Iyyoob 26
1 Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
But 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 savest thou 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 how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 “Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell 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 place, 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 thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked 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 parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
