Job 26

1 Then Job responded by saying:

Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:

2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?

Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?

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.

Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?

4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?

Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?

5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.

Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.

6 The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)

Miboridañe añatrefa’e eo ty Tsikeokeoke; tsy aman-tsaro’e ty Fandrotsahañe. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.

Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.

8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.

Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.

9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.

Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.

10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.

Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.

Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.

12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.

An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.

13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.

I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.

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?

Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
