Yobu 26
1 Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
Then Job answered and said:
2 “Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!
How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
3 Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
4 Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
5 “Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, 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 covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
10 Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
11 Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.
12 Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
13 Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed 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?”
Lo! these are but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have heard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
