< Yobu 26 >

1 Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
BUT Job answered and said,
2 “Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 “Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Amagombe gali bwereere mu maaso ga Katonda; n’okuzikiriza tekulina kikubisse. (Sheol h7585)
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked 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?”
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
