Job 35
1 And Elihu answers and says:
Eriku n’ayongera okwogera nti,
2 “Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, 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 you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
Ate obuuza nti, ‘Nganyulwa ntya?’ Kirungi ki kye nfuna mu kwonoona kwange?
4 I return words, and your friends with you,
“Nandyagadde okukuddamu ne mikwano gyo egyo gy’oli nagyo.
5 Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
Tunula eri eggulu olabe; tunuulira ebire, ebiri waggulu ennyo okukusinga.
6 If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
Singa oyonoona ekyo kimukwatako kitya? Ebyonoono byo bwe byeyongera, ekyo kimukolako ki?
7 If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
Bw’oba omutuukirivu, kiki ky’oba omuwadde, oba kiki ky’aba afunye okuva mu ngalo zo?
8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
Okwonoona kwo kukosa muntu nga ggwe, era n’obutuukirivu bwo bukwata ku baana b’abantu.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
Abantu bakaaba olw’okunyigirizibwa okw’amaanyi, balaajaanira ab’omukono ogw’amaanyi.
10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
Naye tewali n’omu agamba nti, Aluwa Mukama Omutonzi wange atuwa ennyimba ekiro,
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
atuyigiriza ebingi okusinga ensolo ez’omu nsiko, era n’atufuula bagezi okusinga ebinyonyi eby’omu nsiko?
12 There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
Newaakubadde nga bakaaba, tayinza kuwulira n’addamu kukaaba kw’abasajja ab’amalala abakozi b’ebibi.
13 Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
Ddala ddala Katonda tawuliriza kukoowoola kwabwe okwo okutaliimu; Ayinzabyonna takufaako.
14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
Kale kiba kitya bw’ogamba nti tomulaba, era nti, Omusango gwo guli mu maaso ge era oteekwa okumulindirira;
15 And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
oba nti, ne bw’asunguwala tabonereza era tafaayo nnyo ku butali butuukirivu.
16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
Kale nno Yobu ayasamya akamwa ke okwogera ebitaliimu; obutamanya bumwogeza ebigambo olukunkumuli.”
