< Iyyoob 26 >

1 Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 “Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 “Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
6 Duuti fuula Waaqaa duratti qullaa jira; badiisnis waan isa dhoksu hin qabu. (Sheol h7585)
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
