< Job 26 >

1 And Job answered and said,
Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
2 How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
4 For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
6 Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Miboridañe añatrefa’e eo ty Tsikeokeoke; tsy aman-tsaro’e ty Fandrotsahañe. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
9 He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
10 He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
12 He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
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?
Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
