Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
Eriku n’ayongera okwogera nti,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
“Olowooza kiba kituufu ggwe okugamba nti, Katonda ananziggyako omusango. Oyogera nti, obutuukirivu bwange businga obwa Katonda.
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
Ate obuuza nti, ‘Nganyulwa ntya?’ Kirungi ki kye nfuna mu kwonoona kwange?
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
“Nandyagadde okukuddamu ne mikwano gyo egyo gy’oli nagyo.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.
Tunula eri eggulu olabe; tunuulira ebire, ebiri waggulu ennyo okukusinga.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
Singa oyonoona ekyo kimukwatako kitya? Ebyonoono byo bwe byeyongera, ekyo kimukolako ki?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
Bw’oba omutuukirivu, kiki ky’oba omuwadde, oba kiki ky’aba afunye okuva mu ngalo zo?
8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art; ] and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
Okwonoona kwo kukosa muntu nga ggwe, era n’obutuukirivu bwo bukwata ku baana b’abantu.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Abantu bakaaba olw’okunyigirizibwa okw’amaanyi, balaajaanira ab’omukono ogw’amaanyi.
10 But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
Naye tewali n’omu agamba nti, Aluwa Mukama Omutonzi wange atuwa ennyimba ekiro,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
atuyigiriza ebingi okusinga ensolo ez’omu nsiko, era n’atufuula bagezi okusinga ebinyonyi eby’omu nsiko?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Newaakubadde nga bakaaba, tayinza kuwulira n’addamu kukaaba kw’abasajja ab’amalala abakozi b’ebibi.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Ddala ddala Katonda tawuliriza kukoowoola kwabwe okwo okutaliimu; Ayinzabyonna takufaako.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Kale kiba kitya bw’ogamba nti tomulaba, era nti, Omusango gwo guli mu maaso ge era oteekwa okumulindirira;
15 But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
oba nti, ne bw’asunguwala tabonereza era tafaayo nnyo ku butali butuukirivu.
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Kale nno Yobu ayasamya akamwa ke okwogera ebitaliimu; obutamanya bumwogeza ebigambo olukunkumuli.”
