< Ayubu 26 >
1 Kisha Ayubu akajibu na kusema,
Then Job answered:
2 “Mmemsaidiaje aliyedhaifu!
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 Jinsi gani mmemshauri asiye na hekima na kutamka maneno yenye maarifa kwake!
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 Kwa msaada wa nani mmesema maneno haya? Ni roho ya nani iliyotoka ndani yenu?
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 Maiti inatetemeka chini ya maji, na vyote wilivyomo ndani yake.
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
6 Kuzimu kuko wazi mbele ya Mungu; uharibifu hauna kizuizi dhidi yake. (Sheol )
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol )
7 Huitandaza kaskazi juu ya nafasi wazi na kuining'iniza dunia hewani.
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 Huyafunga maji katika mawingu yake mazito, lakini hayagawanyiki chini yake.
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 Huufunika uso wa mwezi na kueneza mawingu yake juu yake.
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 Amechora ukingo wa duara juu ya maji kama mpaka kati ya nuru na giza.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 Nguzo za mbinguni zinatikisika na zimestushwa na kukemea kwake.
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 Aliituliza bahari kwa uwezo wake; kwa ufahamu wake alimwaribu Rahab
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 Kwa pumzi yake, aliziondoa mbingu kwa dhorubu; mbingu ziliondolewa kwa dhorubu; mkono wake ulimchoma nyoka anayekimbia.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Tazama, hizi si zaidi ya madogo ya njia zake; Jinsi gani tunasikia akitunong'oneza! Ni nani awezaye kufahamu uwezo wake.
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
