Job 26

1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,

Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,

2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?

“Wamuthandizadi munthu wopanda mphamvu! Walimbitsadi dzanja la munthu wofowoka!

3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.

Wapereka malangizo kwa munthu amene alibe nzeru! Ndipotu waonetsadi nzeru zochuluka!

4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?

Kodi wakuthandiza ndani kuti uyankhule mawu awa? Ndipo ndi mzimu wa yani umene unayankhula pakamwa pako?

5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.

“Mizimu ya anthu akufa ikunjenjemera pansi pa madzi, ndi zonse zokhala mʼmadzimo.

6 The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)

Dziko la anthu akufa ndi lapululu pamaso pa Mulungu; chiwonongeko ndi chosaphimbidwa. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.

Mulungu anayala thambo la kumpoto pa phompho; Iye anakoloweka dziko lapansi mʼmalo mwake pamene panali popanda nʼkanthu komwe.

8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.

Amasunga madzi ambiri mʼmitambo yake, koma mitamboyo siphulika chifukwa cha kulemera kwa madziwo.

9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.

Iye amaphimba mwezi wowala, amawuphimba ndi mitambo yake.

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.

Mulungu anawalembera madzi malire wonga uta, kukhala malire pakati pa kuwunika ndi mdima.

11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.

Mizati yochirikiza mitambo yakumwamba imanjenjemera, ndi kudabwa pa kudzudzula kwake.

12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.

Ndi mphamvu zake anatontholetsa nyanja; ndi nzeru zake anakantha chirombo cha mʼmadzi chija chotchedwa Rahabe.

13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Ndi mpweya wake anayeretsa zamumlengalenga, dzanja lake linapha chinjoka chothawa chija.

14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?

Zimenezi ndi pangʼono chabe mwa ntchito yake; tingomva pangʼono za Iye ngati kunongʼona! Kodi ndani angathe kudziwa kukula kwa mphamvu zake?”
