Job 26
1 Job replied [to Bildad], saying this [sarcastically]:
Mgbe ahụ, Job zaghachiri:
2 “I am a very weak and helpless man; and (you [certainly] have not helped me [SAR] very much!/[do you think that] you have helped me [SAR] very much?) [RHQ]
“Lee ka i si nyere onye na-adịghị ike aka! Leekwa ka i si zọpụta ogwe aka nke onye ume na-adịghị!
3 (You certainly have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all./[Do you think that] you have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all?) [RHQ] ([I’m sure you think that] you have given a lot of very good advice to me. [RHQ]
Lee ụdị ndụmọdụ i nyerela onye na-enweghị amamihe! Leekwa ụdị oke nghọta nke ị gosipụtara.
4 Who helped you to say all those [great/wise] things? Who inspired you to speak like you did?”
Ọ bụ onye nyeere gị aka ikwu okwu ndị a? Mmụọ onye si nʼọnụ gị kwuo okwu?
5 “[Because] the spirits of dead people [are afraid], [they] tremble in the waters that are deep under the earth.
“Ndị nwụrụ anwụ nọ nʼoke ihe mgbu, ha na ndị nọ nʼokpuru mmiri na ndị bi nʼime ya.
6 God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol h7585)
Ala mmụọ gba ọtọ nʼihu Chineke; mbibi tọgbọkwara na-enweghị ihe kpuchiri ya. (Sheol h7585)
7 God stretched out the earth over the huge empty space and caused the earth to have nothing [to support it].
Ọ na-agbasapụ elu elu nke mbara eluigwe nʼelu ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. O nweghị ihe o kokwasịrị ụwa nʼelu ya.
8 He fills the thick/dense clouds with water and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
Ọ na-ekechi mmiri nʼime igwe ojii, ma ịdị arọ ya adịghị eme ka igwe ojii gbawaa.
9 He causes clouds to (obscure/prevent us from seeing) the moon.
Ọ na-ekpuchi ihu ọnwa nke dị nʼuju ya, na-agbasakwa igwe ojii ya nʼelu ya,
10 He separated the light from the darkness and put the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
O kewapụtara oke nʼelu ogbu mmiri, ka ọ bụrụ oke dị nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
11 When [he is angry, it is as though] he rebukes the pillars that hold up the sky. They are (shocked/very fearful), and they tremble.
Ogidi niile nke eluigwe na-ama jijiji, tụọkwa oke egwu nʼihi ịba mba ya.
12 With his power he calmed the sea; with his skill/wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
Nʼike ya ka o ji kpalie oke osimiri; ọ bụ amamihe ya ka o ji tigbuo Rehab.
13 With his breath he caused the sky to be bright/clear; with his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea.
Ọ bụ site na nkuume ya ka mbara eluigwe ji maa mma; aka ya dupuru agwọ na-agba ọsọ.
14 But those events show only a small amount of his power; [it is as though] we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice. When we hear thunder, [we say, ] ‘(Who can really understand [how great] his power [is]/No one can [really] understand [how great] his power [is]!) [RHQ]’”
Ihe ndị a bụ ọnụ ọnụ ọrụ aka ya; lee ka o si dị nta bụ okwu ntakwu anyị na-anụ gbasara ya! Onye pụrụ ịghọtacha ịda ụda nke ike ya?”
