Job 26

1 Then Job answered and said:

Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,

2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

“Ng’oyambye oyo atalina maanyi! Ng’oyambye omukono ogwo ogutalina maanyi!

3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

Ng’amagezi ga kitalo ago g’owadde oyo atalina magezi! Ng’owadde okuluŋŋamizibwa okuyitirivu!

4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

Ani akuyambye okwogera ebigambo ebyo? Era mwoyo ki ogwogeredde mu kamwa ko?

5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

“Abafu kye balimu tekigumiikirizika, n’abo abali wansi w’amazzi ne bonna abagabeeramu.

6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)

Amagombe gali bwereere mu maaso ga Katonda; n’okuzikiriza tekulina kikubisse. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.

Ayanjuluza eggulu ery’obukiikakkono mu bbanga ejjereere, awanika ensi awatali kigiwanirira.

8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Asiba amazzi mu bire bye; ate ebire tebyabika olw’okuzitoowererwa.

9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.

Abikka obwenyi bw’omwezi, agwanjululizaako ebire bye.

10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

Ateekawo ekipimo ekiraga waggulu amazzi g’ennyanja we gayita, ng’ensalo eyawula ekitangaala n’ekizikiza.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.

Empagi z’eggulu zikankana, zeewuunya olw’okunenya kwe.

12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.

Afuukuula ennyanja n’obuyinza bwe, n’asalaasala Lakabu mu bitundutundu n’amagezi ge.

13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.

Yafuuwa omukka ogwatereeza eggulu, omukono gwe gwafumita omusota oguwulukuka.

14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?

Naye nga bino katundu butundu ku bye yakola. Nga kye tumuwulirako katundu butundu ku ekyo ky’ali! Ani ayinza okutegeera okubwatuka kw’obuyinza bwe?”
