Iyyoob 26
1 Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
Then answered Job, and said,
2 “Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!
What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
3 Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!
How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
4 Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?
To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 “Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.
The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.
He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
8 Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.
He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
9 Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.
He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
10 Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.
A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
11 Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.
The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.
By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
13 Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.
By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying 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 ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
