Job 26

1 Then Job answered and said:

Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:

2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

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

3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

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

4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

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

5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

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

6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)

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

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

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

8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

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

9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.

Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.

10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

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

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.

Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.

12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.

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

13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.

Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.

14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?

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