Job 26

1 And Job answered and said,

Kisha Ayubu akajibu:

2 How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!

“Tazama jinsi ulivyomsaidia mtu asiye na uwezo! Jinsi ulivyouokoa mkono ulio dhaifu!

3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!

Ni shauri gani ulilompa yeye asiye na hekima? Nayo ni busara gani kubwa uliyoonyesha!

4 For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Ni nani aliyekusaidia kutamka maneno hayo? Nayo ni roho ya nani iliyosema kutoka kinywani mwako?

5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;

“Wafu wako katika maumivu makuu, wale walio chini ya maji na wale waishio ndani yake.

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

Mauti iko wazi mbele za Mungu; Uharibifu haukufunikwa. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;

Hutandaza anga la kaskazini mahali patupu; naye huiningʼiniza dunia mahali pasipo na kitu.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.

Huyafungia maji kwenye mawingu yake, hata hivyo mawingu hayapasuki kwa uzito wake.

9 He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Huufunika uso wa mwezi mpevu, akitandaza mawingu juu yake.

10 He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

Amechora mstari wa upeo juu ya uso wa maji, ameweka mpaka wa nuru na giza.

11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

Nguzo za mbingu nazo zatetemeka, zinatishika anapozikemea.

12 He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

Kwa nguvu zake aliisukasuka bahari; kwa hekima yake alimkata Rahabu vipande vipande.

13 By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.

Aliisafisha anga kwa pumzi yake; kwa mkono wake alimchoma joka aendaye mbio.

14 Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?

Haya ni mambo madogo tu katika matendo yake; tazama jinsi ulivyo mdogo mnongʼono tunaousikia kumhusu! Ni nani basi awezaye kuelewa ngurumo za nguvu zake?”
