Job 26
1 And Job answered and said,
Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ be,
2 How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
“Miekpe ɖe ame beli la ŋu ŋutɔ! Miekpe ɖe ame gblɔe la ƒe abɔ ŋu ŋutɔ!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
Aɖaŋu kae nye esi nèna ame si si nunya mele o! Eye sidzedze kae nye gã si nèɖe fia!
4 For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Ame kae kpe ɖe ŋuwò be nègblɔ nya siawo? Eye ame ka ƒe gbɔgbɔe ƒo nu to dziwò?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
“Ame kukuwo le vevesese gã aɖe me, nenema kee nye ame siwo le tɔ gɔme kple ame siwo le tɔ me.
Ku le ƒuƒlu le Mawu ŋkume, eye wometsyɔ nu gbegblẽ dzi o. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
Ekeke dzigbeme ƒe lilikpowo ɖe teƒe siwo naneke mele o eye wòna anyigba le yame, naneke melée ɖe asi o.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
Eŋlɔ tsiwo ɖe lilikpowo me, gake woƒe kpekpe mena lilikpoawo gbã o.
9 He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Etsɔ nu tsyɔ ɣleti si sɔ tegblẽe la ƒe ŋkume eye wòkeke eƒe lilikpowo ɖe edzi.
10 He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Eɖe liƒo na dzite ɖe tsiwo dzi eye wòde mama kekeli kple viviti dome.
11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Ne ele mo kam na nuwɔwɔwo la, dziƒosɔtiwo ʋuʋuna eye wodzona nyanyanya.
12 He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
Ena atsiaƒu dze agbo to eƒe ŋusẽ dzi eye wòfli Rahab kakɛkakɛ to eƒe nya dzi.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
Ena dziŋgɔli me kɔ to eƒe ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔ dzi eye eƒe asi ŋɔ da vɔ̃ɖi si ɖiɖi va yina.
14 Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
Esiawoe nye eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ƒe sue aɖe ko eye aleke dalĩ si wodo le eŋuti miese la le bɔlɔe ale! Eya ta ame kae ate ŋu ase eƒe ŋusẽ ƒe gbeɖeɖe gɔme?”
