Job 26
1 Mgbe ahụ, Job zaghachiri:
Then 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 him that is without power! how hast thou saved the arm that hath no 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 plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Ọ bụ onye nyeere gị aka ikwu okwu ndị a? Mmụọ onye si nʼọnụ gị kwuo okwu?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 “Ndị nwụrụ anwụ nọ nʼoke ihe mgbu, ha na ndị nọ nʼokpuru mmiri na ndị bi nʼime ya.
They that are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon 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, and 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 closeth in the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 O kewapụtara oke nʼelu ogbu mmiri, ka ọ bụrụ oke dị nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of 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 heaven 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 with 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 garnished; his hand hath pierced the swift 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 but the outskirts of his ways: and how small a whisper do we hear of him! but the thunder of his power who can understand?
