Yobu 12
1 Awo Yobu n’amuddamu nti,
Sotheli Joob answeride, and seide,
2 “Awatali kubuusabuusa muli bantu. Bwe mulifa n’amagezi gammwe ne gafa.
Therfor ben ye men aloone, that wisdom dwelle with you?
3 Naye nange nnina amagezi ntegeera, temunsinga. Ani atabimanyi ebyo byonna?
And to me is an herte, as and to you, and Y am not lowere than ye; for who knowith not these thingis, whiche ye knowen?
4 Nfuuse ekisekererwa eri mikwano gyange. Nze eyakoowolanga Katonda n’anziramu, ne nsekererwa obusekererwa, ate nga ndi mutukuvu ataliiko musango!
He that is scorned of his frend, as Y am, schal inwardli clepe God, and God schal here hym; for the symplenesse of a iust man is scorned.
5 Abantu abali mu ddembe lyabwe batera okusekerera abali mu mitawaana, ng’ebizibu bwe biba ku abo ababa batuuse awazibu.
A laumpe is dispisid at the thouytis of riche men, and the laumpe is maad redi to a tyme ordeyned.
6 Weema z’abanyazi tezibaako mutawaana, era abo abanyiiza Katonda babeera mu ddembe abo abeetikka katonda waabwe mu mikono gyabwe.
The tabernaclis of robberis ben plenteuouse, `ether ful of goodis; and boldli thei terren God to wraththe, whanne he hath youe alle thingis in to her hondis.
7 Naye buuza ensolo zijja kukuyigiriza, oba ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga binaakubuulira.
No wondur, ax thou beestis, and tho schulen teche thee; and axe thou volatilis of the eir, and tho schulen schewe to thee.
8 Oba yogera n’ettaka linaakusomesa oba ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja binaakunnyonnyola.
Speke thou to the erthe, and it schal answere thee; and the fischis of the see schulen telle tho thingis.
9 Biki ku bino ebitamanyi nti, omukono gwa Mukama gwe gukoze ebyo?
Who knowith not that the hond of the Lord made alle these thingis?
10 Buli bulamu bwa kitonde buli mu mukono gwe, na buli mukka ogussibwa abantu bonna.
In whos hond the soule is of ech lyuynge thing, and the spirit, `that is, resonable soule, of ech fleisch of man.
11 Okutu tekugezesa bigambo ng’olulimi bwe lukomba ku mmere?
Whether the eere demeth not wordis, and the chekis of the etere demen sauour?
12 Amagezi tegasangibwa mu bakaddiye? Okuwangaala tekuleeta kutegeera?
Wisdom is in elde men, and prudence is in myche tyme.
13 Katonda y’alina amagezi n’amaanyi; y’ateesa ebigambo era y’alina okutegeera.
Wisdom and strengthe is at God; he hath counsel and vndurstondyng.
14 Ky’amenya teri ayinza kuddamu kukizimba; ky’asiba mu kkomera tekiyinza kuteebwa.
If he distrieth, no man is that bildith; if he schittith in a man, `noon is that openith.
15 Bw’aziyiza amazzi, ekyeeya kijja, bw’agata gazikiriza ensi.
If he holdith togidere watris, alle thingis schulen be maad drie; if he sendith out tho watris, tho schulen distrie the erthe.
16 Ye, ye nannyini maanyi n’obuwanguzi, abalimba n’abalimbibwa bonna babe.
Strengthe and wisdom is at God; he knowith bothe hym that disseyueth and hym that is disseyued.
17 Aggyawo abawi b’amagezi nga tebalina kantu, abalamuzi n’abafuula abasirusiru.
And he bryngith conselours in to a fonned eende, and iugis in to wondryng, ethir astonying.
18 Bakabaka abaggyako enjegere ze beesiba ebiwato byabwe, n’abasibamu obukete.
He vnbindith the girdil of kyngis, and girdith her reynes with a coorde.
19 Bakabona abatwala nga tebalina kantu, n’asuula abasajja abaanywera.
He ledith her prestis with out glorie, and he disseyueth the principal men, `ethir counselours;
20 Aziba emimwa egy’abawi b’amagezi abeesigwa, era n’aggyawo okwolesebwa kw’abakadde.
and he chaungith the lippis of sothefast men, and takith awei the doctrine of elde men.
21 Ayiwa ekivume ku bakungu, era n’aggya ebyokulwanyisa ku b’amaanyi.
He schedith out dispisyng on princes, and releeueth hem, that weren oppressid.
22 Abikkula ebintu eby’ebuziba eby’ekizikiza, n’aleeta n’ebisiikirize eby’amaanyi mu kitangaala.
Which schewith depe thingis fro derknessis; and bryngith forth in to liyt the schadewe of deeth.
23 Afuula amawanga okuba ag’amaanyi, era n’agazikiriza; agaziya amawanga n’agasaasaanya.
Which multiplieth folkis, and leesith hem, and restorith hem destried in to the hool.
24 Abakulembeze baamawanga abaggyako okukola ebisaanidde; n’abasindika nga bagwirana mu ddungu eritaliimu kkubo.
Which chaungith the herte of princes of the puple of erthe; and disseyueth hem, that thei go in veyn out of the weie.
25 Bawammantira mu kizikiza awatali kitangaala; abaleetera okutagala ng’abatamiivu.”
Thei schulen grope, as in derknessis, and not in liyt; and he schal make hem to erre as drunken men.
