Joba 26
1 Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
