Job 26
1 Then Job answered:
Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
“Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.
Sheori yakashama pamberi paMwari; kuparadza hakuna kufukidzwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.
14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
