Ayubu 26
1 Kisha Ayubu akajibu:
Job replied,
2 “Tazama jinsi ulivyomsaidia mtu asiye na uwezo! Jinsi ulivyouokoa mkono ulio dhaifu!
“How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3 Ni shauri gani ulilompa yeye asiye na hekima? Nayo ni busara gani kubwa uliyoonyesha!
What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4 Ni nani aliyekusaidia kutamka maneno hayo? Nayo ni roho ya nani iliyosema kutoka kinywani mwako?
Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
5 “Wafu wako katika maumivu makuu, wale walio chini ya maji na wale waishio ndani yake.
The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)
7 Hutandaza anga la kaskazini mahali patupu; naye huiningʼiniza dunia mahali pasipo na kitu.
He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8 Huyafungia maji kwenye mawingu yake, hata hivyo mawingu hayapasuki kwa uzito wake.
He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9 Huufunika uso wa mwezi mpevu, akitandaza mawingu juu yake.
He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10 Amechora mstari wa upeo juu ya uso wa maji, ameweka mpaka wa nuru na giza.
On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
11 Nguzo za mbingu nazo zatetemeka, zinatishika anapozikemea.
The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
12 Kwa nguvu zake aliisukasuka bahari; kwa hekima yake alimkata Rahabu vipande vipande.
He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
13 Aliisafisha anga kwa pumzi yake; kwa mkono wake alimchoma joka aendaye mbio.
The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
14 Haya ni mambo madogo tu katika matendo yake; tazama jinsi ulivyo mdogo mnongʼono tunaousikia kumhusu! Ni nani basi awezaye kuelewa ngurumo za nguvu zake?”
This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
