UJobe 26
1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:
Then Job answered,
2 “Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
"How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
"Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
By his Ruach the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”
Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him. But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
