Iyyoob 26
1 Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
Then Job answered, and said:
2 “Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3 Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 “Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
