< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered and said:
Kisha Ayubu akajibu na kusema,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
“Mmemsaidiaje aliyedhaifu!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Jinsi gani mmemshauri asiye na hekima na kutamka maneno yenye maarifa kwake!
4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
Kwa msaada wa nani mmesema maneno haya? Ni roho ya nani iliyotoka ndani yenu?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
Maiti inatetemeka chini ya maji, na vyote wilivyomo ndani yake.
6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Kuzimu kuko wazi mbele ya Mungu; uharibifu hauna kizuizi dhidi yake. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
Huitandaza kaskazi juu ya nafasi wazi na kuining'iniza dunia hewani.
8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Huyafunga maji katika mawingu yake mazito, lakini hayagawanyiki chini yake.
9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
Huufunika uso wa mwezi na kueneza mawingu yake juu yake.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Amechora ukingo wa duara juu ya maji kama mpaka kati ya nuru na giza.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
Nguzo za mbinguni zinatikisika na zimestushwa na kukemea kwake.
12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
Aliituliza bahari kwa uwezo wake; kwa ufahamu wake alimwaribu Rahab
13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
Kwa pumzi yake, aliziondoa mbingu kwa dhorubu; mbingu ziliondolewa kwa dhorubu; mkono wake ulimchoma nyoka anayekimbia.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
Tazama, hizi si zaidi ya madogo ya njia zake; Jinsi gani tunasikia akitunong'oneza! Ni nani awezaye kufahamu uwezo wake.
