< Job 26 >

1 But Job answered and said,
Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no 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 how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
6 Hell 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 the empty place, and 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 holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but 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?
