² Akazaara abaana aboojo musanju, abaisiki basatu,

³ Akaba atungire entaama kasanju, engamiya enkumi isatu, ente rukumi, n'endogoyi ebuguma rukumi, n'abaheereza baingi muno; omusaija ogu, nikyo yakirraga abantu boona aba Burugaizooba.

⁴ Batabani be baagendaga bacumba obugenyi, buli muntu omunju ye kandi ha kiro kye; baatumahoga abanyanya abaisiki abasatu nibabaraliza kwija balye kandi banywe na bo.

⁶ Baitu hakabaho ekiro, ab'omwiguru eki baiziireho kukurata hali MUKAMA, Sitaani na uwe yabaiziramu.

⁷ MUKAMA yakaguza Sitaani ati: “Nooruga nkaha?” Sitaani yagarukamu MUKAMA ati: “Ninduga kugendagenda omunsi, ningitemba ningitemburruka.”

⁸ MUKAMA yagaruka yamukaguza ati: “Omuheereza wange Yobbu omuteekeriizeeho, nkooku hatarumu n'omu arukumusisana, omusaija ataina kamogo, kandi omuhikiriire, anyakutiina Ruhanga kandi anyakufuuhya obubi?”

¹⁰ Otamuzitirre orukoroba wamwehinguliriza n'enju ye na byona ebi ainabyo, orubaju n'orubaju? Emirimo ye yoona ogiha omugisa, ebintu byeyongiire kukanya omunsi.

¹² MUKAMA yagambira Sitaani ati: “Byona ebi ainabyo obiinaho obusobozi, bikole nkooku orukwenda; kyonka uwe, otamukoraho.” Aho Sitaani yaruga omumaiso ga MUKAMA.

¹³ Kiro kimu, batabani ba Yobbu na bahara be obu bakaba nibalya kandi nibanywa eviini omunju ya mukuru wabo;

¹⁴ Yobbu akahikwaho omukwenda yamugambira ati: “Ente zawe zibaire niirima, n'enkaina niirya ziziri haihi;

¹⁵ nubwo haija Abasabbeya baazigwera bainyaga abaheereza bawe baabaisa ebitara; nyowe nyenka, ninyowe nsigaireho, nkugambire.”

¹⁶ Ogu obu akaba atakamazire kubaza, haija ondi yagamba ati: “Omurro gwa Ruhanga gurugire omwiguru gwagwa, gwayokya entaama n'abaheereza boona busaho ekisigaireho; nyowe nyenka, ninyowe ntabukire, nukwo kwija kukugambira.”

¹⁷ Ogu na uwe obu akaba naakyabaza, haija ondi yagamba ati: “Abakalidaaya beecwiremu ebicweka bisatu baatuseesira, baanyaga engamiya, abaheereza baabaisa ekitara; nyowe nyenka ninyowe ntabukire, nkugambire.”
