Yobu 26
1 Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
And Job answereth and saith: —
2 “Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!
What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!
What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
4 Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?
With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
5 “Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.
The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
8 Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
10 Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.
A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.
Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.
By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
13 Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.
By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand 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] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
