< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered:
Kisha Ayubu akajibu na kusema,
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
“Mmemsaidiaje aliyedhaifu!
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
Jinsi gani mmemshauri asiye na hekima na kutamka maneno yenye maarifa kwake!
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
Kwa msaada wa nani mmesema maneno haya? Ni roho ya nani iliyotoka ndani yenu?
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Maiti inatetemeka chini ya maji, na vyote wilivyomo ndani yake.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Kuzimu kuko wazi mbele ya Mungu; uharibifu hauna kizuizi dhidi yake. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
Huitandaza kaskazi juu ya nafasi wazi na kuining'iniza dunia hewani.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
Huyafunga maji katika mawingu yake mazito, lakini hayagawanyiki chini yake.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
Huufunika uso wa mwezi na kueneza mawingu yake juu yake.
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
Amechora ukingo wa duara juu ya maji kama mpaka kati ya nuru na giza.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
Nguzo za mbinguni zinatikisika na zimestushwa na kukemea kwake.
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
Aliituliza bahari kwa uwezo wake; kwa ufahamu wake alimwaribu Rahab
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Kwa pumzi yake, aliziondoa mbingu kwa dhorubu; mbingu ziliondolewa kwa dhorubu; mkono wake ulimchoma nyoka anayekimbia.
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?”
Tazama, hizi si zaidi ya madogo ya njia zake; Jinsi gani tunasikia akitunong'oneza! Ni nani awezaye kufahamu uwezo wake.
