Eliminates:  ## Kireetawo:	Kisaanyaawo:
Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart. ## Beeranga n’omutima omulongoofu, ogw’ekisa era omusanyufu
The world of humanity has two wings ## Ensi y’abantu erina ebiwaawaatiro bibiri
one is women and the other men. ## ekimu be bakazi, ekirala be basajja. 
Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. ## Okutuusa ng’ebiwaawaatiro byombi bikuze kyenkanyi, ekinyonyi tekiyinza kubuuka
 
Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, ## Toyogera kibi, bwotyo naawe ggwe oleme okukiwulira nga kikwogerwako, 
and magnify not the faults of others ## era tozimbulukusa bisobyo by’abalala 
that thine own faults may not appear great. ## bwebityo n’ebibyo bireme okulabika nga binene.
Guard against idleness and sloth, ## Mwekuume obwa ssemugayaavu n’obuganiriza, 
and cling unto that which profiteth mankind, ## era mwekwate ku ebyo ebiganyula abantu bonna, 
whether young or old, whether high or low.## ka babeere bato oba bakulu, ba bitiibwa oba abanyoomebwa.
Be generous in your days of plenty, ## Beeranga mugabi mu nnaku zo ez’obugagga, 
and be patient in the hour of loss. ## era beeranga mugumiikiriza mu ssaawa ey’okufiirwa. 
Ignorance is lack of knowledge. ## Obutamanya bwe butabeera na kumanya. 
The paragraph below shows ignorance about certain truths. ## Ekitundu kino wammanga kiraga obutamanya ku by’amazima ebimu. 
Read the paragraph ## Soma ekitundu kino, 
and then put the sentences below it in the right order ## era otereeze emboozi ezo ezikuweereddwa wammanga mu nsengeka entuufu 
to construct another paragraph that would respond to it. ## kikusobozese okuwandiika ekitundu ekirala ekyandibadde kikyanukula.
We are intelligent animals. ## Tuli nsolo ez’amagezi. 
We have never really left the jungle; ## Naye mu mazima tetuvangayo mu nsiko; 
every day, we have to fight in order to survive. ## buli lukya, tulina okulwana okusobola okubeerawo. 
But we have to learn to compete ## Naye tulina okuyiga okuvuganya 
and struggle in a civilized way. ## n’okusitaana mu ngeri eyobugunjufu. 
This is good for all of us. ##  Kino kirungi eri ffena. 
To compete in a civilized way, we need rules. ## Okuvuganya mu ngeri ey’obugunjifu, twetaaga ebiragiro. 
If the rules by which we play are fair, ## Singa ebiragiro by’omuzannyo ogw’obulamu bibeera bya bwenkanya, 
then the best people win. ## olwo abasinga okukazannya obulungi be bawangula. 
To make sure that we are civilized, ## Okukakasa nti tuli bagunjufu, 
we need laws that punish those who refuse to play by the rules. ## twetaaga amateeka agabonereza abo abagaana okugoberera ebiragiro by’omuzannyo. 
That is how civilization advances, ## Eyo y’engeri obugunjufu gye bukulaakulanamu, 
through what the strongest among us create and build. ## nga tuyita mu ebyo abasinga amaanyi mu ffe bye batondawo n’okuzimba.
When our higher nature controls the lower one, ## Embeera yaffe ey’omwoyo bw’efuga ey’obuntu, 
we learn to work together and cooperate. ## tuyiga okukolera awamu n’okukolagana.  
Selfless love, mercy, kindness, and justice are signs of our higher nature. ## Okwagala okuteebalira, okusaasira, ekisa n’obwenkanya bwe bubonero bw’embeera yaffe ey’omwoyo.
Acts of cruelty and injustice are expressions of our lower nature. ## Ebikolwa eby'ettima n’obutali bwenkanya kwoleka embeera zaffe ez’obwawansolo.
There are two natures of a human being: the spiritual and the material. ## Omuntu alina obutonde bwa mirundi ebiri: obwomwoyo n’obwomubiri.
Following the voice of our material nature ultimately leads to despair. ## Bwe tuwuliriza eddoboozi ly’omubiri gwaffe nkomerero litutwalira ddala mu kuzikirira
Deeds that reflect our spiritual nature bring us true joy. ## Ebikolwa ebyoleka embeera zaffe ez’omwoyo bituleetera essanyu eryannamaddala.
We use the power of our intelligence ## Tukozesa amaanyi ag’amagezi gaffe 
to promote the interests of the entire human race. ## okutumbula ebyo ebyettanirwa abantu olulyo lw’abantu lwonna.
This is how we build a civilization; ## Eno y’engeri gye tuzimbamu obugunjufu;
this is how we advance both materially and spiritually. ## eno y’engeri gye tukukulaakulanamu mu by’omubiri ne mu by’omwoyo.
We learn to avoid evil not because of the fear of punishment ## Tuyiga okwewala ekibi si lwa kutya ebibonerezo 
but because we are attracted to noble deeds. ## wabula olwokubeera nti tusikirizibwa ebikolwa eby'ekitiibwa.
Read the following passage several times: ## Soma emboozi eno wammanga emirundi egiwerako:
Good speech and truthfulness are, ## Okwogera okulungi era n’amazima,
in loftiness ofposition and rank, ## mu kifo ekigulumizibwa ne mu ddaala,
like unto the sun which hath risen ## bifaananako n’enjuba evuddeyo
from the horizon ofthe heaven of knowledge. ## okuva ku lukungirizzi lw’eggulu ly’okumanya.
Now, on the basis of what you have learned ## Kaakano, nga weesigama ku by’oyize
in the last three lessons, ## mu masomo asatu agayise,
write a passage about the power of speech: ## wandiika emboozi ekwata ku maanyi ag'okwogera:

Lau reads the following passage ## Lau asoma ekiwandiiko kino wammanga 
about the creative skills of the hand: ## mu bukugu bw’obuyiiya obw’omukono:
The gardener planted roses where weeds grew before. ## Omulimi yasimba ebimuli bya looza awaali ensiko okusooka.
I cut a small branch with two red flowers, ## Nnasala akatabi okwali ebimuli ebimyufu bibiri, 
and placed it in a vase. ## ne nkassa mu kasuwa.
The potter's hands moulded the vase out of clay. ## Emikono gy’omubumbi gyabumba akasuwa okuva mu bbumba.
The vase and the flowers are in harmonious embrace. ## Akasuwa n’ebimuli biri mu nteeko y’okukkaannya.
The farmer nourishes me with his hands. ## Omulimi andiisa n’emikono gye.
He sows the seeds, waters the plants, protects them. ## Asiga ensigo, n’afukirira ebimera, n’abikuuma
We all receive the harvest of his labors. ## Ffena tugabana ku makungula g’entuuyo ze.
The painter sees the bird in gracious flight, ## Omusiizi wa langi alaba ekinyonyi ekibuukira mu mirembe,
marvels at the smile of the child, ## yewunya okumwenya kw’omwana
observes the bustle of the city, ## yetegereza okutayira okuli mu kibuga.
With a few strokes of the brush, she captures them. ## N’okuweeweeta okutonotono okwa bbulaasi, abisiiga mu kifaananyi.
She shows me subtleties ## Andaga eby’omu nda ennyo 
I, on my own, would not have seen. ## nze, ku lwange, bye ssandirabye.
Skilful hands create. ## Emikono emikugu gitonda. 

Did learning to use our hands ## Okuyiga okukozesa emikono gyaffe 
not help us become the human beings we are today? ## si kwekwatuyamba okufuuka abantu nga bwe tuli olwaleero?
In our biology class, ## Mu ssomo lyaffe erikwata ku biramu, 
we were told that the use of the thumb ## twasomesebwa nti okukozesa ekinkumu kyali 
was most important in our evolution. ## kya mugaso nnyo mu nkyukakyuka yaffe.
"We were also told that we are tool makers", adds Amina. ## Amina n’agattako nti, “Nate twagambibwa nti tuli baweesi ba bintu ebyeyambisibwa. 
It was our ability to make tools ## Bwali busobozi bwaffe okukola ebikozesebwa 
that allowed our species to create civilization, ## obwayamba embala yaffe ey’abantu okuleetawo obugunjufu.
From the stone axe to the computer! ## Okuva ku mbazzi ey’ejjinja okutuuka ku kyuma kikalimagezi!
exclaims Peter. ## Peter ye yeewuunya, era n’agamba nti,
Did the biology book you studied tell you that ##  Ekitabo ekikwata ku biramu kye wasoma kyakugamba nti 
the human being made the tools, ## omuntu ye yakola ebikozesebwa,  
or that tools made the human being? ## oba nti ebikozesebwa bye byakola omuntu?
asks Mr. Scott humorously. ## Mw. Scott olwo n’abuuza ng’asaagasaaga nti,
"To tell you the truth," answers Maryam, ## Maryam n’addamu nti, “Nga mbabuulira amazima, 
it sounded like the tools have made us who we are ## kyawulikise ng’ekitegeeza nti ebikozesebwa bye bitufudde kye tuli.
"How can that be?" asks Kianga. ## Kianga kwe kubuuza nti, “Ekyo kisoboka kitya?” 
"Well, it sounded like it was the tools that ## Kale kyawulikika ng’ekitegeeza nti 
developed the brain of the human species, ## byali bikozesebwa ebyaleetera obwongo bw’omuntu okukulaakulana. 
explains Marvam. ## Maryam n’annyonnyola nti,
Tools taught us how to behave. ## Ebikozesebwa byatuyigiriza engeri ey’okweyisaamu, 
how to relate to one another, ## engeri y’okukolagana ne bannaffe, 
and even how to think. ## era n’okulowooza. 
The fact that it was the human being ## Omuntu okubeera nga ye 
who invented the tools was hardly discussed. ## yavumbula ebikozesebwa tekyasiinyizibwako.
I am sorry to say so, ## Munansonyiwa okwogera kino, 
but that doesn't make much sense, ## naye ebyo tebitegeerekeka bulungi. 
How could tools teach us how to think? ## Ebikozesebwa biyinza bitya okutusomesa okulowooza?
Don't people learn certain ways of thinking from the television? ## Abantu tebayiga embeera ezimu ez’okulowooza okuva ku terefaayina?
suggests Alexander. ## Alexander n’aleeta ekirowoozo,
"Is the television a tool?" asks Milly. ## Milly ye n’abuuza nti, “Terefaayina nakyo kya kukozesa?” 
"I think so; " replies Alexander. ## Alexander n’addamu nti, “Bwentyo bwe ndowooza;
it is a tool for communication, ## ekozesebwa mu by’empuliziganya”.
But we don't really learn from the television. ##  Naye mu butuufu tetuyigira ku terefaayiina. 
People make the programs and act in them. ## Abantu bakola entekateeka ne babeera ne bye bakoleramu. 
We learn from them," says Sateesh. ## Sateesh n’agamba nti, Ne tuyiga ku bo.” 
Mr. Scott who is enjoying the exchange of ideas enters the conversation: ## Mw. Scott eyali anyumirwa okukubaganya ebirowoozo kuno naye yeenyigira mu mboozi n’agamba nti:
I hope you remember this last point Sateesh has made. ## Nsuubira mujjukira Sateesh byasembyeyo okwogerako.
When you decide to use any tool, ## Bw’osalawo okweyambisa ekikozesebwa kyonna, 
you should understand clearly what you are doing. ## osaana otegeere bulungi ky’okola. 
For example, do you turn on the television just to kill time ## Okugeza, telefaayina ogitega olw’okumalirako obudde 
or is it because you know what it is you want to watch and why? ## oba olw’okubeera nti omanyi ekyo ky’oyagala okulaba era lwaki?
"What about wanting to be entertained?" asks Amina. ## Amina n’abuuza nti, “Ate okwagala okusanyusibwa?”
There is nothing wrong with entertainment, ## Tewali kikyamu mu kwagala okusanyusibwa. 
But you should choose the programs you watch carefully. ## Naye osaana okulonda ebiragabwa ku yo n’obwegendereza. 
You should be aware of the type of message they give. ## Osaana okumanya ekika ky’obubaka bwe ziwa.  
And in any case, you should not allow yourselves ## Ate era mu buli mbeera zonna, temusaana kukkiriza 
to become too much influenced by what you see. ## kukyusibwa nnyo ebyo bye mulaba.
So if I notice that some of you are thinking ## Kale nno bwe ndaba ng’abamu ku mmwe mulowooza 
and acting like some character in a television program, ## era ne mweyisa ng’abantu abamu abalabibwa mu biragibwa ku terefaayiina, 
I have cause to be worried. ## kindeetera okweraliikirira.
Then I can say the tool you chose to entertain you ## Olwo nsobola okugamba nti ekyeyambisibwa kyewalonda okukusanyusa 
is shaping you, is making you. ## kitandise okukukyusa endowooza, kikutaddemu emize. 
And since the television itself is not doing anything to you, ##  Era olwokubeera nga terefaayina yo kubwayo terina kyekukyuseeko, 
I would have to think that you are being manipulated by people who make the shows. ## mbeera nnina okulowooza nti osendebwasendebwa abantu abateekateeka endaga zino. 
When I think that, ## Bwe ndowooza ku kino, 
I feel a combination of sadness, helplessness and anger. ## ntabulwatabulwa olw’ennaku, obutabaako ne kye nnyinza kukolawo, n’obusungu. 
But things do not have to be that way. ## Naye ebintu tebirina kubeera bwe bityo. 
You can learn to be the masters of the tools you use, not their slaves. ## Musobola okuyiga okubeera abalabirizi b’ebikozesebwa bye mukozesa, so si kubeera baddu baabyo.

"The vase and the flowers are in harmonious embrace" means ## “Akasuwa n’ebimuli okubeera mu nteeko ey’okukkaanya”, kitegeeza
the vase and the flowers are hugging each other. ## akasuwa n’ebimuli byegudde mu kifuba. 
there is perfect balance between the flowers and the vase. ## akasuwa n’ebimuli byetebenkezza bulungi.  
the flowers are just thrown into the vase. ## ebimuli bimaze gasuulibwa mu kasuwa.
The "bustle of the city" refers to ## “Okutayira okuli mu kibuga”, kitegeeza
constant activity in the city. ## okubeyuka okitasalako mu kibuga.  
peace in the city. ## emirembe mu kibuga.
tall buildings of the city. ## ebizimbe ebiwanvu mu kibuga.
"To see subtleties" is to observe ## "Okulaba eby'omu nda ennyo”, kubeera kwetegereza
fine details that are not obvious. ## kalonda yenna omungi atali mwangu kulaba.
those parts that are obvious to everyone. ## ebitundu ebyo buli omu by’asobola okulaba.
things that are big and loud. ## ebintu ebinene era amaaso kwe gatuukira.
"To be manipulated" is ## “Okusendesendebwa”, kwe
to receive advice from someone. ## kufuna amagezi okuva ku muntu omu. 
to be entertained by others. ## kusanyusibwa abalala
to be controlled without being aware of it. ## kutambulira ku ntoli z’omulala nga tokimanyi
We use different tools to do certain things with our hands. ## Tukozesa ebyeyambisibwa ebyenjawulo okukola ebintu ebitali bimu n’emikono gyaffe. 
Decide what tools the following people use: ## Salawo bikozesebwa ki abantu bano wammanga bye bakozesa:
A painter uses ## Omusiizi wa langi akozesa
A potter uses ## Omubuumbi akozesa
A writer uses ## Omuwandiisi akozesa
A tailor uses ## Omutunzi w’engoye akozesa
A gardener uses ## Omulimi akozesa
A dentist uses ## Omusawo w’amannyo akozesa
A baker uses ## Omufumbi w’emigaati akozesa
A carpenter uses ## Omubazzi akozesa
 
Skilful hands create. ## Emikono emikugu gitonda.
Decide whether the following statements are true or false: ## Salawo oba emboozi zino ntuufu (N) oba si ntuufu (S)  
Those who have skilful hands practice often. ## Abo abalina emikono emikugu beegezaamu enfunda nnyingi. 
Some people are born with skilful hands. ## Abantu abamu obukugu obw’emikono bazaalibwa nabwo.
Those who are good with their hands are not good with their brain. ## Abo abakozesa obulungi emikono gyabwe tebabeera balungi mu bwongo bwabwe.
Those who have skilful hands do not need to concentrate on what they do. ## Abo abalina emikono emikugu tebeetaaga kussa nnyo mulaka ku bye bakola.
 
Mr. Scott asks the students to do the following exercises: ## Mw. Scott alagira abayizi okukola eby’okwegezaamu bino wammanga:
Although nowadays machines do much of what needs to be done, ## Newaakubadde ensangi zino ebyuma bikozesebwa bingi ku ku ebyo ebyetaagisa okukolebwa, 
we should not forget the value of skilful hands. ## tetusaana kwerabira bukulu bwa mikono emikugu. 
Decide whether the statements below are true or false: ## Salawo oba emboozi zino wammanga ntuufu [N] oba si ntuufu [S].
Children do not need to learn writing by hand ## Abaana tebeetaaga kuyiga kuwandiika na mikono gyabwe 
since they can use the computer to write. ## kubanga basobola okukozesa kompyuta okuwandiika. 
Learning to write by hand is important ## Okuyiga okuwandiika n’emikono kya mugaso 
and should be taught in every school. ## era kisaana okusomesebwa mu buli ssomero.
Beautiful handwriting is a form of art. ## Okuwandiika obulungi nabwo bukugu bwanjawulo.
We no longer need to cook with fresh vegetables and meat, ## Tetukyetaaga kufumba nnyama n’enva endiirwa 
since we can buy ready-made and canned food. ## kubanga tusobola okugula emmere enfumbe n’eyo ey’omu mu mikebe.
The work of a tailor is obsolete ## Omulimu gw’omutunzi w’ekyalaani tegukyetaagisa 
since factories can produce garments on a mass scale. ## kubanga amakolero gayinza okufulumya engoye mu bungi mu kiseera ekitono.
The human soul craves to create beautiful things by hand. ## Omwoyo gw’omuntu guyaayaana okukozesa emikono okuyiiya ebintu ebirungi.
People always value things ## Abantu bulijjo batwala ebintu 
that are made individually by someone's hand. ## ebikoleddwa emikono gy’omuntu kinoomu nga bya muwendo.
A skilful painter captures subtleties in the pieces he or she creates. ## Omusiizi w’ebifaananyi omukungu aggyayo buli kiri munda ekikwata ku ekyo ky’asiiga.
Below is a copy of a painting by Vincent van Gogh. ## Wammanga kye kifaananyi ekisiige ekyakkopebwa ku kya Vincent Van Gogh. 
Read the sentences that follow, ## Soma emboozi zino ezikuweereddwa wammanga, 
which are inspired by what a philosopher once wrote about the painting: ## nga ziva ku bigambo ebiruŋŋamya ebyawandiikibwa omufirosoofa omu ku kisiige ekyo. 
The dark openings of the worn insides of the shoes ## Ebitulituli ebikwafu ebirabika munda ebiseetedde munda w’engatto 
reveal the steps taken by one who worked long and hard. ## biraga obungi bw’ebigere  ebyatambulwa omuntu oyo eyakolanga n’amaannyi okumala ebbanga eddene.
In the hard rough heaviness of the shoes can be seen the firmness of the steps taken. ## Mu nzigotta z’engatto enkuubuufu era enzito mweyolekeramu amaanyi g’ebigere agaakozesebwanga okuzitambuliramu.
On the leather lie the dampness and richness of the soil. ## Ku ddiba lyayo kutuddeko ettaka erilabika nga bbisi sate nga ggimu.
Under the soles slides the loneliness of the path leading home ## Ku ssoole z’engatto kulabikako obuseerezi bw’ekiwuubaalo ky’ekkubo eridda eka 
after a hard day of work in the field. ## oluvannyuma lw’okukola ennyo olunaku olulamba mu nnimiro.
In the shoes vibrate the silent call of the earth ## Mu ngatto muwulirwamu okukankana okw’akasirise okukowoola kw’ettaka 
and its quiet gift of the ripening grain. ## era n’ekirabo kyalyo eky’ekimpoowooze eky’eŋŋano ezituuse okukungulwa.
From the shoes radiate uncomplaining anxiety as to the certainty of bread ## Mu ngatto mwakiramu okukulungutana okutaliimu kwemuluggunya okulaga okubuusabuusa oba nga eky’okulya kinaafunika 
and the wordless joy of having once more withstood the pangs of hunger. ## era n’essanyu eritayogerekeka ery’okuddamu nate okugumira okulumwa enjala.
Amina reads the piece she has written ## Amina asoma ekitontome ky’awandiise 
inspired by what she has learnt from Mr. Scott: ## ng’aluŋŋamizibwa ebyo by’ayize ku Mw. Scott.
With generous hands she gives, ## N’emikono emigabi agaba,
With a grateful heart he receives. ## N’omutima ogusiima afuna.
With generous hands he gives, ## N’emikono emigabi agaba
With a grateful heart she receives. ## N’omutima ogusiima afuna.
The hand of the oppressor takes. ## Omukono gw’oyo anyigiriza gutwala.
It wields power with the sword ## Gutabaaza obuyinza n’ekitala.
The hand of the generous gives. ## Omukono gw’omugabi gugaba.
It is moved by the power of love. ## Gusikirizibwa amaanyi ag’okwagala.
Everyone needs a helping hand: ## Buli omu yeetaga omukono omuyambi.
The child, to grow, The fallen, to rise, ## Omwana, okukula, Agudde, okusituka,
The oppressed, to find freedom, The lost, to find the path. ## Annyigirizibwa, okufuna eddembe, Abuze, okuzuula ekkubo.
Even the strong need a helping hand. ## N’abo ab’amaanyi beetaaga omukono omuyambi. 
In moments of weakness we can all falter. ## Mu biseera eby’obunafu ffenna tusobola okuwenyera.
Thus we raise our suppliant hands to ask for strength. ## Noolwekyo tuwanika emikono gyaffe mu kwegayirira nga tusaba amaanyi.
We give and take. ## Tugaba era ne tufuna.
Is that what you are saying, Amina?" asks Sohrab. ## Sohrab abuuza nti, “ Ekyo ky’ogamba, Amina?”
Yes, but it is not that simple. ## Yee, naye nno si kyangu nga bw’olowooza.
Some people only want to take!" answers Amina. ## Amina n’addamu nti, “ Abantu abamu baagala kuweebwa buweebwa!” 
Do you mean some people want to have more and more money ## Ky’otegeeza abantu abamu baagala batuume obutitimbe n’obutitimbe bwa ssente
and don't share their riches with others?" remarks Kianga. ## Kianga kwe kuleeta ekirowoozo nti, “ ate ne batagabanako ku bugagga bwabwe n‘abalala?”
It is not only about money. ## Tekiri ku nsimbi zokka. 
For example, we cannot expect that our friends always help us ## Ekyokulabirako, tetusobola kusuubira nti bannaffe banaatuyambanga bulijjo 
when we don't do anything for them, ## nga ffe tetulina kye tubakolera
Actually, our life depends on giving and receiving. ## Mu butuufu, obulamu bwaffe bwesigamye ku kugaba n’okuweebwa. 
We would never be able to survive if others did not help us; ## Tetwandisobodde n’akamu kubeerawo singa abalala tebatuyumba; 
we must also help others the best we can, ## naffe tuteekwa okuyamba abalala nga bwe tusobola.
Some people give because they are forced, ## Abantu abamu bagaba kubanga bakakibwa, 
or they receive and complain about it. ## oba bafuna ate ne beemulugunya ku bibaweereddwa. 
What Amina is saying is that we should be generous in giving ## Amina ky’agamba kiri nti, tusaana okubeera ab’ekisa mu kugaba 
and thankful when we receive, ## era n’okusiima nga tuweereddwa.
But who is the oppressor? 
Is someone who never gives  ## Naye oyo anyigiriza y’ani? Omuntu oyo atagaba 
and always takes from others an oppressor? ## era ye bulijjo n’abeera nga atwala butwazi eby’abalala y’oyo anyigiriza?
Mr. Scott, who has been listening keenly to the discussion, ## Mw. Scott, obwedda abadde awuliriza ebikubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo n’obwegendereza, 
speaks at this point: ## wano w’ayingirira mu mboozi n’agamba nti: 
Before we answer this question we should remember that, ## Nga tetunnaddamu kibuuzo kino tusaanye tujjukire nti, 
when we give and receive, ## bwe tugaba era ne tuweebwa,
we are not entering into some kind of negotiation. ## tetubeera mu kulamuziganya okw’engeri emu oba endala. 
For example, two friends who truly love each other ## Ekyokulabirako, aboomukwano ababiri nga baagalanira ddala 
do not calculate how much each of them does for the other. ## tebabalirira buli omu ky’akolera munne.
Generosity means to give without expecting anything in return. ## Obugabi kitegeeza okuwaayo nga tetusuubira kuddizibwa kintu kyonna. 
It also means not to be so proud as to refuse ## Ate era tekitegeeza obutabeera wa ggume n’okutuuka n’okugaana 
receiving what others offer out of love and kindness. ## ebyo ebikuweebwa abalala mu mukwano n’ekisa. 
This is not a negotiation or a contract. ## Kuno si kulamuziganya oba ndagaano. 
When all, rich or poor, give of their material possessions, ## Abantu bonna, abagagga oba abaavu, bwe bagaba ku bugagga bwabwe, 
talents, time and resources for the well-being of friends ## ebitone byabwe, obudde n’ebyobugagga ebirala ku lw’obulungi bwa mikwano gyabwe  
and family as well as their community, ## n’abo ab’omu nju zaabwe ssaako n’abantu bonna ab’omu kitundu, 
then oppression begins to disappear. ## olwo okunyigirizibwa kutandika okuggwawo.
When we become occupied only with our own comfort, wealth and power, ## Bwe twemalira mu kwenoonyeza ffeka essanyu, obugagga n’obuyinza,
then we begin to walk in the ways of the oppressor, ## olwo tutandika okutambulira mu buufu bw’oyo anyigiriza,  
wanting more and more for ourselves ## nga twongera okwagala ebintu ebingi ku lwaffe ffekka 
and denying others even that which is their right. ## ne tutuuka n’okwekomya ebyo ebyandibadde eby’abalala.
But we didn't answer Franco's question: ## Naye tetuzeemu kibuuzo kya Franco:
Who is an oppressor?" asks Peter. ## Pater kwe kugamba nti, “ Oyo anyigiriza y’ani?”.

You are right," says Mr. Scott. ## Mw. Scott n’agamba nti, “Oli mutuufu.
We haven't answered Franco directly, ## Ekibuuzo kya Franco tetukizzeemu butereevu,
because we should be careful ## kubanga tusaana okubeera abeegendereza 
not to go around calling this person and that person an oppressor. ## ne tutamala gagenda nga tusonga ennwe mu muntu ono nga tumuyita anyigiriza. 
What we can and, in fact, should do is ## Kye tusobola era, mu butuufu, kye tuusaana okukola kwe
to understand the causes of oppression. ##  kutegeera ebyo ebireetawo okunyigiriza abalala. 
For example, greed is a cause of oppression. ## Ekyokulabirako, omulugube kye kimu ku ebyo ebireeta okunyigiriza abalala. 
Look around you, and you will see ## Weetegeereze abantu abakwetooloodde, era ojja kulaba 
how the forces of greed are making a few richer and richer ## engeri amaanyi g’omulugube gye gaviiriddeko abantu ab’olubatu okwongera okugaggawala ennyo 
while so many live in poverty. ## ate ng’abalala abasinga obungi baavu lunkuppe.
Another cause of oppression is fanaticism. ## Ekirala ekireseewo okunyigirizibwa bwe bwannalukalala. 
The belief that one's ideas are always right ## Enzikiriza nti ebirowoozo by’omuntu omu bulijjo bye bibeera ebituufu 
and therefore giving oneself the right ## era noolwekyo okwewa ebbeetu 
to impose them on others causes oppression. ## okubikakaatika ku balala kireetawo okunyigiriza.
That is amazing. ## Kino ekirowoozo kirungi. 
I had never put greed and fanaticism together with oppression, ## Sirowoozangako nti omulugube n’obwannalukalala by’ebimu ku ebyo bireetawo okunyigirizibwa.
Mr. Scott's face is lit with one of his typical smiles; ## Mw. Scott amwenyaamu nga bulijjo; 
he ends the conversation with this advice: ## era afundikira emboozi eno n’okuleetawo ebirowoozo bino:
I hope that as you grow up you will set high goals for yourselves, ## Nsuubira nti nga bwe mugenda mukula, mujja kubeera n’ebiruubirirwa ebinene,
but without being greedy. ##  naye nga temufuuse baamulugube.
Otherwise you will live a life of discontent. ## Bwe kitabeera bwekityo, obulamu tebujja kubanyumira. 
I also hope that you will stand for noble ideas, ## Era nsuubira nti mujja kulwanirira ebirowoozo eby’ekitiibwa, 
but without fanaticism which makes one ignorant of the truth in the end. ## wabula nga temuli bya bwannalukalala obufuula omuntu obutamanya mazima ku nkomerero.
 
Someone with a grateful heart ## Omuntu ow'omutima ogusiima
complains all the time. ## buli kaseera aba yeemulugunya.
sees everything that is wrong in life. ## alaba buli kintu ekibeera ekibi mu bulamu.
sees and appreciates every good thing in life and is thankful for it. ## alaba era n’asiima buli kintu ekibeera ekirungi mu bulamu era n’akisiima.
"To falter in a moment of weakness" is to ## “Okwesittala mu kaseera ak'obunafu” ke
lose one's direction and go off on the wrong path. ## kuva ku mulamwa n’okyama mu kkubo enkyamu. 
show strength. ## kulaga amaanyi.
find faults with others. ## kuzuula ensobi z’abalala.

"To raise our suppliant hands" means ## "Okuyimusa emikono gyaffe mu kwegayirira”, kitegeeza
to lift our hands in order to take something. ## okuyimusa emikono gyaffe tusobole okubaako ne kye tuwanula.
to raise our hands in humility towards the higher realm. ## okuyimusa emikono gyaffe n’obwetoowaze eri obwakabaka obwa waggulu.  
to raise our hands together. ## okuwanikira awamu emikono gyaffe.
In a negotiation, 
two or more sides express their positions, ## Mu kulamuzaganya, 
and each side tries as much as possible ## enjuyi biri oba n’okusingawo ziraga we ziggwa, era buli luuyi lugezaako nnyo
to get the others to agree with its position. ## nga bwe lusobola okukkirizisa abalala okukkiriza endowooza yaalwo. 
Mark the situations below in which ## Teeka akasaale ku mbeera zino wammanga 
you think it would be correct to negotiate: ## z’olowooza nti kyandibadde kituufu okulamuzaganya:
A group discussing possible solutions to a problem. ## Ekibinja ky’abantu ekiri mu kukubaganya ebirowoozo ku ngeri enyangu ey’okugonjoola ekizibu ekimu.
A mother and father discussing the education of their children. ## Taata ne Maama abali mu kukubaganya ebirowoozo ku by’okusoma kw’abaana baabwe.

how best to carry out a service project. ## ku ngeri entuufu gye banaatambuzaamu omulimu gw’obuweereza.
A person buying a piece of property. ## Omuntu alina eky’obugagga ky’agula.
The members of a family consulting ## Abantu ab’omu maka agamu nga bakubaganya ebirowoozo 
about how each can best contribute to the family's well-being. ## ku ngeri buli omu gy’ayinza okwenyigira mu kukola ky’asobola ku lw’obulungi bwago.
Contentment is a quality of the human heart ## Okumatira kye kimu ku mbeera y’omutima gw’omuntu 
which helps us feel joy and satisfaction in life. ## etuyamba okufuna essanyu n’obumativu mu bulamu. 
Decide which of the following are a sign of contentment. ## Salawo buki ku bubonero buno obukuweereddwa wammanga obulaga okumatira. 
Mark them. ## Biteekeko akayini.

Feeling joy in what we are able ## Okusanyukira ebyo bye tusobodde 
to accomplish through God's confirmations. ## okutuukiriza nga tuyita mu kukakasibwa kwa Katonda.
Being satisfied with the results of our half-hearted efforts. ## Okubeera abamativu ku bivudde mu ebyo bye tutataddeko ennyo omwoyo.
Being indifferent to injustice. ## Obuteefiirayo ku butali bwenkanya.
Feeling sadness about all the things ## Okunakuwala olw’ebyo byonna 
that we have not been able to accomplish. ## bye tutasobodde kutuukirizza.
Accepting that we cannot control everything. ## Okukkiriza nti tetusobola kufuga buli kimu.
 
Mr. Scott asks the students to do the following exercises: ## Mw. Scott asaba abayizi okukola ebibaweereddwa bino wammanga:
Often those who are generous ## Enfunda nnyingi abantu abo ababeera abagabi 
and give of their time, talents and energy to help others ## era ne bawaayo obudde bwabwe, ebitone byabwe n’amaanyi gaabwe okuyamba abalala  
are the ones who grow the most. ## be basinga okukulaakulana ennyo.

Fanaticism is sometimes confused with devotion to a just cause ## Obwannalukalala oluusi butabulwatabulwa n’okwemalira ku kigendererwa ekirungi  
or standing for principles and noble ideals. ## oba okuwagira amateeka n’ebirowoozo ebirungi. 
As a result, a person may wrongly be called a "fanatic". ## Ekiva mu ebyo, omuntu ayinza okuyitibwa “Nnalukalala” mu bukyamu. 
Which of the following persons do you consider a fanatic? ## Ku bantu bano abakuweereddwa aluwa gw’otwala okubeera nnalukalala?

Weeks have passed since we entered Ian Scott's classroom ## Wiiki nga ziizo ziyiseewo okuva lwe tweyunga ku kibiina kya Mw. Ian Scott 
hearing one of the students read a series of short sentences about the sense of sight. ## ne tuwuliriza omu ku bayizi ng’asoma emboozi ennyimpimpi eziwerako nga zikwata ku maanyi g’okulaba. 
By carrying out similar exercises week after week, ## Mu kukola ebyo ebyatuweebwanga ebyali bifaanagana okuva ku wiiki emu okutuuka ku ndala, 
the group has thought profoundly about the powers of the human spirit. ## ekibinja kifunye kirowoozezza nnyo ku bikwata ku maanyi ag’omwoyo gw’omuntu. 
Today everyone feels that time passed too fast ## Leero buli omu awulira muli nti ekiseera kyanguye nnyo okuyitawo 
and the end of the course came too soon. ## era nti n’olusoma lutuuse mangu ku nkomerero yaalwo.
Quite a few minutes before the class is to begin, ## Ng’eddakiika ntonotono ezibulayo ekibiina kitandike, 
everyone is already seated, quiet with anticipation. ## buli omu amaze okutuula, mu kasirise nga buli omu ali mu kwesuunga. 
Mr. Scott enters, greets the group and says: ## Mw. Scott ayingira, alamusa abayizi era n’agamba nti, 
The human body is alive with the life of the animal kingdom. ## Omubiri gw’omuntu mulamu mu bulamu obw’obwakabaka bwawansolo. 
But that life cannot be compared to the life of the soul. ## Naye obulamu obwo tebuyinza kugeraageranyizibwa na bulamu obw’omwoyo. 
The body serves as a temple to the spirit ## Omubiri gukola nga yeekaalu y’omwoyo 
and the spirit brings to it a new life. ## era omwoyo ne guguteekamu obulamu obuggya. 
It breathes into it greater and greater powers. ## Omwoyo gufuuwa mu mubiri amaanyi agagenda geeyongera.  
Your last assignment is to work together ## Omulimu gwammwe ogusembayo kwe kukolera awamu 
and write a series of sentences about these powers. ## era muwandiike emboozi eziwerako ezikwata ku maanyi gano.
Remember! Write simply,  ## Mujjukire!  Muwandiike ebyangu okutegeera, 
even as your thoughts are profound. ## wadde nga ebirowoozo byammwe bya munda nnyo. 

He then walks to the door, ## Olwo nno n’alyoka atambula okwolekera omulyago, 
but before leaving the room, ## naye nga tannafuluma ekibiina,
he turns his head, smiles and says: ## akyusa omutwe gwe, amwenyaamu era n’abagamba nti: 
"It was a joy and an honor to work with you." ## “Libadde ssanyu lingi nnyo era kya kitiibwa okukolera awamu nammwe.” 
The group is now on its own. ## Ekibiina kati kiri ku lwakyo. 
This is what it writes: ## Bino bye bawandiika:
We stand together as friends. ## Tuyimirira wamu ng’abeemikwano.
We stand firm and do not falter. ## Tuyimirira nga tuli banywevu abatasagasagana.
