UJobe 26
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
And Job answers and says:
2 Umsize njani ongelamandla, wasindisa ingalo engelamandla?
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Umeluleke njani ongelakuhlakanipha, watshumayela ngobunengi ulwazi oluqotho?
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Utshele bani amazwi? Njalo ngumoya kabani ophume kuwe?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Abafileyo bayathuthumela ngaphansi kwamanzi, labahlali bawo.
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 Welulela inyakatho phezu kwendawo engelalutho, aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Uyabophela amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawadabuki ngaphansi kwawo.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Uyasibekela ubuso besihlalo sakhe sobukhosi, endlale iyezi phezu kwaso.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Udwebe umngcele oyisigombolozi phezu kobuso bamanzi, kuze kube sekucineni kokukhanya lomnyama.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Insika zamazulu ziyathuthumela, zethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Ngamandla akhe uthulisa ulwandle, langenhlakanipho yakhe uphahlaza ukuziqhenya.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Ngomoya wakhe ucecise amazulu; isandla sakhe sagwaza inyoka ebalekayo.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Khangela, lokhu kungamaphethelo ezindlela zakhe; kodwa kuzwakala into encinyane kangakanani ngaye! Kanti umdumo wamandla akhe ngubani ongawuqedisisa?
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?”
