23 Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
2 (A)“N’okutuusa leero okwemulugunya kwange kubalagala,
omukono gwe gunzitoowerera wadde mbadde mu kusinda.
3 Singa nnali mmanyi aw’okumusanga
nandisobodde okulaga gy’abeera!
4 (B)Nanditutte empoza yange gy’ali,
akamwa kange nga nkajjuzizza ensonga zange.
5 Nanditegedde kye yandinzizeemu,
ne neetegereza kye yandiŋŋambye.
6 (C)Yandimpakanyizza n’amaanyi mangi?
Nedda, teyandinteeseko musango.
7 (D)Eyo omuntu omutuukirivu asobola okutwalayo ensonga ye,
era nandisumuluddwa omulamuzi wange emirembe n’emirembe.
8 “Bwe ŋŋenda ebuvanjuba, nga taliiyo;
ne bwe ŋŋenda ebugwanjuba, simusangayo.
9 (E)Bw’aba akola mu bukiikakkono simulaba,
bw’adda mu bukiikaddyo, simulabako.
10 (F)Naye amanyi amakubo mwe mpita,
bw’anaamala okungezesa, nzija kuvaamu nga zaabu.
11 (G)Ebigere byange bimugoberedde;
ntambulidde mu makubo ge nga sikyamakyama.
12 (H)Saava ku biragiro by’akamwa ke.
Nayagala ebigambo by’akamwa ke okusinga emmere yange gyendya bulijjo.
13 (I)“Naye yeemalirira, ani ayinza okumuwakanya?
Akola kyonna ekimusanyusa.
14 (J)Weewaawo ajja kutuukiriza by’asazzeewo okunjolekeza,
era bingi byategese by’akyaleeta.
15 Kyenva mba n’entiisa nga ndi mu maaso ge;
bwe ndowooza ku bino byonna, ne mmutya.
16 (K)Katonda anafuyizza nnyo omutima gwange,
Ayinzabyonna antiisizza nnyo.
17 (L)Naye ekizikiza tekinsirisizza,
ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo ekibisse amaaso gange.”
Job 23
King James Version
23 Then Job answered and said,
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
