Job 26
1 Then Job responded by saying:
To naah Job mah,
2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
Hell loe Sithaw hmaa ah bangkrai ah ni oh, amrohaih loe kraenghaih akhuem om ai. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
Anih mah aluek bang ih van to tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah payuengh moe, tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah long to a bangh.
8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
Kathah tamai nuiah tuinawk to a suek; toe tui kazit mah tamai to tapoksak ai.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
Anih mah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to khuk moe, angmah ih tamai to a nuiah taboksak.
10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
Angmah ih Muithla hoiah van to krang kahoih ah pathoep moe, a ban hoiah kasae pahui to sak.
14 Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
Khenah, hae hmuennawk loe a sak ih hmuen aqai ah ni oh o vop; aicae mah anih ih lok zetta ni a thaih o vop; toe a thacakhaih khopazih tuen loe mi mah maw panoek thai tih?
