Yobu 1
1 Waaliwo omusajja mu nsi ya Uzzi erinnya lye Yobu; yali muntu ataliiko kya kunenyezebwa, nga wa mazima, eyeewalanga ekibi, era ng’atya Katonda.
Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi he fonua ko Usa, naʻe hingoa ko Siope; pea naʻe haohaoa mo angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ne manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi.
2 Yalina abaana aboobulenzi musanvu n’aboobuwala basatu.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
3 Mu byobugagga ebingi ennyo bye yalina; mwe mwali endiga kasanvu, eŋŋamira enkumi ssatu, emigogo gy’ente ezirima ebikumi bitaano, endogoyi enkazi ebikumi bitaano, n’abaddu bangi nnyo nnyini; yali mwatiikirivu okusinga abantu abalala bonna mu nsi z’ebuvanjuba.
Ko ʻene koloa ko e sipi ʻe fitu afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe tolu afe, mo e taulua fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe nimangeau, mo e fuʻu ʻapi tokolahi ʻaupito; pea naʻe lahi taha ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake.
4 Batabani be baakwatanga embaga z’amazaalibwa gaabwe buli omu mu mpalo ng’ennaku zaabwe bwe zaali ziddiriŋŋananga mu maka ga buli omu; era baayitanga bannyinaabwe bonsatule okubajagulizaangako.
Pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha ʻae kātoanga kai ʻi honau ngaahi fale, ʻo taki taha ʻi hono ʻaho; pea naʻe tala ki honau tuofefine ʻe toko tolu ke kai mo inu mo kinautolu.
5 Ennaku z’embaga bwe zaggwangako, Yobu yabatumyanga n’abatukuza; yakeeranga mu makya n’abaweerangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ng’omuwendo gwabwe bwe gwali ng’alowooza nti, “Oboolyawo ng’abaana bange bayonoonye ne bavvoola Katonda mu mitima gyabwe.” Kino yakikolanga bulijjo.
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻenau fai kātoanga, naʻe fekau ʻe Siope ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu, pea ne tuʻu hengihengi hake, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, naʻa kuo angahala ʻa hoku ngaahi foha, ʻo lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau loto. Naʻe fai pehē pe ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
6 Olunaku lumu, bamalayika ne bajja mu maaso ga Mukama, ne Setaani naye n’ajjiramu.
Ka naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu.
7 Mukama n’abuuza Setaani nti, “Ova wa?” Setaani n’addamu Mukama nti, “Nva kutalaaga nsi yonna okulaba ebintu nga bwe biri.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Ko hoʻo haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
8 Mukama Katonda n’abuuza Setaani nti, “Weetegerezza omuddu wange Yobu, atalina amufaanana, anzisaamu ekitiibwa, ataliiko kyakunenyezebwa era eyeewala buli ngeri yonna eyinza okukozesa omuntu ebibi?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi?”
9 Setaani n’addamu Mukama Katonda nti, “Ekitiibwa akussaamu kya bwereere?
Pea naʻe tali ai ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He kuo manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
10 Tomukozeeko lukomera ye n’ennyumba ye, n’eby’obugagga by’alina? Buli ky’akola okiwadde omukisa; n’eby’obugagga bye byeyongedde nnyo obungi!
ʻIkai kuo ke takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, mo hono fale, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē mei he potu kotoa pē? Pea kuo ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku tupulekina ʻene koloa ʻi he fonua.
11 Kale geza okwate ku by’alina obimuggyeko olabe nga taakwegaane nga n’ensi yonna eraba!”
Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo taaʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; kaeʻoua naʻa ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
13 Awo olunaku lumu, batabani ba Yobu ne bawala be bwe baali banywa omwenge era nga baliira ebyassava mu maka ga mukulu waabwe,
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻe hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
14 omubaka n’ajja eri Yobu n’amugamba nti, “Ente zibadde zirima nga n’endogoyi ziri kumpi nazo,
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae talafekau kia Siope, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe fai ʻae keli ʻe he fanga pulu, pea kai ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻi he potu ofi ki ai:
15 Abaseba ne bazigwako ne bazitwala era n’abaddu bonna ne babatta nze nsigaddewo nzekka okujja okukutegeeza bino.”
Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kakai Sipa ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu; pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
16 Oyo aba akyayogera ebyo, laba, omubaka omulala n’atuuka naye n’amugamba nti, “Omuliro gubuubuuse nga guva mu ggulu ne gusaanyaawo endiga zonna n’abasumba baazo, nze nsigaddewo nzekka okukutegeeza bino.”
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo tō mai mei he langi ʻae afi ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo vela ai ʻae fanga sipi, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
17 N’oyo aba akyayogera, n’omubaka omulala n’atuuka, n’agamba nti, “Abakaludaaya 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.”
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe vahe tolu ʻae kongakau Kalitia, ʻonau ʻoho mai ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave ia, pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
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,
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻa ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
19 laba, omuyaga ogw’amaanyi guvudde mu ddungu ne gugoyaagoya ennyumba yonna mwe babadde era bonna bafiiriddemu nze mponyeewo nzekka okujja okukubikira.”
Pea ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi mei he toafa, ʻo taaʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe holo ia ki he kau talavou, pea kuo nau mate; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
20 Yobu olwawulira bino byonna, n’agolokoka n’ayuza ebyambalo bye n’amwa omutwe gwe, n’avuunama n’asinza:
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Siope, ʻo ne haehae hono pulupulu, ʻo fakatekefua ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, ʻo hū.
21 n’agamba nti, “Nazaalibwa sirina kantu era bwe ntyo bwe ndiddayo. Mukama ye yawa era Mukama y’aggyeewo, erinnya lya Mukama Katonda lyebazibwe.”
ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku haʻu telefua pe mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toe ʻalu telefua atu pe: naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova, pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova; fakafetaʻi pe ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
22 Mu bino byonna Yobu teyayonoona kubanga teyeemulugunyiza Katonda.
ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope, pe tuku ha kovi ki he ʻOtua.
