Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said:
Ṣùgbọ́n Jobu sì dáhùn wí pé,
2 How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
“Báwo ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní ipá, báwo ní ìwọ ń ṣe gbe apá ẹni tí kò ní agbára?
3 How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
Báwo ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ fun ẹni tí kò ní ọgbọ́n, tàbí báwo òye rẹ to pọ to bẹ́ẹ̀?
4 For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
Ta ni ó ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ láti sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, àti ẹ̀mí ta ni ó gba ẹnu rẹ sọ̀rọ̀?”
5 Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
“Àwọn aláìlágbára ti isà òkú wárìrì, lábẹ́ omi pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
Ìhòhò ni ipò òkú níwájú Ọlọ́run, ibi ìparun kò sí ní ibojì. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Òun ní o nà ìhà àríwá ọ̀run ní ibi òfúrufú, ó sì so ayé rọ̀ ní ojú asán.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
Ó di omi pọ̀ nínú ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ó nípọn; àwọsánmọ̀ kò sì ya nísàlẹ̀ wọn.
9 He covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
Ó sì fa ojú ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ sẹ́yìn, ó sì tẹ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ sí i lórí.
10 He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
Ó fi ìdè yí omi òkun ká, títí dé ààlà ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti òkùnkùn.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.
Ọ̀wọ́n òpó ọ̀run wárìrì, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n sì ìbáwí rẹ̀.
12 By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
Ó fi ipá rẹ̀ dààmú omi Òkun; nípa òye rẹ̀, ó gé agbéraga sí wẹ́wẹ́.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.
Nípa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ni ó ti ṣe ọ̀run ní ọ̀ṣọ́; ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó fi dá ejò wíwọ́ nì.
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?
Kíyèsi i, èyí ní òpin ọ̀nà rẹ̀; ohùn èyí tí a gbọ́ ti kéré tó! Ta ni ẹni náà tí òye àrá agbára rẹ̀ lè yé?”
