Yobu 26
1 Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
Then Job made answer and said,
2 “Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 “Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
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?”
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
