< Ayub 26 >
And Job answers and says:
2 “Mano kaka usekonyo joma onge teko! Mano kaka usereso joma yomyom!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Mano kaka usengʼado rieko ne ngʼama onge gi rieko ka an kama, kendo uyie puonjo ngʼama ofuwo ka an kama!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 En ngʼa mosemiyou rieko mar wuoyo kamano? Koso en paro mane ma un-go momiyo wechego wuok e dhou?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 “Piny joma otho tetni, kendo ji duto man kuno luoro malich omako.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
6 Piny joma otho ok opondo ne Nyasaye; kendo onge gima nyalo mone nene. (Sheol )
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
7 Oyaro polo man yo nyandwat mi oumgo kama ninono; kendo oliero piny ewi gima onge.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Nyasaye ema pongʼo boche polo kod pi, kendo omono pek mar pigno yiecho bochego.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Oumo wangʼ dwe mopor, koyaro bochene mondo ogengʼe.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Ogoro giko wi piny ewi pige kaka kiew mar ler gi mudho.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Sirni mag polo yiengni kendo kokwerogi to gilingʼ thi.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Ne ochoko pige mag nam gi tekre owuon; kendo kuom riekone ne otieko Rahab.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Muche ema nomiyo polo olendo; kendo lwete ema ne onegogo thuol mane oyudo ringo tony.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 To magi gin mana dir tijene ma oko kende; kendo gin mana gik manok kende mikuodho kuome! Koro en ngʼa mongʼeyo gima Nyasaye nyalo timo gi tekone?”
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
