Embwa Y'ekatwe
A Chained Dog
Erabika
yaggwa
dalu
eruma,
tawuni
ye
katwe
ya
ntama
nze,
agenda
yo
gwerumma...
It
is
too
late
at
night
to
be
outside,
you
see,
I
am
a
resident
of
Katwe;
you
should
go
to
bed...
Embwa
yomugagga
gyeyagirundira.
The
dog
of
the
rich
man
is
the
one
that
bit
you.

It
is
too
late
at
night
to
be
outside,
you
see,
I
am
a
resident
of
Katwe;
you
should
go
to
bed
darling,
the
dog
of
the
rich
man
is
the
one
that
bit
you.
Waliyo
omusajja
ekatwe
Samanya,
yali
mugagga
alina
nnyo
esimbi,
yasimba
amaka
kyokomya
amaaso,
no
mukyala
omuto
ngo
mukuumi,
There
was
a
man
in
Katwe
called
Samanya,
he
was
a
rich
man
with
a
lot
of
money,
he
built
a
house
that
would
make
your
eyes
pop
out,
and
a
young
wife
as
beautiful
as
a
doll,
Yalina
buli
kimu
maka
kirinji
nga
bakyala
abakyusa
buli
kadde,
nga
talina
kyeyegomba
maama
nga
ddula
no
kuddula
sebo,
She
had
everything
in
the
house
every
month
like
the
wealthy
women
who
change
their
clothes
every
day,
she
had
no
problem
with
her
mother
because
she
was
always
sending
her
things,
Nga
wadde
yali
omugagga
bungi
nnyo,
Even
though
he
was
very
rich,
Yegomba
ewaka
obako
ne
mbwa
ye,
yagula
akabwa
nakalunda
naye
nga
takata
kuda
walala,
She
had
to
share
with
the
dog
at
home,
he
bought
her
a
very
big
dog
but
it
could
not
go
outside,
Kati
yakula
yagyita
naye
ate
etabuse,
yadde
mukama
wayo
yamukye,
eruma
buli
agyiyise
mumaaso,
Now
it
had
grown
and
he
tied
it
up,
even
though
its
master
had
abandoned
it,
it
chased
everyone
who
passed
by
it,
Toyitira
ekatwe
oba
nkulimba...
Don't
provoke
a
chained
dog
or
else
you
will
regret
it...
Samanya
lumu
yagyisumulula,
agyiteko
ewaka
nayo
mbu
yetaye,
bwe
yagyita
yagoba
omukyala
nemuluma
omutwe
na
ma
gulu,
omukyala
yakuba
omulanga
era
omwami
nagya
amutase,
emulumye
olubuto
ne
mumaaso,
aliko
kikuba
mukono.
Samanya
once
went
on
a
business
trip,
he
left
with
it
at
home
but
it
is
said
it
got
lost,
when
he
returned
he
beat
his
wife
on
the
head
and
in
the
stomach,
the
wife
reported
him
and
her
husband
came
and
divorced
her,
he
kicked
her
in
the
stomach
and
in
the
face,
there
was
a
commotion
of
people
chasing
each
other.
Omusajja
yakuba
embwa
omuggo,
embwa
ne
buuka
geti
nga
ekamye,
yasibira
mudala
gwawali
ekatwe
neluma
buli
aliwo
ohh.
The
man
hit
the
dog
on
the
head,
the
dog
jumped
up
barking,
it
ran
into
the
forest
nearby
and
bit
everyone
it
found
there.
Abantu
bayiyizayo
enkola
gyebasobolera
okuyita
kweno
embwa
naye
ate
banakuwavu
bambi
enkola
mbu
yakabi
nyo
era
ekoya,
oyambala
kabuuti
ne
sepewo
ovulo
sokisi
ne
gambutusi,
ne
webika
ne
face
yona
bwotyo
tolaba
gyogenda
kulaga,
kati
omulala
bwatukako
mumaaso
ngalaba
teli
kimukanga
ngakyusa
ovulo
ne
sepewo
ngabisula
so
abigyako
wali
embwa
emulinda...
People
tried
many
ways
to
pass
by
the
dog
but
they
were
defeated,
to
some
people
those
ways
were
bad
and
evil,
you
wear
a
sackcloth
and
a
dirty
vest
and
cover
your
face
with
a
sock
and
gumboots,
and
then
you
appear
and
your
face
is
hidden,
now
the
other
one
comes
right
before
your
eyes
and
sees
that
nothing
is
stopping
you
from
changing
that
sackcloth
and
dirty
vest
knowing
that
you
covered
it
and
there
is
a
chained
dog
protecting
you...
