Yobu 26
1 Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
Then Job answered:
2 “Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 “Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Naye nga bino katundu butundu ku bye yakola. Nga kye tumuwulirako katundu butundu ku ekyo ky’ali! Ani ayinza okutegeera okubwatuka kw’obuyinza bwe?”
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
