Job 26

1 And Job answereth and saith: —

Kisha Ayubu akajibu:

2 What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

“Tazama jinsi ulivyomsaidia mtu asiye na uwezo! Jinsi ulivyouokoa mkono ulio dhaifu!

3 What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

Ni shauri gani ulilompa yeye asiye na hekima? Nayo ni busara gani kubwa uliyoonyesha!

4 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

Ni nani aliyekusaidia kutamka maneno hayo? Nayo ni roho ya nani iliyosema kutoka kinywani mwako?

5 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

“Wafu wako katika maumivu makuu, wale walio chini ya maji na wale waishio ndani yake.

6 Naked [is] Sheol over-against 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 upon 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 rent under them.

Huyafungia maji kwenye mawingu yake, hata hivyo mawingu hayapasuki kwa uzito wake.

9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

Huufunika uso wa mwezi mpevu, akitandaza mawingu juu yake.

10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto 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 do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

Nguzo za mbingu nazo zatetemeka, zinatishika anapozikemea.

12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

Kwa nguvu zake aliisukasuka bahari; kwa hekima yake alimkata Rahabu vipande vipande.

13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

Aliisafisha anga kwa pumzi yake; kwa mkono wake alimchoma joka aendaye mbio.

14 Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?

Haya ni mambo madogo tu katika matendo yake; tazama jinsi ulivyo mdogo mnongʼono tunaousikia kumhusu! Ni nani basi awezaye kuelewa ngurumo za nguvu zake?”
