< Job 26 >

1 But Job answered and said,
Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
2 To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
3 To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Miboridañe añatrefa’e eo ty Tsikeokeoke; tsy aman-tsaro’e ty Fandrotsahañe. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
14 Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
