Okutegeera ♫ (Understanding)

Okutegeera kwe kubeera n’engeri n’obusobozi obw’okulaba n’okutegeera amazima agali munda mu birowoozo n’ensonga z’emitima, gamba nga okwagala, okutya, obukyayi, obusungu n’ebirala.

(Understanding is having clear insight into ideas and feelings.)

Tunoonya n’obwegendereza okutegeera amazima mu bujjuvu.

(We thoughtfully seek to comprehend the full truth.)

Tunnyikiza amazima mu balala nga tubalumirirwa era mu butuufu bwago, nga tubayamba okutangaazibwa mu kunnyonnyoka kwabwe.

(We deeply present to others with compassion and accuracy, helping them discern their own clarity.)

Tufuba mu ngeri eyenjawulo okweteeka mu bigere by’abalala kitusobozese okusonyiwa.

(We go the extra mile to put ourselves in another’s shoes in order to forgive.)

Tutwala amagezi ng’eky'omuwendo ennyo, era tukozesa obusobozi bwaffe obw’okulowooza nga twekenneenya ekikakafu kyennyini era ekituufu.

(We treasure knowledge, and use our minds as tools to explore what is real and true.)

Twagala nnyo obusobozi bw’okumanya embeera entuufu ey’ekintu kyonna awamu.

(We cherish the ability to see the whole picture.)

“Singa omuntu abeera mukugu mu kintu ekimu era nga akitegeerera ddala bulungi, omuntu oyo mu kiseera kye kimu, abeera n’obukugu obw’okulaba n’okuteegera ebintu bingi.”

(“If one is a master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.”)
VINCENT VAN GOGH
