Job's Reply to Bildad
You Have Really Been Helpful
1 Job said:
2 You have really been helpful
to someone weak and weary.
3 You have given great advice
and wonderful wisdom
to someone truly in need.
4 How can anyone possibly speak
with such understanding?
5 Remember the terrible trembling
of those in the world of the dead
below the mighty ocean.
6 Nothing in that land
of death and destruction
is hidden from God,
7 who hung the northern sky
and suspended the earth
on empty space.
8 God stores water in clouds,
but they don't burst,
9 and he wraps them around
the face of the moon.
10 On the surface of the ocean,
God has drawn a boundary line
between light and darkness.
11 And columns supporting the sky
tremble at his command.
12 By his power and wisdom,
God conquered the force
of the mighty ocean.
13 The heavens became bright
when he breathed,
and the escaping sea monster
died at his hands.
14 These things are merely a whisper
of God's power at work.
How little we would understand
if this whisper
ever turned into thunder!
Job ta yamukula
1-2 Owa kwatha ngiini omunkundi!
Owa koleke tuu omaako ga loloka?
3 Omayele ogeni po wa nongeke omusama?
Uunongo ou thike peni we u holola?
4 Olye e ku popitha oohapu ndhika?
Owa hwamekwa kombepo yini po, u dhi tye?
5 Aasi oye li muumbanda uunene,
ayehe mboka ye li mevi kohi yomeya.
6 Uusi ou li puuyelele koshipala shaKalunga,

7 Kalunga ota yalaleke eyalelo lyokuumbangalantu,
nota tula evi powalawala.
8 Ota kaleke omeya miikogo,

9 Omwedhi gwa toka ote gu kwidhidhike,

10 Ota tende omusinda kombanda yomeya
nota yoolola uuyelele momilema.
11 Oongundhi dheyalelo otadhi tenguka

12 Koonkondo dhe ota tukulutha efuta,

14 Ayihe mbika otayi ulike oonkondo dhe;

Olye tu uvu ko uunene woonkondo dhaKalunga?
