Joba 26
1 Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
