< Job 26 >

1 And Job answers and says:
Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ be,
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
“Miekpe ɖe ame beli la ŋu ŋutɔ! Miekpe ɖe ame gblɔe la ƒe abɔ ŋu ŋutɔ!
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
Aɖaŋu kae nye esi nèna ame si si nunya mele o! Eye sidzedze kae nye gã si nèɖe fia!
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
Ame kae kpe ɖe ŋuwò be nègblɔ nya siawo? Eye ame ka ƒe gbɔgbɔe ƒo nu to dziwò?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
“Ame kukuwo le vevesese gã aɖe me, nenema kee nye ame siwo le tɔ gɔme kple ame siwo le tɔ me.
6 Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
Ku le ƒuƒlu le Mawu ŋkume, eye wometsyɔ nu gbegblẽ dzi o. (Sheol h7585)
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
Ekeke dzigbeme ƒe lilikpowo ɖe teƒe siwo naneke mele o eye wòna anyigba le yame, naneke melée ɖe asi o.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
Eŋlɔ tsiwo ɖe lilikpowo me, gake woƒe kpekpe mena lilikpoawo gbã o.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
Etsɔ nu tsyɔ ɣleti si sɔ tegblẽe la ƒe ŋkume eye wòkeke eƒe lilikpowo ɖe edzi.
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
Eɖe liƒo na dzite ɖe tsiwo dzi eye wòde mama kekeli kple viviti dome.
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Ne ele mo kam na nuwɔwɔwo la, dziƒosɔtiwo ʋuʋuna eye wodzona nyanyanya.
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
Ena atsiaƒu dze agbo to eƒe ŋusẽ dzi eye wòfli Rahab kakɛkakɛ to eƒe nya dzi.
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
Ena dziŋgɔli me kɔ to eƒe ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔ dzi eye eƒe asi ŋɔ da vɔ̃ɖi si ɖiɖi va yina.
14 Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
Esiawoe nye eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ƒe sue aɖe ko eye aleke dalĩ si wodo le eŋuti miese la le bɔlɔe ale! Eya ta ame kae ate ŋu ase eƒe ŋusẽ ƒe gbeɖeɖe gɔme?”
