Job 26

1 Then answered Job, and said,

Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,

2 What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?

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

3 How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?

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

4 To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?

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

5 The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.

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

6 Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)

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

7 He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;

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

8 He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;

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

9 He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;

Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.

10 A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.

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

11 The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.

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

12 By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:

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

13 By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.

Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.

14 Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?

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