ne ntuula ku ntebe mu kifo we baakubiranga enkiiko,
8 abavubuka abato bandabanga ne badda ebbali,
abakadde ne basituka ne bayimirira;
9 (G)abakungu ab’oku ntikko ne balekeraawo okwogera,
ne bakwata ne ku mimwa;
10 (H)ab’ebitiibwa ne balekeraawo okwogera,
ennimi zaabwe ne zeesibira waggulu mu kamwa.
11 Buli kutu okwampuliranga nga kwesiima,
era n’abo abandabanga nga basiima
12 (I)kubanga nawonyanga abaavu abaakaabiranga obuyambi,
n’abatalina bakitaabwe abatalina abayamba.

ne ndeetera omutima gwa nnamwandu okuyimba.
14 (K)Ne nnyambala obutuukirivu ng’engoye zange,
obwenkanya bwe bwali omunagiro gwange era ekitambala kye neesiba ku mutwe.
15 (L)Nnali maaso g’abamuzibe

16 (M)Nnali kitaawe w’abanaku,
ne nneyama okuwolereza besimanyiiko.
17 (N)Namenyanga amannyo g’abakozi b’ebibi,
ne nziggya mu kamwa kaabwe, be baali bakutte.
18 (O)“Nalowooza nti, ‘Ndifiira mu nnyumba yange
nga mpezezza ennaku zange nga nnyingi ng’omusenyu ogw’oku nnyanja.
19 (P)Omulandira gwange gulituuka mu mazzi,
era n’omusulo gulibeera ku ttabi lyange okukeesa obudde.
20 (Q)Ekitiibwa kyange tekirikaddiwa mu nze,
n’omutego gwange ogw’akasaale gusigale nga tegukaddiye mu mukono gwange.’
21 “Abantu beesunganga okumpuliriza,
nga balindirira mu kasirise amagezi gange.
22 (R)Bwe namalanga okwogera, nga tewaba addayo kwogera,
ebigambo byange byagwanga mpola mpola mu matu gaabwe.
23 Bannindiriranga ng’enkuba
ne banywa ebigambo byange ng’enkuba eya ttoggo.
24 Bwe nabamwenyeranga nga tebakikkiriza;
ekitangaala ky’oku maaso gange kyali kya muwendo gye bali.
25 (S)Nabasalirangawo eky’okukola,
ne ntuula nga kabaka n’amaggye ge;
nnali ng’abo ababeesabeesa abakungubazi.”

Job’s Final Defense
29 Job continued his discourse:(A)
2 “How I long for the months gone by,(B)
for the days when God watched over me,(C)
3 when his lamp shone on my head
and by his light I walked through darkness!(D)
4 Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,
when God’s intimate friendship(E) blessed my house,(F)
5 when the Almighty was still with me
and my children(G) were around me,(H)
6 when my path was drenched with cream(I)
and the rock(J) poured out for me streams of olive oil.(K)
7 “When I went to the gate(L) of the city
and took my seat in the public square,
8 the young men saw me and stepped aside(M)
and the old men rose to their feet;(N)
9 the chief men refrained from speaking(O)
and covered their mouths with their hands;(P)
10 the voices of the nobles were hushed,(Q)
and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.(R)
11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,(S)
12 because I rescued the poor(T) who cried for help,
and the fatherless(U) who had none to assist them.(V)
13 The one who was dying blessed me;(W)
I made the widow’s(X) heart sing.
14 I put on righteousness(Y) as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.(Z)
15 I was eyes(AA) to the blind
and feet to the lame.(AB)
16 I was a father to the needy;(AC)
I took up the case(AD) of the stranger.(AE)
17 I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims(AF) from their teeth.(AG)
18 “I thought, ‘I will die in my own house,
my days as numerous as the grains of sand.(AH)
19 My roots will reach to the water,(AI)
and the dew will lie all night on my branches.(AJ)
20 My glory will not fade;(AK)
the bow(AL) will be ever new in my hand.’(AM)
21 “People listened to me expectantly,
waiting in silence for my counsel.(AN)
22 After I had spoken, they spoke no more;(AO)
my words fell gently on their ears.(AP)
23 They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.(AQ)
24 When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face(AR) was precious to them.[a](AS)
25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;(AT)
I dwelt as a king(AU) among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.(AV)
