< Job 26 >

1 And Job answers and says:
Kisha Ayubu akajibu:
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
“Tazama jinsi ulivyomsaidia mtu asiye na uwezo! Jinsi ulivyouokoa mkono ulio dhaifu!
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
Ni shauri gani ulilompa yeye asiye na hekima? Nayo ni busara gani kubwa uliyoonyesha!
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
Ni nani aliyekusaidia kutamka maneno hayo? Nayo ni roho ya nani iliyosema kutoka kinywani mwako?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
“Wafu wako katika maumivu makuu, wale walio chini ya maji na wale waishio ndani yake.
6 Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
Mauti iko wazi mbele za Mungu; Uharibifu haukufunikwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
Hutandaza anga la kaskazini mahali patupu; naye huiningʼiniza dunia mahali pasipo na kitu.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
Huyafungia maji kwenye mawingu yake, hata hivyo mawingu hayapasuki kwa uzito wake.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
Huufunika uso wa mwezi mpevu, akitandaza mawingu juu yake.
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
Amechora mstari wa upeo juu ya uso wa maji, ameweka mpaka wa nuru na giza.
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Nguzo za mbingu nazo zatetemeka, zinatishika anapozikemea.
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
Kwa nguvu zake aliisukasuka bahari; kwa hekima yake alimkata Rahabu vipande vipande.
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
Aliisafisha anga kwa pumzi yake; kwa mkono wake alimchoma joka aendaye mbio.
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?”
Haya ni mambo madogo tu katika matendo yake; tazama jinsi ulivyo mdogo mnongʼono tunaousikia kumhusu! Ni nani basi awezaye kuelewa ngurumo za nguvu zake?”
