Yobu 2
1 Ku lunaku olulala bamalayika ne bajja okukiika mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, ne Setaani naye n’ajjiramu.
And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
2 Mukama Katonda n’abuuza Setaani nti, “Ova wa?” Setaani n’amuddamu nti, “Nva kutalaaga ensi yonna.”
That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it.
3 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Setaani nti, “Olowoozezza ku muddu wange Yobu? Talina kyakunenyezebwa, mwesimbu, atya Katonda era eyeewala ekibi bw’atyo talina amufaanana. Anywezezza obutuukirivu bwe newaakubadde nga wansokasoka mmuzikirize awatali nsonga.”
And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause.
4 Setaani n’amuddamu nti, “Eddiba olw’eddiba, omuntu kyaliva awaayo byonna by’alina olw’okuwonya obulamu bwe;
And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will give for his life:
5 naye golola omukono gwo okwate ku magumba ge n’omubiri gwe olabe oba taakwegaane.”
But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless thee to thy face.
6 Mukama Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Weewaawo, ali mu mukono gwo, kyokka mulekere obulamu bwe.”
And the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save his life.
7 Awo Setaani n’ava awali Mukama Katonda, n’alwaza Yobu amayute amazibu okuva ku mutwe, okutuukira ddala ku bigere.
So Satan went forth from the presence Of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:
8 Yobu n’atandika okweyaguzanga oluggyo ng’eno bw’atudde mu vvu.
And he took a potsherd and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
9 Kyokka mukyala we n’amugamba nti, “Okyagugubidde ku butuukirivu bwo? Weegaane Katonda ofe!”
And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.
10 Naye ye n’amuddamu nti, “Oyogera ng’omu ku bakazi abatategeera bwe bandyogedde! Tunaafunanga birungi byereere mu mukono gwa Katonda?” Mu bino byonna Yobu teyayonoona na kamwa ke.
And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Awo mikwano gya Yobu abasatu; Erifaazi Omutemani, Birudaadi Omusuki, ne Zofali Omunaamasi bwe baawulira emitawaana egyali gituuse ku mukwano gwabwe, ne bajja buli omu okuva ewuwe ne basisinkana nga bwe baali bateesezza, bagende bamusaasire bamuzzeemu amaanyi.
Now when Job’s three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him.
12 Tebaamutegeererawo nga bakyali wala, olw’embeera gye yalimu; ne bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakuba ebiwoobe ne bayuza ebyambalo byabwe ne bayiwa enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe.
And when they had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven.
13 Awo ne batuula naye we yali atudde okumala ennaku musanvu emisana n’ekiro nga tewali anyega, olw’obulumi obungi Yobu bwe yalimu.
And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great.
