Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:

2 To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?

“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!

3 To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?

Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!

4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?

Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?

5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?

“Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.

6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)

Sheori yakashama pamberi paMwari; kuparadza hakuna kufukidzwa. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;

Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.

8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.

Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.

9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.

Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.

10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.

Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.

11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.

Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.

12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.

Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.

13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.

Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.

14 Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?

Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
