< Job 26 >

1 But Job answered and said,
To naah Job mah,
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
3 How have you counceled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Hell loe Sithaw hmaa ah bangkrai ah ni oh, amrohaih loe kraenghaih akhuem om ai. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth on nothing.
Anih mah aluek bang ih van to tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah payuengh moe, tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah long to a bangh.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Kathah tamai nuiah tuinawk to a suek; toe tui kazit mah tamai to tapoksak ai.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
Anih mah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to khuk moe, angmah ih tamai to a nuiah taboksak.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud.
A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
Angmah ih Muithla hoiah van to krang kahoih ah pathoep moe, a ban hoiah kasae pahui to sak.
14 See, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Khenah, hae hmuennawk loe a sak ih hmuen aqai ah ni oh o vop; aicae mah anih ih lok zetta ni a thaih o vop; toe a thacakhaih khopazih tuen loe mi mah maw panoek thai tih?
