Iyyoob 26
1 Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
Then Job answered and said:
2 “Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 “Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
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 Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
8 Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.
He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
10 Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
12 Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
13 Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant 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 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?
