Yobu 37
1 “Kino kikankanya omutima gwange, ne gubuuka okuva mu kifo kyagwo.
Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
2 Wuliriza okubwatuka kw’eddoboozi lye, n’okuwuluguma okuva mu kamwa ke.
Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
3 Asumulula eggulu ne limyansa wansi w’eggulu wonna, n’aliragira ligende ku nkomerero y’ensi.
Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts 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 roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
5 Eddoboozi lya Katonda libwatuka mu ngeri ey’ekitalo; akola ebintu ebikulu ebisukka okutegeera kwaffe.
God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
6 Agamba omuzira nti, ‘Ggwa ku nsi,’ ate eri enkuba etonnya nti, ‘Ttonnya nnyo.’
For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
7 Emirimu gya buli muntu giyimirira, buli omu n’alyoka amanya amaanyi ga Katonda.
Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
8 Ensolo ne ziryoka zessogga empuku zaazo, ne zigenda zeekukuma.
And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
9 Omuyaga ne gulyoka guva mu nnyumba yaagwo, n’obunnyogovu ne buva mu mpewo ekuŋŋunta.
From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
10 Omuzira ne guva mu mukka gwa Katonda n’amazzi amangi ne gekwata kitole.
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
11 Ebire abijjuza amatondo g’amazzi, n’asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu.
Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
12 Byetooloolatooloola nga y’abiragira, ne bituukiriza byonna by’abiragira, ku nsi yonna okubeera abantu.
And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
13 Bwe kuba kubonereza, oba okufukirira ensi oba okulaga okwagala kwe, atonnyesa enkuba.
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
14 “Wuliriza kino Yobu; sooka oyimirire olowooze ku bikolwa bya Katonda eby’ettendo.
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15 Omanyi Katonda engeri gy’alagiramu ebire, n’aleetera eggulu okumyansa?
Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
16 Omanyi engeri ebire gye bituulamu mu bbanga, amakula g’emirimu gy’oyo eyatuukirira mu kumanya?
Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
17 Ggwe alina ebyambalo ebibuguma, ensi bw’eba ng’ekkakkanyizibbwa embuyaga ez’obukiikaddyo,
How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
18 oyinza okumwegattako ne mubamba eggulu, eryaguma ne libeera ng’endabirwamu ensanuuse?
Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
19 “Tubuulire kye tunaamugamba; tetusobola kuwoza nsonga zaffe gy’ali olw’ekizikiza kye tulimu.
Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
20 Asaanidde okubuulirwa kye njagala okwogera? Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okusaba okumalibwawo?
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is 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, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
22 Mu bukiikakkono evaayo zaabu; Katonda ajja mu kitiibwa eky’amaanyi.
From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
23 Ayinzabyonna tatuukikako era agulumidde mu maanyi, mu bwenkanya bwe era ne butuukirivu bwe, tawaliriza muntu yenna.
The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
24 Noolwekyo abantu bamutya, takitwala ng’ekikulu olw’abo abeerowooza okuba abagezi mu mitima gyabwe.”
Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
