Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,

2 To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?

“Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!

3 To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?

Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!

4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?

Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?

5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?

“Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.

6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)

Amagombe gali bwereere mu maaso ga Katonda; n’okuzikiriza tekulina kikubisse. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;

Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.

8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.

Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.

9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.

Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.

10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.

Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.

11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.

Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.

12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.

Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.

13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.

Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.

14 Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?

Naye nga bino katundu butundu ku bye yakola. Nga kye tumuwulirako katundu butundu ku ekyo ky’ali! Ani ayinza okutegeera okubwatuka kw’obuyinza bwe?”
