Job 26

1 Then answered Job, and said,

Eka Ayub nodwoko niya:

2 What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?

“Mano kaka usekonyo joma onge teko! Mano kaka usereso joma yomyom!

3 How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?

Mano kaka usengʼado rieko ne ngʼama onge gi rieko ka an kama, kendo uyie puonjo ngʼama ofuwo ka an kama!

4 To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?

En ngʼa mosemiyou rieko mar wuoyo kamano? Koso en paro mane ma un-go momiyo wechego wuok e dhou?

5 The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.

“Piny joma otho tetni, kendo ji duto man kuno luoro malich omako.

6 Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)

Piny joma otho ok opondo ne Nyasaye; kendo onge gima nyalo mone nene. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;

Oyaro polo man yo nyandwat mi oumgo kama ninono; kendo oliero piny ewi gima onge.

8 He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;

Nyasaye ema pongʼo boche polo kod pi, kendo omono pek mar pigno yiecho bochego.

9 He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;

Oumo wangʼ dwe mopor, koyaro bochene mondo ogengʼe.

10 A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.

Ogoro giko wi piny ewi pige kaka kiew mar ler gi mudho.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.

Sirni mag polo yiengni kendo kokwerogi to gilingʼ thi.

12 By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:

Ne ochoko pige mag nam gi tekre owuon; kendo kuom riekone ne otieko Rahab.

13 By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.

Muche ema nomiyo polo olendo; kendo lwete ema ne onegogo thuol mane oyudo ringo tony.

14 Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?

To magi gin mana dir tijene ma oko kende; kendo gin mana gik manok kende mikuodho kuome! Koro en ngʼa mongʼeyo gima Nyasaye nyalo timo gi tekone?”
