Buli ky’akola okiwadde omukisa; n’eby’obugagga bye byeyongedde nnyo obungi! 11 Kale geza okwate ku by’alina obimuggyeko olabe nga taakwegaane nga n’ensi yonna eraba!” 12 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Setaani nti, “Byonna by’alina biri mu mikono gyo, naye togeza n’okwata ku bulamu bwe.” Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Setaani n’ava mu maaso ga Mukama.
Yobu afiirwa Abaana be n’eby’Obugagga bwe
13 Awo olunaku lumu, batabani ba Yobu ne bawala be bwe baali banywa omwenge era nga baliira ebyassava mu maka ga mukulu waabwe, 14 omubaka n’ajja eri Yobu n’amugamba nti, “Ente zibadde zirima nga n’endogoyi ziri kumpi nazo, 15 Abaseba‡Abaseba baali balunzi abaatambulanga okuva mu kifo ekimu nga balaga mu kirala, nga babeera mu bukiikaddyo bwa Buwalabu. ne bazigwako ne bazitwala era n’abaddu bonna ne babatta nze nsigaddewo nzekka okujja okukutegeeza bino.”

17 N’oyo aba akyayogera, n’omubaka omulala n’atuuka, n’agamba nti, “Abakaludaaya§Abakaludaaya baali batambuze mu ddungu okuva mu kifo ekimu okudda mu kirala nga babeera mu Mesopotamiya. Oluvannyuma baasalawo okubeera mu kifo kimu ne bassaawo Obwakabaka bw’e Babulooni. bazze nga beetegese mu bibinja bisatu, ne bagwa ku ŋŋamira ne bazitwala era ne batta n’abaddu ababadde bazirabirira, era nze nzekka nze nsigaddewo okujja okukumanyisa bino.”
18 Aba akyayogera, laba, n’omulala n’ajja n’amugamba nti, “Batabani bo ne bawala bo babadde baliira era nga banywera omwenge mu nnyumba ya mukulu waabwe, 19 laba, omuyaga ogw’amaanyi guvudde mu ddungu ne gugoyaagoya ennyumba yonna mwe babadde era bonna bafiiriddemu nze mponyeewo nzekka okujja okukubikira.”
20 Yobu olwawulira bino byonna, n’agolokoka n’ayuza ebyambalo bye n’amwa omutwe gwe, n’avuunama n’asinza: 21 n’agamba nti,
“Nazaalibwa sirina kantu
era bwe ntyo bwe ndiddayo.
Mukama ye yawa era Mukama y’aggyeewo,
erinnya lya Mukama Katonda lyebazibwe.”
22 Mu bino byonna Yobu teyayonoona kubanga teyeemulugunyiza Katonda.
