Job 26

1 And Job answereth and saith: —

Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:

2 What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

“Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!

3 What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!

4 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?

5 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

“Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.

6 Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)

Duuti fuula Waaqaa duratti qullaa jira; badiisnis waan isa dhoksu hin qabu. (Sheol h7585)

7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.

8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.

9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.

10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.

Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.

11 Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.

12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.

13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.

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?

Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
