Job 38
1 Forsothe the Lord answeride fro the whirlewynd to Joob,
Ndipo Yahweh alimwita Ayubu kutoka katika dhoruba kali na kumwambia,
2 and seide, Who is this man, wlappynge sentences with vnwise wordis?
“Huyu ni nani aletaye giza katika mipango kwa njia ya maneno bila maarifa?
3 Girde thou as a man thi leendis; Y schal axe thee, and answere thou to me.
Basi sasa jifunge kiunoni mwako kama mwanaume kwa kuwa nitakuuliza maswali, nawe lazima unijibu.
4 Where were thou, whanne Y settide the foundementis of erthe? schewe thou to me, if thou hast vndurstondyng.
Wewe ulikuwa wapi wakati nilipoitandaza misingi ya dunia? Niambie, kama unao ufahamu zaidi.
5 Who settide mesures therof, if thou knowist? ethir who stretchide forth a lyne theronne?
Je ni nani aliyeamuru vipimo vyake? Niambie, kama unajua, ni nani alivinyosha vipimo juu yake?
6 On what thing ben the foundementis therof maad fast? ether who sente doun the corner stoon therof,
Misingi yake ilitandazwa juu ya nini? Ni nani aliyeliweka jiwe lake la pembeni
7 whanne the morew sterris herieden me togidere, and alle the sones of God sungun ioyfuli?
wakati nyota za asubuhi zilipoimba pamoja na wana wote wa Mungu walipopiga kelele kwa furaha?
8 Who closide togidere the see with doris, whanne it brak out comynge forth as of the wombe?
Ni nani huifunga bahari kwa milango wakati inapofurika, kana kwamba inatoka katika tumbo,
9 Whanne Y settide a cloude the hilyng therof, and Y wlappide it with derknesse, as with clothis of yong childhed.
wakati nilipoyafanya mawingu kuwa ni mavazi yake, na giza nene kuwa mkanda wake wa kujifungia?
10 Y cumpasside it with my termes, and Y settide a barre, and doris;
Hapo ilikuwa wakati nilipoweka bahari mpaka wangu, na nilipoweka makomeo yake na milango,
11 and Y seide, `Til hidur thou schalt come, and thou schalt not go forth ferthere; and here thou schalt breke togidere thi bolnynge wawis.
na wakati nilipoiambia, 'Unaweza kuja hapa kutoka mbali, lakini si zaidi; na hapa ndipo nitauweka mpaka kwa fahari ya mawimbi yako.'
12 Whethir aftir thi birthe thou comaundist to the bigynnyng of dai, and schewidist to the morewtid his place?
Je tangu mwanzo wa siku zako, ulishawahi kuigiza asubuhi ianze, na kuyafanya mapambazuko yajue sehemu yake katika mpangilio wa vitu,
13 Whethir thou heldist schakynge togidere the laste partis of erthe, and schakedist awei wickid men therfro?
ili kwamba ishikilie sehemu za dunia ili watu waovu watikiswe mbali nayo.
14 A seeling schal be restorid as cley, and it schal stonde as a cloth.
Dunia imebadilishwa katika mwonekano kama udongo unavyobadilika chini ya muhuri; vitu vyote husimama juu yake dhahiri kama cha kibindo cha nguo.
15 The liyt of wickid men schal be takun awey fro hem, and an hiy arm schal be brokun.
'Mwanga' wao umeondolewa kutoka kwa watu waovu; na mkono wao ulioinuliwa umevunjwa.
16 Whethir thou entridist in to the depthe of the see, and walkidist in the laste partis of the occian?
Je umeshaenda kwenye vyanzo vya maji ya bahari? Je umeshatembea sehemu za chini kabisa za kilindi?
17 Whether the yatis of deeth ben openyd to thee, and `siest thou the derk doris?
Je malango ya mauti yamefunuliwa kwako? Je umeshaona malango ya uvuli wa mauti?
18 Whethir thou hast biholde the brede of erthe? Schewe thou to me, if thou knowist alle thingis,
Je umeifahamu dunia katika upana wake? Niambie kama unayajua yote hayo.
19 in what weie the liyt dwellith, and which is the place of derknesse;
Je iko wapi njia ya sehemu ya kupumzikia kwa mwanga, na kama ilivyo kwa giza, iko wapi sehemu yake?
20 that thou lede ech thing to hise termes, and thou vndurstonde the weies of his hows.
Je unaweza kuuongoza mwanga na giza katika sehemu zake za kazi? Waweza kuitambua njia ya kurudi katika nyumba zao?
21 Wistist thou thanne, that thou schuldist be borun, and knew thou the noumbre of thi daies?
Bila shaka unajua, kwa kuwa ulizaliwa wakati huo; hesabu ya siku zako ni kubwa sana!
22 Whethir thou entridist in to the tresours of snow, ether biheldist thou the tresours of hail?
Je ulishaingia katika ghala ya barafu, au umeshaiona ghala ya mawe ya mvua,
23 whiche thingis Y made redy in to the tyme of an enemy, in to the dai of fiytyng and of batel.
vitu hivi nimeviweka kwa ajili ya siku za mateso, kwa siku za mapigano na vita?
24 Bi what weie is the liyt spred abrood, heete is departid on erthe?
Je iko wapi njia ya mshindo wa mwanga hutokea au je upepo husambazwa kutoka mashariki juu ya dunia?
25 Who yaf cours to the strongeste reyn,
Ni nani aliyezitengeneza mifereji ya gharika ya mvua, au ni nani aliyezifanya njia za milipuko ya radi,
26 and weie of the thundur sownynge? That it schulde reyne on the erthe with out man in desert, where noon of deedli men dwellith?
na kuifanya mvua inyeshe juu ya nchi ambazo hakuna mtu aishiye ndani yake, na juu ya jangwa, ambayo ndani yake hakuna mtu yeyote,
27 That it schulde fille a lond with out weie and desolat, and schulde brynge forth greene eerbis?
kwa kusudi la kutimiza mahitaji ya mikoa iliyo kame na yenye ukiwa, na kuyastawisha majani mororo?
28 Who is fadir of reyn, ether who gendride the dropis of deew?
Je kuna baba wa mvua? Ni nani aliyeyafanya matone ya umande?
29 Of whos wombe yede out iys, and who gendride frost fro heuene?
Je barafu ilitoka katika tumbo la nani? Na ni nani aliyeizaa theluji nyeupe katika anga?
30 Watris ben maad hard in the licnesse of stoon, and the ouer part of occian is streyned togidere.
Maji hujificha menyewe na kuwa kama jiwe; sehemu za juu za vilindi huwa kama barafu.
31 Whether thou schalt mowe ioyne togidere schynynge sterris Pliades, ethir thou schalt mowe distrie the cumpas of Arturis?
Je unaweza kuzifunga minyororo ya Kilimia, au kuvifungua vifundo vya Orioni?
32 Whether thou bryngist forth Lucifer, `that is, dai sterre, in his tyme, and makist euene sterre to rise on the sones of erthe?
Je unaweza kuziongoza nyota kutokea katika nyakati zake? Je waweza kuongoza dubu pamoja na watoto wake?
33 Whether thou knowist the ordre of heuene, and schalt sette the resoun therof in erthe?
Je unazijua sheria za anga? Wewe uliweza kuanzisha sheria za anga juu ya dunia?
34 Whethir thou schalt reise thi vois in to a cloude, and the fersnesse of watris schal hile thee?
Je waweza kupaza sauti yako hadi mawinguni, ili kwamba maji mengi ya mvua yakufunike?
35 Whethir thou schalt sende leitis, and tho schulen go, and tho schulen turne ayen, and schulen seie to thee, We ben present?
Je waweza kuagiza miali ya mwanga ili itokee, na kukwambia, 'Sisi tupo hapa'?
36 Who puttide wisdoom in the entrailis of man, ethir who yaf vndurstondyng to the cok?
Ni nani ameweka hekima katika mawingu au ni nani ameweka ufahamu kwa ukungu?
37 Who schal telle out the resoun of heuenes, and who schal make acordyng of heuene to sleep?
Nani anaweza kuyahesabu mawingu kwa maarifa yake? Na ni nani awezaye kuvimwaga viriba vya anga
38 Whanne dust was foundid in the erthe, and clottis weren ioyned togidere?
wakati mavumbi yanapoungana kuwa kitu kigumu na mabonge ya dunia yanaposhikama kwa pamoja?
39 Whether thou schalt take prey to the lionesse, and schalt fille the soulis of hir whelpis,
Je waweza kuwinda mawindo kwa ajili ya simba jike au kutosheleza hamu ya watoto wadogo wa simba
40 whanne tho liggen in caues, and aspien in dennes?
wakati wanapokwaruza kwaruza katika pango lao na kukaa katika kificho ili kulala katika hali ya kuvizia?
41 Who makith redi for the crowe his mete, whanne hise briddis crien to God, and wandren aboute, for tho han not meetis?
Ni nani aletaye mawindo kwa ajili ya kunguru wakati ambapo watoto wao wanapomlilia Mungu na kutangatanga kwa kukosa chakula?
