UJobe 26
1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:
And Job answers and says:
2 “Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”
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?”
