< Joba 26 >
And Job answers and says:
2 Akore ty nañimba’o ty tsy aman’ ozatse? ty nandrombaha’o ty sirañe tsy an-kafatrarañe?
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Akore ty nanoroa’o ty tsy aman-kilala; ty nitaroñe’o hasoa-anatse ami’ty maro?
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Ia ty nañakara’o saontsy? Vaho fañahi’ ia ty nitroboeñe ama’o?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Mihelohelo ambane rano ao o loloo, naho o mpimoneñeo.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
6 Miboridañe añatrefa’e eo ty Tsikeokeoke; tsy aman-tsaro’e ty Fandrotsahañe. (Sheol )
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
7 Alama’e an-dikerañe ambone’ i hoakoakey i avaratsey; aradorado’e ambone hakoahañe eo ty tane toy.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Aholonkolo’e amo raho’eo ty rano, fe tsy miporitsak’ ambane i rahoñey.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Takona’e ty tarehe’ i zava-volañey, alafi’e ama’e i raho’ey.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Nañarikatoha’e sokitse ty an-tarehe’ o ranoo hañefera’e amy ieñey i hazavàñey.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Miezeñezeñe o fahan-dikerañeo, mianifañe ami’ty enda’e.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 An-kaozarañe ty nampipendreña’e i riakey; aman-kihitse ty nitomboha’e i Rahàbe.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 I kofò’ey ty ampisava’e i likerañey; trinofam-pità’e i mereñe mitsiritsiokey.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Inay, romoromom-pitoloña’e irezay, le volam-bisibisike ty ijanjiñañe, Fe ia ty mahafohiñe i figorogodoiña’e ra’elahiy?
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
