< Job 26 >

1 To naah Job mah,
But Job answered and said,
2 kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell loe Sithaw hmaa ah bangkrai ah ni oh, amrohaih loe kraenghaih akhuem om ai. (Sheol h7585)
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Anih mah aluek bang ih van to tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah payuengh moe, tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah long to a bangh.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Kathah tamai nuiah tuinawk to a suek; toe tui kazit mah tamai to tapoksak ai.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Anih mah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to khuk moe, angmah ih tamai to a nuiah taboksak.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Angmah ih Muithla hoiah van to krang kahoih ah pathoep moe, a ban hoiah kasae pahui to sak.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Khenah, hae hmuennawk loe a sak ih hmuen aqai ah ni oh o vop; aicae mah anih ih lok zetta ni a thaih o vop; toe a thacakhaih khopazih tuen loe mi mah maw panoek thai tih?
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?
