Joba 26
1 Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
Then Job answered and said:
2 Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (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 over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
8 Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
10 Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
12 An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
13 I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
14 Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
