Job 26
1 Then Job responded by saying:
Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
“Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!
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.
Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!
4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
“Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
Duuti fuula Waaqaa duratti qullaa jira; badiisnis waan isa dhoksu hin qabu. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.
8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
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?
Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
