< Job 26 >

1 And Job answereth and saith: —
To naah Job mah,
2 What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
3 What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
4 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
6 Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
Hell loe Sithaw hmaa ah bangkrai ah ni oh, amrohaih loe kraenghaih akhuem om ai. (Sheol h7585)
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging 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 Binding 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 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
Anih mah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to khuk moe, angmah ih tamai to a nuiah taboksak.
10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
11 Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand 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] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth 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?
