< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered,
Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
2 "How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
“Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
5 "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
“Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
6 Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Amagombe gali bwereere mu maaso ga Katonda; n’okuzikiriza tekulina kikubisse. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
14 Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him. But the thunder of his power 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?”
