   • 2008, Ekitabu Ekirukwera N'Ebitabu Ebyeetwa Deturokanoniko/Apokurifa [Bible in Runyoro/Rutooro Interconfessional Translation], Bible Society of Uganda, Ebikorwa By'abakwenda 7:27-28:

     Ogu ayabaire naakora kubi mugenzi we yamusindika kuli naagamba ati: ‘Nooha ayakuhaire obusobozi obw'okutulema n'okutucwera emisango? Nooyenda kuunyita nkooku waisire Omumisiri ijo?’

     But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
