Job 26
1 Mgbe ahụ, Job zaghachiri:
But 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] savest thou 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 counseled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou 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?
To 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.
Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell [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 the empty place, [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 holdeth back 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 encompassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
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 reproof.
12 Nʼike ya ka o ji kpalie oke osimiri; ọ bụ amamihe ya ka o ji tigbuo Rehab.
He divideth the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Ọ bụ site na nkuume ya ka mbara eluigwe ji maa mma; aka ya dupuru agwọ na-agba ọsọ.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked 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] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
