Job 26
1 Mgbe ahụ, Job zaghachiri:
Then answered Job, 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!
What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
3 Lee ụdị ndụmọdụ i nyerela onye na-enweghị amamihe! Leekwa ụdị oke nghọta nke ị gosipụtara.
How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
4 Ọ bụ onye nyeere gị aka ikwu okwu ndị a? Mmụọ onye si nʼọnụ gị kwuo okwu?
To whom hast thou told 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 departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ọ na-agbasapụ elu elu nke mbara eluigwe nʼelu ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. O nweghị ihe o kokwasịrị ụwa nʼelu ya.
He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
8 Ọ na-ekechi mmiri nʼime igwe ojii, ma ịdị arọ ya adịghị eme ka igwe ojii gbawaa.
He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
9 Ọ na-ekpuchi ihu ọnwa nke dị nʼuju ya, na-agbasakwa igwe ojii ya nʼelu ya,
He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
10 O kewapụtara oke nʼelu ogbu mmiri, ka ọ bụrụ oke dị nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
11 Ogidi niile nke eluigwe na-ama jijiji, tụọkwa oke egwu nʼihi ịba mba ya.
The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 Nʼike ya ka o ji kpalie oke osimiri; ọ bụ amamihe ya ka o ji tigbuo Rehab.
By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
13 Ọ bụ site na nkuume ya ka mbara eluigwe ji maa mma; aka ya dupuru agwọ na-agba ọsọ.
By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying 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 ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
