Job 26
1 Ṣùgbọ́n Jobu sì dáhùn wí pé,
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 “Báwo ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní ipá, báwo ní ìwọ ń ṣe gbe apá ẹni tí kò ní agbára?
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 Báwo ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ fun ẹni tí kò ní ọgbọ́n, tàbí báwo òye rẹ to pọ to bẹ́ẹ̀?
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Ta ni ó ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ láti sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, àti ẹ̀mí ta ni ó gba ẹnu rẹ sọ̀rọ̀?”
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 “Àwọn aláìlágbára ti isà òkú wárìrì, lábẹ́ omi pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Òun ní o nà ìhà àríwá ọ̀run ní ibi òfúrufú, ó sì so ayé rọ̀ ní ojú asán.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Ó di omi pọ̀ nínú ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ó nípọn; àwọsánmọ̀ kò sì ya nísàlẹ̀ wọn.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 Ó sì fa ojú ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ sẹ́yìn, ó sì tẹ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ sí i lórí.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 Ó fi ìdè yí omi òkun ká, títí dé ààlà ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti òkùnkùn.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 Ọ̀wọ́n òpó ọ̀run wárìrì, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n sì ìbáwí rẹ̀.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 Ó fi ipá rẹ̀ dààmú omi Òkun; nípa òye rẹ̀, ó gé agbéraga sí wẹ́wẹ́.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 Nípa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ni ó ti ṣe ọ̀run ní ọ̀ṣọ́; ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó fi dá ejò wíwọ́ nì.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Kíyèsi i, èyí ní òpin ọ̀nà rẹ̀; ohùn èyí tí a gbọ́ ti kéré tó! Ta ni ẹni náà tí òye àrá agbára rẹ̀ lè yé?”
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
