Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:

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

“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!

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

Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!

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

Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?

5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and its inhabitants.

“Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.

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

Sheori yakashama pamberi paMwari; kuparadza hakuna kufukidzwa. (Sheol h7585)

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

Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.

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

Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.

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

Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.

10 He hath surrounded the waters with a border, until the day and night come to an end.

Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.

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

Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.

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

Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.

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

Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.

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?

Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
