< Job 26 >
1 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Job, at nagsabi,
Then Job made answer and said,
2 Paano mong tinulungan siya na walang kapangyarihan! Paano mong iniligtas ang kamay na walang lakas!
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 Paano mong pinayuhan siya na walang karunungan, at saganang ipinahayag mo ang mabuting kaalaman!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Kanino mo binigkas ang mga salita? At kanino ang diwa na lumabas sa iyo?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 Ang mga patay ay nanginginig sa ilalim ng tubig, at ang mga nananahan doon.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
6 Ang Sheol ay hubad sa harap ng Dios, at ang Abaddon ay walang takip. (Sheol )
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol )
7 Kaniyang iniuunat ang hilagaan sa pagitang walang laman, at ibinibitin ang lupa sa wala.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Kaniyang itinatali ang tubig sa kaniyang masinsing alapaap; at ang alapaap ay hindi nahahapak sa ilalim nila.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Kaniyang tinatakpan ang ibabaw ng kaniyang luklukan, at iniladlad ang kaniyang mga alapaap sa ibabaw niyaon.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Siya'y gumuguhit ng isang hangganan sa ibabaw ng tubig, hanggang sa pinagsasalikupan ng liwanag at kadiliman.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Ang mga haligi ng langit ay nagsisipanginig. At nangatitigilan sa kaniyang saway.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Kaniyang pinapag-iinalon ang dagat ng kaniyang kapangyarihan, at sa kaniyang kaalaman ay sinasaktan niya ang Rahab.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang Espiritu ay ginayakan niya ang langit; sinaksak ng kaniyang mga kamay ang maliksing ahas.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Narito, ang mga ito ang mga gilid lamang ng kaniyang mga daan: at pagkarahan ng bulong na ating naririnig sa kaniya! Nguni't sinong makakaunawa ng kulog ng kaniyang kapangyarihan?
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.
