Job 26

1 Then Job answered, and said:

Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:

2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?

“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!

3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.

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

4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?

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

5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.

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

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

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

7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

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

8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.

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

9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.

Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.

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

11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.

Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.

12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.

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

13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.

Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.

14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?

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