Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said:
Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ be,
2 How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
“Miekpe ɖe ame beli la ŋu ŋutɔ! Miekpe ɖe ame gblɔe la ƒe abɔ ŋu ŋutɔ!
3 How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
Aɖaŋu kae nye esi nèna ame si si nunya mele o! Eye sidzedze kae nye gã si nèɖe fia!
4 For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
Ame kae kpe ɖe ŋuwò be nègblɔ nya siawo? Eye ame ka ƒe gbɔgbɔe ƒo nu to dziwò?
5 Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
“Ame kukuwo le vevesese gã aɖe me, nenema kee nye ame siwo le tɔ gɔme kple ame siwo le tɔ me.
Ku le ƒuƒlu le Mawu ŋkume, eye wometsyɔ nu gbegblẽ dzi o. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Ekeke dzigbeme ƒe lilikpowo ɖe teƒe siwo naneke mele o eye wòna anyigba le yame, naneke melée ɖe asi o.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
Eŋlɔ tsiwo ɖe lilikpowo me, gake woƒe kpekpe mena lilikpoawo gbã o.
9 He covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
Etsɔ nu tsyɔ ɣleti si sɔ tegblẽe la ƒe ŋkume eye wòkeke eƒe lilikpowo ɖe edzi.
10 He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
Eɖe liƒo na dzite ɖe tsiwo dzi eye wòde mama kekeli kple viviti dome.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.
Ne ele mo kam na nuwɔwɔwo la, dziƒosɔtiwo ʋuʋuna eye wodzona nyanyanya.
12 By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
Ena atsiaƒu dze agbo to eƒe ŋusẽ dzi eye wòfli Rahab kakɛkakɛ to eƒe nya dzi.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.
Ena dziŋgɔli me kɔ to eƒe ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔ dzi eye eƒe asi ŋɔ da vɔ̃ɖi si ɖiɖi va yina.
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?
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?”
