Job 26
1 And Job answers and says:
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
Umsize njani ongelamandla, wasindisa ingalo engelamandla?
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
Umeluleke njani ongelakuhlakanipha, watshumayela ngobunengi ulwazi oluqotho?
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
Utshele bani amazwi? Njalo ngumoya kabani ophume kuwe?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Abafileyo bayathuthumela ngaphansi kwamanzi, labahlali bawo.
Isihogo sinqunu phambi kwakhe, lencithakalo kayilasisibekelo. (Sheol h7585)
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
Welulela inyakatho phezu kwendawo engelalutho, aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
Uyabophela amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawadabuki ngaphansi kwawo.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
Uyasibekela ubuso besihlalo sakhe sobukhosi, endlale iyezi phezu kwaso.
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
Udwebe umngcele oyisigombolozi phezu kobuso bamanzi, kuze kube sekucineni kokukhanya lomnyama.
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Insika zamazulu ziyathuthumela, zethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
Ngamandla akhe uthulisa ulwandle, langenhlakanipho yakhe uphahlaza ukuziqhenya.
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
Ngomoya wakhe ucecise amazulu; isandla sakhe sagwaza inyoka ebalekayo.
14 Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
Khangela, lokhu kungamaphethelo ezindlela zakhe; kodwa kuzwakala into encinyane kangakanani ngaye! Kanti umdumo wamandla akhe ngubani ongawuqedisisa?
