Job 26
1 And Job answers and says:
ヨブこたへて曰く
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
なんぢ能力なき者を如何に助けしや 氣力なきものを如何に救ひしや
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
智慧なき者を如何に誨へしや 穎悟の道を如何に多く示ししや
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
なんぢ誰にむかひて言語を出ししや なんぢより出しは誰が靈なるや
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
陰靈水またその中に居る者の下に慄ふ
かれの御前には陰府も顯露なり 滅亡の坑も蔽ひ匿す所なし (Sheol h7585)
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
彼は北の天を虚空に張り 地を物なき所に懸けたまふ
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
水を濃雲の中に包みたまふてその下の雲裂ず
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
御寳座の面を隱して雲をその上に展べ
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
水の面に界を設けて光と暗とに限を立たまふ
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
かれ叱咤たまへば天の柱震ひかつ怖る
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
その權能をもて海を靜めその智慧をもてラハブを撃碎き
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
その氣嘘をもて天を輝かせ 其手をもて逃る蛇を衝とほしたまふ
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?”
視よ是等はただその御工作の端なるのみ 我らが聞く所の者は如何にも微細なる耳語ならずや 然どその權能の雷轟に至りては誰かこれを曉らんや
