< Job 37 >

1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
“Kino kikankanya omutima gwange, ne gubuuka okuva mu kifo kyagwo.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
Wuliriza okubwatuka kw’eddoboozi lye, n’okuwuluguma okuva mu kamwa ke.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, 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 a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything 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 thunders marvellously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
Eddoboozi lya Katonda libwatuka mu ngeri ey’ekitalo; akola ebintu ebikulu ebisukka okutegeera kwaffe.
6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
Agamba omuzira nti, ‘Ggwa ku nsi,’ ate eri enkuba etonnya nti, ‘Ttonnya nnyo.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
Emirimu gya buli muntu giyimirira, buli omu n’alyoka amanya amaanyi ga Katonda.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
Ensolo ne ziryoka zessogga empuku zaazo, ne zigenda zeekukuma.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, 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 given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
Omuzira ne guva mu mukka gwa Katonda n’amazzi amangi ne gekwata kitole.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
Ebire abijjuza amatondo g’amazzi, n’asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu.
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Byetooloolatooloola nga y’abiragira, ne bituukiriza byonna by’abiragira, ku nsi yonna okubeera abantu.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Bwe kuba kubonereza, oba okufukirira ensi oba okulaga okwagala kwe, atonnyesa enkuba.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Wuliriza kino Yobu; sooka oyimirire olowooze ku bikolwa bya Katonda eby’ettendo.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Omanyi Katonda engeri gy’alagiramu ebire, n’aleetera eggulu okumyansa?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Omanyi engeri ebire gye bituulamu mu bbanga, amakula g’emirimu gy’oyo eyatuukirira mu kumanya?
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Ggwe alina ebyambalo ebibuguma, ensi bw’eba ng’ekkakkanyizibbwa embuyaga ez’obukiikaddyo,
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
oyinza okumwegattako ne mubamba eggulu, eryaguma ne libeera ng’endabirwamu ensanuuse?
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
“Tubuulire kye tunaamugamba; tetusobola kuwoza nsonga zaffe gy’ali olw’ekizikiza kye tulimu.
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Asaanidde okubuulirwa kye njagala okwogera? Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okusaba okumalibwawo?
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
Kaakano tewali n’omu ayinza kutunula mu njuba, olw’engeri gy’eyakamu ku ggulu, ng’empewo emaze okuyita, n’eyelula ebire.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendour. With God is awesome majesty.
Mu bukiikakkono evaayo zaabu; Katonda ajja mu kitiibwa eky’amaanyi.
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
Ayinzabyonna tatuukikako era agulumidde mu maanyi, mu bwenkanya bwe era ne butuukirivu bwe, tawaliriza muntu yenna.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
Noolwekyo abantu bamutya, takitwala ng’ekikulu olw’abo abeerowooza okuba abagezi mu mitima gyabwe.”
