< Joba 26 >

1 Job loh a doo tih,
Then answered Job, and said,
2 “Metlam thadueng mueh te na bom tih sarhi aka tak mueh bantha te na khang?
What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
3 Metlam lae cueihnah aka tal te na uen tih a cungkuem ah lungming cueihnah na ming sak.
How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
4 U taengah nim ol na thui tih nang lamloh u kah hiil nim aka thoeng?
To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Sairhai tah tui hmui ah kilkul uh tih kho a sak.
The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
6 A taengah saelkhui khaw pumtling om tih Abaddon khaw himbai om pawh. (Sheol h7585)
Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)
7 Tlangpuei ah hinghong la a yaal tih bang aka om pawt soah khaw diklai a dingkoei sak.
He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
8 A khomai khuiah tui a cun tih cingmai te a hmui ah a ueth pawh.
He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
9 A cingmai te a soah a yaal tih ngolkhoel hmai a dah.
He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
10 Vangnah neh a hmuep laklo kah a khuetnah hamla tui hman ah a rhi a rhuen pah.
A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
11 Vaan kah tung khaw hlinghloek uh tih a tluungnah dongah a ngaihmang uh.
The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 A thadueng loh tuipuei te a phih tih a lungcuei neh Rahab a phop.
By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
13 A mueihla loh vaan kah khocil a thoeng sak tih a kut loh yingyet rhul khaw a toeh.
By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.
14 He tah a longpuei dongkah longpuei hmoi ni he. A thayung thamal kah khohum khuiah amah kah ol duem te metlam n'yaak? A thayung thamal te u long a yakming pai eh?” a ti.
Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
