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 you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 “Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
8 Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
11 Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
By his breath he made the skies clear; 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?”
See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
