< Job 26 >
1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2 whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
“Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
3 To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
4 Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
5 Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
6 Helle is nakid bifor hym, and noon hilyng is to perdicioun. (Sheol )
UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha. (Sheol )
7 Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
8 `Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
9 `Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
10 He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
11 The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
12 In the strengthe of hym the sees weren gaderid togidere sudeynly, and his prudence smoot the proude.
Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
13 His spiryt ournede heuenes, and the crokid serpent was led out bi his hond, ledynge out as a mydwijf ledith out a child.
Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
14 Lo! these thingis ben seid in partie of `hise weyes; and whanne we han herd vnnethis a litil drope of his word, who may se the thundur of his greetnesse?
Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”
