< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered:
Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
“Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
“Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Duuti fuula Waaqaa duratti qullaa jira; badiisnis waan isa dhoksu hin qabu. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
