1“Obulamu bwange bujiire, enaku dhange dhiwoireku;
amagombe gonka ge nteegereire.
2Bwenebwene buli muntu anhooma mulala nze,
era mbabona boonaboona nga bali kunsonsoonia.”
Yobu asaba Katonda amuyambe
3“Wo Katonda, niiwe obe onteeregho akabega,
ghazira wundi anampolerezaayo.
4Nga bw’obaleese enzimeera ku mwoyo ni batasobola kutegeera,
otabaleka kughangula.
5Omuntu yeenayeena alya mu baine olukwe olw’okufuna ebintu byaibwe,
abaana be balidaagadaaga.”
Yobu taganha ati bakagwa be batuufu
6“Nfuuliibwa nseko dha balamu,
era abantu ye bafuudhaku amatanta.
7Amaiso gandidhieku ekifu olw’enaku,
zeenazeena ngoogombye, nsigaire magumba.
8Abantu abeeyeta abalungi bwe babona kino batya inho,
era bansungughalira nga banvunaana obutatya Katonda.
9Aye abo abeeyeta abatuufu,
beeyongera bwa kwegumya bati batuufu.
10Aye ngoli boonaboona baidha baayemerera mu maiso gange,
tyandyagainemu mugezi waire omulala ati.”
Okufa, n’eisuubi lya Yobu ly’asigaiza lyonka
11“Enaku dhange dhijiire; bye ntegeka bifiire,
era ni bye nsuubira byona bityo.
12Bakagwa bange obwire babweta musana,
enzikiiza bw’eba erikugema, bati bunaatera okutangaala.
13E magombe ni yonka ye nsuubira okuba amaka gange,
neeyalire eyo obuliri, ntenduke mu nzikiiza.
14Ndhete amagombe lata,
n’enhengere ndheete maama era ndheete baanhinaze.
15Olwo eisuubi liri gha?
Kye nsuubira naani ali kukibona?
16Ndiikirira n’eisuubi eryo e magombe?
Tulija nalyo tutyo eyo mu itaka?”
