< Job 37 >

1 Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
“Kino kikankanya omutima gwange, ne gubuuka okuva mu kifo kyagwo.
2 Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
Wuliriza okubwatuka kw’eddoboozi lye, n’okuwuluguma okuva mu kamwa ke.
3 Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
Asumulula eggulu ne limyansa wansi w’eggulu wonna, n’aliragira ligende ku nkomerero y’ensi.
4 After it roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, 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 wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
Eddoboozi lya Katonda libwatuka mu ngeri ey’ekitalo; akola ebintu ebikulu ebisukka okutegeera kwaffe.
6 For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
Agamba omuzira nti, ‘Ggwa ku nsi,’ ate eri enkuba etonnya nti, ‘Ttonnya nnyo.’
7 Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
Emirimu gya buli muntu giyimirira, buli omu n’alyoka amanya amaanyi ga Katonda.
8 And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
Ensolo ne ziryoka zessogga empuku zaazo, ne zigenda zeekukuma.
9 From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
Omuyaga ne gulyoka guva mu nnyumba yaagwo, n’obunnyogovu ne buva mu mpewo ekuŋŋunta.
10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
Omuzira ne guva mu mukka gwa Katonda n’amazzi amangi ne gekwata kitole.
11 Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
Ebire abijjuza amatondo g’amazzi, n’asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu.
12 And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
Byetooloolatooloola nga y’abiragira, ne bituukiriza byonna by’abiragira, ku nsi yonna okubeera abantu.
13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
Bwe kuba kubonereza, oba okufukirira ensi oba okulaga okwagala kwe, atonnyesa enkuba.
14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
“Wuliriza kino Yobu; sooka oyimirire olowooze ku bikolwa bya Katonda eby’ettendo.
15 Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
Omanyi Katonda engeri gy’alagiramu ebire, n’aleetera eggulu okumyansa?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
Omanyi engeri ebire gye bituulamu mu bbanga, amakula g’emirimu gy’oyo eyatuukirira mu kumanya?
17 How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
Ggwe alina ebyambalo ebibuguma, ensi bw’eba ng’ekkakkanyizibbwa embuyaga ez’obukiikaddyo,
18 Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
oyinza okumwegattako ne mubamba eggulu, eryaguma ne libeera ng’endabirwamu ensanuuse?
19 Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
“Tubuulire kye tunaamugamba; tetusobola kuwoza nsonga zaffe gy’ali olw’ekizikiza kye tulimu.
20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
Asaanidde okubuulirwa kye njagala okwogera? Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okusaba okumalibwawo?
21 And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
Kaakano tewali n’omu ayinza kutunula mu njuba, olw’engeri gy’eyakamu ku ggulu, ng’empewo emaze okuyita, n’eyelula ebire.
22 From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
Mu bukiikakkono evaayo zaabu; Katonda ajja mu kitiibwa eky’amaanyi.
23 The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
Ayinzabyonna tatuukikako era agulumidde mu maanyi, mu bwenkanya bwe era ne butuukirivu bwe, tawaliriza muntu yenna.
24 Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
Noolwekyo abantu bamutya, takitwala ng’ekikulu olw’abo abeerowooza okuba abagezi mu mitima gyabwe.”
