< Job 26 >

1 Mgbe ahụ, Job zaghachiri:
And Job answered and said,
2 “Lee ka i si nyere onye na-adịghị ike aka! Leekwa ka i si zọpụta ogwe aka nke onye ume na-adịghị!
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 Lee ụdị ndụmọdụ i nyerela onye na-enweghị amamihe! Leekwa ụdị oke nghọta nke ị gosipụtara.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 Ọ bụ onye nyeere gị aka ikwu okwu ndị a? Mmụọ onye si nʼọnụ gị kwuo okwu?
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 “Ndị nwụrụ anwụ nọ nʼoke ihe mgbu, ha na ndị nọ nʼokpuru mmiri na ndị bi nʼime ya.
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
6 Ala mmụọ gba ọtọ nʼihu Chineke; mbibi tọgbọkwara na-enweghị ihe kpuchiri ya. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ọ na-agbasapụ elu elu nke mbara eluigwe nʼelu ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. O nweghị ihe o kokwasịrị ụwa nʼelu ya.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
8 Ọ na-ekechi mmiri nʼime igwe ojii, ma ịdị arọ ya adịghị eme ka igwe ojii gbawaa.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Ọ na-ekpuchi ihu ọnwa nke dị nʼuju ya, na-agbasakwa igwe ojii ya nʼelu ya,
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 O kewapụtara oke nʼelu ogbu mmiri, ka ọ bụrụ oke dị nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Ogidi niile nke eluigwe na-ama jijiji, tụọkwa oke egwu nʼihi ịba mba ya.
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Nʼike ya ka o ji kpalie oke osimiri; ọ bụ amamihe ya ka o ji tigbuo Rehab.
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 Ọ bụ site na nkuume ya ka mbara eluigwe ji maa mma; aka ya dupuru agwọ na-agba ọsọ.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
14 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?”
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
