Jobho 26
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
But Job answered and said,
2 “Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!
To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!
To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
5 “Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
9 Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
11 Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
12 Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
13 Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
14 Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
