< Ayubu 26 >

1 Kisha Ayubu akajibu na kusema,
And Job answereth and saith: —
2 “Mmemsaidiaje aliyedhaifu!
What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Jinsi gani mmemshauri asiye na hekima na kutamka maneno yenye maarifa kwake!
What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
4 Kwa msaada wa nani mmesema maneno haya? Ni roho ya nani iliyotoka ndani yenu?
With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
5 Maiti inatetemeka chini ya maji, na vyote wilivyomo ndani yake.
The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
6 Kuzimu kuko wazi mbele ya Mungu; uharibifu hauna kizuizi dhidi yake. (Sheol h7585)
Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Huitandaza kaskazi juu ya nafasi wazi na kuining'iniza dunia hewani.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
8 Huyafunga maji katika mawingu yake mazito, lakini hayagawanyiki chini yake.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Huufunika uso wa mwezi na kueneza mawingu yake juu yake.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
10 Amechora ukingo wa duara juu ya maji kama mpaka kati ya nuru na giza.
A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Nguzo za mbinguni zinatikisika na zimestushwa na kukemea kwake.
Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Aliituliza bahari kwa uwezo wake; kwa ufahamu wake alimwaribu Rahab
By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
13 Kwa pumzi yake, aliziondoa mbingu kwa dhorubu; mbingu ziliondolewa kwa dhorubu; mkono wake ulimchoma nyoka anayekimbia.
By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
14 Tazama, hizi si zaidi ya madogo ya njia zake; Jinsi gani tunasikia akitunong'oneza! Ni nani awezaye kufahamu uwezo wake.
Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
