Era bangi ni beepuuda eikoke ni bagona okwitakali nga beesibire ebibenga.
4 Abaweererya bʼEseza abakali nʼabalaawe, owebaabire e gyali ni bamukobera ebikwata oku Moludekaayi, nʼanakuwala ino. Nʼamuweererya ebizwalo ebyokuzwala omu kifo kyʼebibenga, neye oMoludekaayi nandi nʼabiikirirya. 5 Awo Eseza nʼayeta oKasaki omoiza oku baweererya abalaawe aba kabaka ogubabbaire bateekerewo okuweereryanga Eseza, nʼamutuma ayabe e giri oMoludekaayi ategeere ekiri okumuteganya era lwaki.
6 Atyo oKasaki nʼayaba e giri oMoludekaayi eyabbaire omu kifo abantu e gibakumbaanira omu kibuga. Ekifo ekyo kyabbaire mumaiso wʼegeeti yʼolubiri lwa kabaka. 7 OMoludekaayi nʼamukobera byonabyona ebyabbaire bimutuukireku, nʼobungi bwempiiya oKamani obuyabbaire asuubizire okutwala omwigwanika lyʼobwakabaka, singa bajigirica aBayudaaya bonabona. 8 OMoludekaayi nʼawa oKasaki ekopi yʼebiwandiiko ebyabbairemu eiteeka eribabbaire bawulucirye omu Susa, eriragira okusaanyawo aBayudaaya. Nʼamukoba abitwalire Eseza era nʼamukoba yeegairire Eseza ayabe eeri okabaka, amusabe akwatire abantube aBayudaaya ekisa.
9 Awo oKasaki nʼayaba nʼakobera Eseza, oMoludekaayi ebyakobere. 10 Eseza nʼawa oKasaki obukwenda obwokukanjirya oMoludekaayi ati, 11 “Abakungu ba kabaka bonabona nʼabantu abʼomu matwalege agaafuga bamaite bati singa wabbaawo omuntu nʼowaabba musaiza ooba mukali, aingira omu luuga olwʼomunda okwaba okubona okabaka nga tibamwetere, omuntu oyo bateekwa kumwita. Wazira singa okabaka asiirya omwigogwe ogwʼezaabbu okwikirirya omuntu oyo okwingira, omuntu oyo tibamwita. Neye atyanu enaku 30 egyankubitawo kasookeede banjeta okwaba eeri okabaka.”
12 Owebakobeire oMoludekaayi Eseza ebyakobere, 13 oMoludekaayi nʼamuweererya obukwenda ngʼamwiramu ati, “Tiwaseega oti olwʼokubba oli mu lubiri lwa kabaka, niiwe wenkani omu Bayudaaya bonabona owalamakuuwo. 14 Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba singa wasirika omu kiseera kinu, aBayudaaya baaba okusuna obubbeeri obwʼokubanunula okuzwa awantu awandi, neye iwe nʼabʼenyumba ya iteewo, babajigirice. Neye era naani-so amaite amo niikyo ekyabbaire ekigendererwa ekya kukusuuca onabagereka omu kiseera nga kinu!”
15 Eseza nʼatuma obukwenda ngʼairamu oMoludekaayi ati, 16 “Oyabe okumbaanie aBayudaaya bonabona aamo abali omu kibuga oSusa, musiibe era munsabire. Timwalya waire okubbaaku nʼekimunywa obwire nʼomusana, okumala enaku isatu. Nze nʼabaweererya bange abakali, twaba okusiiba nga nywena wemusiiba. Oluzwanyuma naaba eeri okabaka newankubbaire nga kyabba kimenya eiteeka. Ooba kufa, naafa!”
