Yobu 26
1 Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,
Then Job answered and said:
2 “Wamuthandizadi munthu wopanda mphamvu! Walimbitsadi dzanja la munthu wofowoka!
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Wapereka malangizo kwa munthu amene alibe nzeru! Ndipotu waonetsadi nzeru zochuluka!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Kodi wakuthandiza ndani kuti uyankhule mawu awa? Ndipo ndi mzimu wa yani umene unayankhula pakamwa pako?
With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 “Mizimu ya anthu akufa ikunjenjemera pansi pa madzi, ndi zonse zokhala mʼmadzimo.
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Dziko la anthu akufa ndi lapululu pamaso pa Mulungu; chiwonongeko ndi chosaphimbidwa. (Sheol h7585)
The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Mulungu anayala thambo la kumpoto pa phompho; Iye anakoloweka dziko lapansi mʼmalo mwake pamene panali popanda nʼkanthu komwe.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
8 Amasunga madzi ambiri mʼmitambo yake, koma mitamboyo siphulika chifukwa cha kulemera kwa madziwo.
He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Iye amaphimba mwezi wowala, amawuphimba ndi mitambo yake.
He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
10 Mulungu anawalembera madzi malire wonga uta, kukhala malire pakati pa kuwunika ndi mdima.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Mizati yochirikiza mitambo yakumwamba imanjenjemera, ndi kudabwa pa kudzudzula kwake.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
12 Ndi mphamvu zake anatontholetsa nyanja; ndi nzeru zake anakantha chirombo cha mʼmadzi chija chotchedwa Rahabe.
He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
13 Ndi mpweya wake anayeretsa zamumlengalenga, dzanja lake linapha chinjoka chothawa chija.
By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
14 Zimenezi ndi pangʼono chabe mwa ntchito yake; tingomva pangʼono za Iye ngati kunongʼona! Kodi ndani angathe kudziwa kukula kwa mphamvu zake?”
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?
