Yobu Ayanukula
1Awo Yobu n’addamu n’ayogera nti,
2“Muwulirize n’obwegendereza ebigambo byange,
era kino kibazzeemu amaanyi.
321:3 Yob 16:10Mungumiikirizeeko nga njogera,
oluvannyuma museke.
421:4 Yob 6:11“Okwemulugunya kwange nkw’olekezza muntu?
Lwaki okugumiikiriza tekunzigwako?
521:5 Bal 18:19; Yob 29:9; 40:4Muntunuulire mwewuunye,
mujja kukwata ne ku mumwa.
6Bwe ndowooza ku kino, nfuna entiisa;
omubiri gwange ne gukankana.
721:7 Yob 12:6; Zab 73:3; Yer 12:1; Kbk 1:13Lwaki abakozi b’ebibi bawangaala,
ne bakaddiwa ne beeyongera n’amaanyi?
821:8 Zab 17:14Balaba abaana baabwe bwe banywezebbwa,
ezzadde lyabwe nga balaba.
921:9 Zab 73:5Amaka gaabwe gaba n’emirembe nga temuli kutya;
omuggo gwa Katonda tegubabeerako.
1021:10 Kuv 23:26Ennume zaabwe teziremererwa,
ente zaabwe enkazi zizaala awatali kusowola mwana gwazo.
11Abaana baabwe bagendera wamu nga kisibo;
obuto ne bubeera mu kuzina.
1221:12 Zab 81:2Bayimbira ku bitaasa n’ennanga,
ne basanyukira eddoboozi ly’omulere.
1321:13 Yob 36:11Emyaka gyabwe gyonna babeera bulungi,
mangwago ne bakka mu ntaana.
1421:14 a Yob 22:17 b Nge 1:29Kyokka bagamba Katonda nti, ‘Tulekere emirembe gyaffe!
Tetwegomba kumanya makubo go.
1521:15 Kuv 5:2; Yob 34:9; Mal 3:14Ayinzabyonna ye ani tulyoke tumuweereze?
Kiki kye tuganyulwa bwe tumusaba?’
16Naye obugagga bwabwe tebuli mu mikono gyabwe,
noolwekyo amagezi g’abakozi b’ebibi ganneewunyisa.
1721:17 Yob 18:5“Ettaala y’abakozi b’ebibi yo, ezikira emirundi emeka?
Ennaku ebajjira emirundi emeka?
Katonda abatuusaako obulumi, ng’abasunguwalidde.
1821:18 Yob 13:25; Zab 1:4Bali ng’ebisasiro ebitwaalibwa empewo;
ng’ebisusunku embuyaga bye zitwala.
1921:19 Kuv 20:5; Yer 31:29; Ez 18:2Katonda abonereza abaana olw’ekibi kya bakitaabwe.
Asasule omuntu yennyini oyo alyoke ategeere!
2021:20 a Zab 75:8; Is 51:17 b Yer 25:15; Kub 14:10Leka amaaso ge ye yennyini galabe okuzikirira;
leka anywe ku kiruyi kya Ayinzabyonna.
2121:21 Yob 14:5Kubanga aba afaayo ki ku maka g’aba alese,
nga emyezi gye egyamutegekerwa giweddeko?
2221:22 a Yob 35:11; 36:22; Is 40:13-14; Bar 11:34 b Zab 82:1“Eriyo ayinza okuyigiriza Katonda amagezi,
kubanga asalira omusango n’abo abasinga okuba aba waggulu?
23Omusajja omu afiira w’abeerera ow’amaanyi,
nga munywevu ddala ali mu mirembe gye,
2421:24 Nge 3:8omubiri gwe nga guliisiddwa bulungi,
amagumba ge nga gajjudde obusomyo.
25Omusajja omulala n’afa ng’alina obulumi ku mutima,
nga teyafuna kintu kyonna kirungi.
2621:26 Yob 24:20; Mub 9:2-3; Is 14:11Ne beebaka kye kimu mu ttaka,
envunyu ne zibabikka bombi.
27“Mmanyi bulungi ddala kye mulowooza,
enkwe ze mwagala okunsalira.
2821:28 a Yob 1:3; 12:21; 31:37 b Yob 8:22Mugamba nti, ‘Kaakano eruwa ennyumba y’omusajja ow’amaanyi,
eweema abasajja abakozi b’ebibi mwe baabeeranga?’
29Temwebuuzanga ku abo abatambula eŋŋendo?
Temukkiriza bye babagamba,
3021:30 a Nge 16:4 b Yob 20:22, 28; 2Pe 2:9nti omusajja omukozi w’ebibi awona ku lunaku olw’emitawaana,
era awona ku lunaku olw’ekiruyi?
31Ani avumirira ebikolwa bye maaso ku maaso,
ani amusasula ebyo by’akoze?
32Atwalibwa ku ntaana,
era amalaalo ge gakuumibwa.
3321:33 a Yob 3:22; 17:16; 24:24 b Yob 3:19Ettaka eriri mu lusenyi limuwoomera,
abantu bonna bamugoberera,
n’abalala abatamanyiddwa muwendo ne bamukulembera.
3421:34 Yob 16:2“Kaakano musobola mutya okuŋŋumya n’ebitaliimu?
Tewali kisigaddeyo ku bye mwanzizeemu wabula obulimba!”
1But Job answered and said, 2Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. 3Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. 4As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?21.4 troubled: Heb. shortened? 5Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.21.5 Mark…: Heb. Look unto me 6Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
7Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? 8Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. 9Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.21.9 safe…: Heb. peace from 10Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 11They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. 12They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. 13They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.21.13 in wealth: or, in mirth 14Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 15What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? 16Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.21.17 candle: or, lamp 18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.21.18 carrieth: Heb. stealeth 19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.21.19 his iniquity: that is, the punishment of his iniquity 20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 21For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? 22Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. 23One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.21.23 his…: Heb. his very, or, the strength of, his perfection 24His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.21.24 breasts: or, milk pails 25And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. 26They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
27Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. 28For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?21.28 the dwelling…: Heb. the tent of the tabernacles 29Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, 30That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.21.30 wrath: Heb. wraths 31Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? 32Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.21.32 grave: Heb. graves21.32 remain…: Heb. watch in the heap 33The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. 34How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?21.34 falsehood: Heb. transgression?
