19 Eriya n’amuddamu nti, “Mpa omwana wo.” N’amuggya mu kifuba kye, n’amusitula n’amutwala mu kisenge ekya waggulu*Ekisenge ekya waggulu kyabeeranga kya bagenyi, na kya kuterekangamu mmere. gye yabeeranga, n’amugalamiza ku kitanda kye. 20 N’akoowoola Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ne nnamwandu ono gwe mbeera naye omuleeseko ekikangabwa kino, n’otta omwana we?” 21 Eriya ne yeegololera ku mulenzi emirundi esatu, n’akaabira Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, obulamu bw’omulenzi ono bukomewo nate!”
22 Mukama n’awulira okukaaba kwa Eriya, obulamu bw’omulenzi ne bumuddamu, era n’alama. 23 Awo Eriya n’asitula omwana n’amuserengesa okuva mu kisenge n’amuleeta mu nnyumba, n’amuwa nnyina, n’amugamba nti, “Laba mutabani wo mulamu!”
24 Awo nnamwandu n’agamba Eriya nti, “Kaakano ntegedde ng’oli musajja wa Katonda, era n’ekigambo kya Mukama ekiva mu kamwa ko kiba kya mazima.”
