Job 37
1 At this my heart trembleth, And leapeth out of its place.
“Kino kikankanya omutima gwange, ne gubuuka okuva mu kifo kyagwo.
2 Hear, O hear, the thunder of his voice, And the noise which goeth forth from his mouth!
Wuliriza okubwatuka kw’eddoboozi lye, n’okuwuluguma okuva mu kamwa ke.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.
Asumulula eggulu ne limyansa wansi w’eggulu wonna, n’aliragira ligende ku nkomerero y’ensi.
4 After it the thunder roareth; He thundereth with his voice of majesty, And restraineth it not, when his voice is heard.
Kino oluggwa, okuwuluguma kw’eddoboozi lye kwe kuddako, abwatuka n’eddoboozi lye ery’omwanguka, era eddoboozi lye bwe liwulirwa, tewabaawo kisigala nga bwe kibadde.
5 God thundereth with his voice marvellously; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
Eddoboozi lya Katonda libwatuka mu ngeri ey’ekitalo; akola ebintu ebikulu ebisukka okutegeera kwaffe.
6 For he saith to the snow, “Be thou on the earth!” To the shower also, even the showers of his might.
Agamba omuzira nti, ‘Ggwa ku nsi,’ ate eri enkuba etonnya nti, ‘Ttonnya nnyo.’
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may acknowledge him.
Emirimu gya buli muntu giyimirira, buli omu n’alyoka amanya amaanyi ga Katonda.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, And abide in their caverns.
Ensolo ne ziryoka zessogga empuku zaazo, ne zigenda zeekukuma.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind, And cold out of the north.
Omuyaga ne gulyoka guva mu nnyumba yaagwo, n’obunnyogovu ne buva mu mpewo ekuŋŋunta.
10 By the breath of God ice is formed, And the broad waters become narrow,
Omuzira ne guva mu mukka gwa Katonda n’amazzi amangi ne gekwata kitole.
11 Yea, with moisture he burdeneth the clouds; He spreadeth abroad his lightning-clouds.
Ebire abijjuza amatondo g’amazzi, n’asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu.
12 They move about by his direction, To execute all his commands throughout the world;
Byetooloolatooloola nga y’abiragira, ne bituukiriza byonna by’abiragira, ku nsi yonna okubeera abantu.
13 Whether he cause them to come for punishment, Or for the land, or for mercy.
Bwe kuba kubonereza, oba okufukirira ensi oba okulaga okwagala kwe, atonnyesa enkuba.
14 Give ear to this, O Job! Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God!
“Wuliriza kino Yobu; sooka oyimirire olowooze ku bikolwa bya Katonda eby’ettendo.
15 Dost thou know when God gave commandment to them, And caused the lightning of his cloud to flash?
Omanyi Katonda engeri gy’alagiramu ebire, n’aleetera eggulu okumyansa?
16 Dost thou understand the balancing of the clouds, The wondrous works of Him that is perfect in knowledge?
Omanyi engeri ebire gye bituulamu mu bbanga, amakula g’emirimu gy’oyo eyatuukirira mu kumanya?
17 How thy garments become warm, When he maketh the earth still by the south wind?
Ggwe alina ebyambalo ebibuguma, ensi bw’eba ng’ekkakkanyizibbwa embuyaga ez’obukiikaddyo,
18 Canst thou like him spread out the sky, Which is firm like a molten mirror?
oyinza okumwegattako ne mubamba eggulu, eryaguma ne libeera ng’endabirwamu ensanuuse?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him! For we cannot set in order our words by reason of darkness.
“Tubuulire kye tunaamugamba; tetusobola kuwoza nsonga zaffe gy’ali olw’ekizikiza kye tulimu.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Shall a man speak, that he may be consumed?
Asaanidde okubuulirwa kye njagala okwogera? Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okusaba okumalibwawo?
21 For now men do not look upon the light, When it is bright in the skies, When the wind hath passed over them, and made them clear.
Kaakano tewali n’omu ayinza kutunula mu njuba, olw’engeri gy’eyakamu ku ggulu, ng’empewo emaze okuyita, n’eyelula ebire.
22 From the north cometh gold; But with God is terrible majesty!
Mu bukiikakkono evaayo zaabu; Katonda ajja mu kitiibwa eky’amaanyi.
23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out; Great is he in power and justice, Abundant in righteousness; he doth not oppress.
Ayinzabyonna tatuukikako era agulumidde mu maanyi, mu bwenkanya bwe era ne butuukirivu bwe, tawaliriza muntu yenna.
24 Therefore let men fear him! Upon none of the wise in heart will he look.
Noolwekyo abantu bamutya, takitwala ng’ekikulu olw’abo abeerowooza okuba abagezi mu mitima gyabwe.”
