Yobu 37
1 “Kino kikankanya omutima gwange, ne gubuuka okuva mu kifo kyagwo.
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Wuliriza okubwatuka kw’eddoboozi lye, n’okuwuluguma okuva mu kamwa ke.
Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 Asumulula eggulu ne limyansa wansi w’eggulu wonna, n’aliragira ligende ku nkomerero y’ensi.
He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 Kino oluggwa, okuwuluguma kw’eddoboozi lye kwe kuddako, abwatuka n’eddoboozi lye ery’omwanguka, era eddoboozi lye bwe liwulirwa, tewabaawo kisigala nga bwe kibadde.
After it a voice roareth; he thundereth with the voice of his majesty: and he stayeth them not when his voice is heard.
5 Eddoboozi lya Katonda libwatuka mu ngeri ey’ekitalo; akola ebintu ebikulu ebisukka okutegeera kwaffe.
God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Agamba omuzira nti, ‘Ggwa ku nsi,’ ate eri enkuba etonnya nti, ‘Ttonnya nnyo.’
For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Emirimu gya buli muntu giyimirira, buli omu n’alyoka amanya amaanyi ga Katonda.
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men whom he hath made may know [it].
8 Ensolo ne ziryoka zessogga empuku zaazo, ne zigenda zeekukuma.
Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
9 Omuyaga ne gulyoka guva mu nnyumba yaagwo, n’obunnyogovu ne buva mu mpewo ekuŋŋunta.
Out of the chamber [of the south] cometh the storm: and cold out of the north.
10 Omuzira ne guva mu mukka gwa Katonda n’amazzi amangi ne gekwata kitole.
By the breath of God ice is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Ebire abijjuza amatondo g’amazzi, n’asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu.
Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; he spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
12 Byetooloolatooloola nga y’abiragira, ne bituukiriza byonna by’abiragira, ku nsi yonna okubeera abantu.
And it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world.
13 Bwe kuba kubonereza, oba okufukirira ensi oba okulaga okwagala kwe, atonnyesa enkuba.
Whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for mercy, that he cause it to come.
14 “Wuliriza kino Yobu; sooka oyimirire olowooze ku bikolwa bya Katonda eby’ettendo.
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Omanyi Katonda engeri gy’alagiramu ebire, n’aleetera eggulu okumyansa?
Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, and causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Omanyi engeri ebire gye bituulamu mu bbanga, amakula g’emirimu gy’oyo eyatuukirira mu kumanya?
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 Ggwe alina ebyambalo ebibuguma, ensi bw’eba ng’ekkakkanyizibbwa embuyaga ez’obukiikaddyo,
How thy garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south [wind]?
18 oyinza okumwegattako ne mubamba eggulu, eryaguma ne libeera ng’endabirwamu ensanuuse?
Canst thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
19 “Tubuulire kye tunaamugamba; tetusobola kuwoza nsonga zaffe gy’ali olw’ekizikiza kye tulimu.
Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
20 Asaanidde okubuulirwa kye njagala okwogera? Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okusaba okumalibwawo?
Shall it be told him that I would speak? or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Kaakano tewali n’omu ayinza kutunula mu njuba, olw’engeri gy’eyakamu ku ggulu, ng’empewo emaze okuyita, n’eyelula ebire.
And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Mu bukiikakkono evaayo zaabu; Katonda ajja mu kitiibwa eky’amaanyi.
Out of the north cometh golden splendour: God hath upon him terrible majesty.
23 Ayinzabyonna tatuukikako era agulumidde mu maanyi, mu bwenkanya bwe era ne butuukirivu bwe, tawaliriza muntu yenna.
[Touching] the Almighty, we can not find him out; he is excellent in power: and in judgment and plenteous justice he will not afflict.
24 Noolwekyo abantu bamutya, takitwala ng’ekikulu olw’abo abeerowooza okuba abagezi mu mitima gyabwe.”
Men do therefore fear him: he regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
