Joba 26
1 Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
Job replied,
2 Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
“How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3 Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4 Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
5 Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)
7 Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8 Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9 Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10 Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
11 Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
12 An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
13 I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
14 Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
