Job 26

1 Then answered Job, and said,

Kisha Ayubu akajibu na kusema,

2 What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?

“Mmemsaidiaje aliyedhaifu!

3 How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?

Jinsi gani mmemshauri asiye na hekima na kutamka maneno yenye maarifa kwake!

4 To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Kwa msaada wa nani mmesema maneno haya? Ni roho ya nani iliyotoka ndani yenu?

5 The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.

Maiti inatetemeka chini ya maji, na vyote wilivyomo ndani yake.

6 Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)

Kuzimu kuko wazi mbele ya Mungu; uharibifu hauna kizuizi dhidi yake. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;

Huitandaza kaskazi juu ya nafasi wazi na kuining'iniza dunia hewani.

8 He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;

Huyafunga maji katika mawingu yake mazito, lakini hayagawanyiki chini yake.

9 He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;

Huufunika uso wa mwezi na kueneza mawingu yake juu yake.

10 A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.

Amechora ukingo wa duara juu ya maji kama mpaka kati ya nuru na giza.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.

Nguzo za mbinguni zinatikisika na zimestushwa na kukemea kwake.

12 By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:

Aliituliza bahari kwa uwezo wake; kwa ufahamu wake alimwaribu Rahab

13 By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.

Kwa pumzi yake, aliziondoa mbingu kwa dhorubu; mbingu ziliondolewa kwa dhorubu; mkono wake ulimchoma nyoka anayekimbia.

14 Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] 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.
