Job 26
1 To naah Job mah,
Then Job answered and said:
2 kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
3 Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
4 Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
5 Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without 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 empty space, 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 covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
10 Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
11 Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.
12 A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
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 fleeing 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 but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have heard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
