Job 26

1 Then Job answered, and said:

Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:

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?

“Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!

3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.

Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!

4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?

Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?

5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.

“Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.

6 Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)

Duuti fuula Waaqaa duratti qullaa jira; badiisnis waan isa dhoksu hin qabu. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.

Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.

9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.

Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.

Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.

Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.

12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.

Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.

13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.

Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.

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?

Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
