< ヨブ 記 26 >
But Job answered and said,
2 なんぢ能力なき者を如何に助けしや 氣力なきものを如何に救ひしや
How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?
3 智慧なき者を如何に誨へしや 穎悟の道を如何に多く示ししや
How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 なんぢ誰にむかひて言語を出ししや なんぢより出しは誰が靈なるや
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 かれの御前には陰府も顯露なり 滅亡の坑も蔽ひ匿す所なし (Sheol )
Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol )
7 彼は北の天を虚空に張り 地を物なき所に懸けたまふ
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it.
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 その權能をもて海を靜めその智慧をもてラハブを撃碎き
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 その氣嘘をもて天を輝かせ 其手をもて逃る蛇を衝とほしたまふ
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 視よ是等はただその御工作の端なるのみ 我らが聞く所の者は如何にも微細なる耳語ならずや 然どその權能の雷轟に至りては誰かこれを曉らんや
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?
