Joba 26
1 Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:
Then Job answered and said,
2 Endrey! nanohana ny tsy manan-kery ianao sy nampahatanjaka ny sandry malemy!
“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Ary nanolo-tsaina ny tsy hendry sy nampahafantatra izay fahendrena betsaka!
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 Iza no nandaharanao teny? Ary fanahin’ izay no nivoaka avy tao aminao?
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 Ny matoatoa dia ampanaintainina Any ambanin’ ny rano sy any ambanin’ ny mponina any.
The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
6 Ny fiainan-tsi-hita miharihary eo anatrehany, ary ny fandringanana dia tsy mirakotra. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him. (Sheol h7585)
7 Mamelatra ny lanitra avaratra ho eny ambonin’ ny habakabaka Izy ary manantona ny tany amin’ ny tsy misy.
He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
8 Fonosiny amin’ ireo rahony matevina ny rano, nefa ny fanambanin’ ny rahona tsy mety triatra.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 Manakona ny seza fiandrianany tsy ho hitantsika Izy amin’ ny amelarany ny rahony hanarona azy.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 Asiany faritra manodidina eny ambonin’ ny rano. Hatramin’ izay ihaonan’ ny mazava sy ny maizina.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
11 Ny andrin’ ny lanitra nihozongozona sady ankona amin’ ny teny mafy ataony.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ny heriny no entiny mampanonja ny ranomasina, ary ny fahendreny no anorotoroany an-dRahaba;
He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Ny fanahiny no mahatsara tarehy ny lanitra; Ny tànany no nitomboka ny menarana mandositra.
By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Indro, ireny dia vao ny sisintsisin’ ny alehany ihany aza, ary siosion-teny mamelovelo no andrenesantsika Azy; Fa raha ny fikotrokotroky ny heriny, iza moa no mahatakatra izany?
See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
