< Job 26 >
1 And Job answereth and saith: —
Epi Job te reponn:
2 What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
Kèl kalite èd ou ye pou fèb yo! Kèl sekou ou te bay a bra ki te san fòs la!
3 What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
Kèl konsèy ou te bay a sila ki san sajès la! Kèl kalite bèl eklèsisman ou te bay an abondans!
4 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
Se a kilès ou t ap eksprime pawòl sa yo menm? Epi se lespri a kilès ki te enspire ou menm?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
Lespri mò yo tranble anba dlo yo avèk tout sila ki rete ladann yo.
6 Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
Sejou Lanmò An se toutouni devan Bondye. Labim nan pa gen kouvèti. (Sheol )
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
Li lonje rale zetwal nò a sou espas vid. Li fè mond lan pandye san anyen pap kenbe l.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
Li vlope dlo yo nan nwaj Li yo, e nwaj la pa pete anba fòs yo.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
Li fè kache figi gwo lalin nan e gaye nwaj Li sou li.
10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
Li te trase yon lizyè sou sifas dlo yo, ak pou limit tenèb la ak limyè a.
11 Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Pilye syèl yo tanmen tranble, e yo etone lè L repwòche yo.
12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
Ak pwisans Li, li kalme lanmè a, e ak bon konprann Li, li te brize Rahab.
13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
Ak souf Li, li dekore syèl yo. Se men L ki te frennen sèpan ki t ap sove ale a.
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?
Gade byen, sa se yon ti kras bagay de tout chemen L yo. Epi a la ti kras souf pawòl nou konn tande de Li! Men tonnè pwisans Li an! Se kilès ki kab konprann li?
