Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

Kisha Ayubu akajibu:

2 How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?

“Tazama jinsi ulivyomsaidia mtu asiye na uwezo! Jinsi ulivyouokoa mkono ulio dhaifu!

3 How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

Ni shauri gani ulilompa yeye asiye na hekima? Nayo ni busara gani kubwa uliyoonyesha!

4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Ni nani aliyekusaidia kutamka maneno hayo? Nayo ni roho ya nani iliyosema kutoka kinywani mwako?

5 Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

“Wafu wako katika maumivu makuu, wale walio chini ya maji na wale waishio ndani yake.

6 Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)

Mauti iko wazi mbele za Mungu; Uharibifu haukufunikwa. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Hutandaza anga la kaskazini mahali patupu; naye huiningʼiniza dunia mahali pasipo na kitu.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Huyafungia maji kwenye mawingu yake, hata hivyo mawingu hayapasuki kwa uzito wake.

9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Huufunika uso wa mwezi mpevu, akitandaza mawingu juu yake.

10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

Amechora mstari wa upeo juu ya uso wa maji, ameweka mpaka wa nuru na giza.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

Nguzo za mbingu nazo zatetemeka, zinatishika anapozikemea.

12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

Kwa nguvu zake aliisukasuka bahari; kwa hekima yake alimkata Rahabu vipande vipande.

13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Aliisafisha anga kwa pumzi yake; kwa mkono wake alimchoma joka aendaye mbio.

14 Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Haya ni mambo madogo tu katika matendo yake; tazama jinsi ulivyo mdogo mnongʼono tunaousikia kumhusu! Ni nani basi awezaye kuelewa ngurumo za nguvu zake?”
