And he answered Yahweh Job (from - *Q(K)*) (the tempest *Q(k)*) and he said.
2 “Ngubani na lowo odunga amacebo ami ngamazwi okungazi?
Who? this - [is] making dark counsel by words not knowledge.
3 Qina njengendoda; ngizakubuza, lawe uzangiphendula.
Gird up please like a man loins your and I will ask you and make known to me.
4 Wawungaphi lapho ngibeka izisekelo zomhlaba na? Ngitshela nxa uqedisisa.
Where? were you when founded I [the] earth tell if you know understanding.
5 Ngubani owamisa izilinganiso zawo na? Phela angithi uyazi! Ngubani owayidonsayo intambo yokulinganisa kuwo na?

6 Izinsika zawo zamiswa phezu kwani na, loba ngubani owamisa ilitshe lawo lekhoneni na
On what? bases its were they sunk or who? did he lay [the] stone of corner its.
7 lapho izinkanyezi zokusa zazihlabelela kanyekanye lezingilosi zonke zamemeza ngentokozo?
When sang together [the] stars of morning and they shouted all [the] sons of God.
8 Ngubani owavalela ulwandle ngemva kwezivalo lapho selufohla esiswini na,
And he shut off with doors [the] sea when burst forth it from [the] womb it came forth.
9 lapho ngisenza amayezi aba yisembatho salo na ngalugoqela ngomnyama omkhulu,
When made I cloud[s] clothing its and thick darkness swaddling-band its.
10 lapho ngalubekela imikhawulo ngamisa iminyango yalo lemigoqo endaweni yayo,

¿ From days your have you commanded morning (you caused to know the dawn *Q(K)*) place its.
13 ukuba kuphakamise umhlaba ngemiphetho kuthintithe ababi abakuwo?
To take hold on [the] corners of the earth so they may be shaken wicked [people] from it.
14 Umhlaba ubumbeka isimo njengebumba ufakwe uphawu; imibala yawo ikhanye ithi bha njengelembu.
It is changed like [the] clay of a seal so they may stand forth like clothing.
15 Ababi bayacitshelwa ukukhanya, lengalo yabo ephakanyisiweyo iyephulwa.
So it may be withheld from wicked [people] light their and an arm uplifted it is broken.
16 Sewake wahamba emithonjeni yolwandle na loba wahamba ezingoxweni zenziki yalo na?

You know for then you were born and [the] number of days your [is] many.
22 Sewake wangena eziphaleni zikangqwaqwane loba wabona iziphala zesiqhotho na,
¿ Have you gone into [the] storehouses of snow and [the] storehouses of hail have you seen?
23 engizilindisele izikhathi zohlupho, insuku zempi lokuhlasela na?
Which I have kept back for [the] time of distress for [the] day of battle and warfare.
24 Ingaphi indlela eya esigodlweni sokwaba umbane, loba indawo yokuhlakaza umoya wempumalanga phezu komhlaba na?

29 Ngesikabani isisu esizala iliqhwa na? Ngubani ozala umtshazo ovela phezulu na
From [the] womb of whom? does it come forth the ice and [the] frost of heaven who? does he give birth to it.
30 lapho amanzi abalukhuni njengelitshe, lapho iphezulu yolwandle ijiyile?
Like stone waters they become hard and [the] surface of [the] deep they freeze.
31 Ungasibopha na isiLimela lesi esihle? Ungazithukulula yini izintambo zeziNja?
¿ Will you bind on [the] bonds of Pleiades or? [the] chains of Orion will you loosen.
32 Ungawuletha na uMthala ngesikhathi sawo loba ukhuphe inkanyezi ethiwa yiNgulube lemidlwane yayo?

When flows [the] dust into lump and [the] clods they are joined together.
39 Uyasizingelela na isilwanekazi ukudla kwaso, uyiqede indlala yezilwane
¿ Will you hunt for a lion prey and [the] life of young lions will you fill?
40 lapho zilele ezikhundleni zazo kumbe zicwathile ezixukwini?
If they will crouch in dens they will remain in thicket for lying-in-wait.
41 Ngubani opha iwabayi ukudla lapho amatsiyane alo ekhala kuNkulunkulu ezulazula ehayila ngendlala na?”
Who? does he prepare for the raven food-supply its if (young ones its *Q(K)*) to God they will cry for help they will wander about for not food.
