Job 26
1 Then Job answered, and said:
ヨブこたへて曰く
2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
なんぢ能力なき者を如何に助けしや 氣力なきものを如何に救ひしや
3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
智慧なき者を如何に誨へしや 穎悟の道を如何に多く示ししや
4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
なんぢ誰にむかひて言語を出ししや なんぢより出しは誰が靈なるや
5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
陰靈水またその中に居る者の下に慄ふ
かれの御前には陰府も顯露なり 滅亡の坑も蔽ひ匿す所なし (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
彼は北の天を虚空に張り 地を物なき所に懸けたまふ
8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
水を濃雲の中に包みたまふてその下の雲裂ず
9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
御寳座の面を隱して雲をその上に展べ
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
水の面に界を設けて光と暗とに限を立たまふ
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
かれ叱咤たまへば天の柱震ひかつ怖る
12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
その權能をもて海を靜め その智慧をもてラハブを撃碎き
13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
その氣嘘をもて天を輝かせ 其手をもて逃る蛇を衝とほしたまふ
14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
視よ是等はただその御工作の端なるのみ 我らが聞ところの者は如何にも微細なる耳語ならずや 然どその權能の雷轟に至りては誰かこれを曉らんや
