< Job 26 >
1 Then Job answered and said:
To naah Job mah,
2 How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
3 How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
4 For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
5 Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
6 The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering. (Sheol )
Hell loe Sithaw hmaa ah bangkrai ah ni oh, amrohaih loe kraenghaih akhuem om ai. (Sheol )
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon 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 bindeth 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 covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
Anih mah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to khuk moe, angmah ih tamai to a nuiah taboksak.
10 He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.
Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
12 By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.
Angmah ih Muithla hoiah van to krang kahoih ah pathoep moe, a ban hoiah kasae pahui to sak.
14 Lo! these are but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have 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?
