Job 26
1 Job replied,
Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
“Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.
Sheori yakashama pamberi paMwari; kuparadza hakuna kufukidzwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
