< Job 26 >

1 Hatei Job ni a pathung teh,
But Job answered and said,
2 Hnotithainae ka tawn hoeh e teh, bangtelamaw na kabawp, thaonae ka tawn hoeh e kut teh, bangtelamaw na rungngang thai.
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 Lungangnae ka tawn hoeh e teh, bangtelamaw na toun thai, tami moikapap koevah kalan e pouknae hah bangtelamaw na poe thai.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Api koe maw lawk teh na pâpho pouh. Apie muitha maw nama koe ka phat.
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Tami kadout hah a pâyaw teh, tui rahim vah ao teh, haw vah kaawm e naw hoi a pâyaw awh.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 A hmalah duenae caici lah ao. Rawkphainae ni ramuknae tawn hoeh. (Sheol h7585)
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Kalvan teh ahrawnghrang dawk a kangdue. Talai hai ahrawnghrang dawk a kâbang.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Katha poung e tâmai dawk tui hah mek a racut teh, a rahim e tâmai hah kâbawng awh hoeh.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 A bawitungkhung e hmalah a ramuk teh, a lathueng vah tâmai a tabo sak.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Angnae hoi hmonae langri a ta nahanelah tui dawk a langri a ruen pouh.
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Kalvan toenae khom a kâhuet teh, a tounnae hah kângai lah a ru.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 A hnotithainae lahoi tuipui a thaw sak. Bahu lahoi tûilî hah thawk a kapek.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 A muitha lahoi kalvan a pathoup sak. Kamleng e khorui hai a kut hoi a sak.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Khenhaw! hetnaw heh lamthung nueng kamtawngnae doeh. Ahnimouh koe e thai awh e hrolawk teh, banghloimaw a thoung. Hateiteh, keitat hnotithainae hah, apinimaw a panue thai.
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?
