Joba 26
1 Ty hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
Then answered Job, and said,
2 Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
3 Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
4 Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)
7 Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
8 Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
9 Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
10 Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
11 Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
13 I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.
14 Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
