Job 26
1 Ṣùgbọ́n Jobu sì dáhùn wí pé,
Then Job answered,
2 “Báwo ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní ipá, báwo ní ìwọ ń ṣe gbe apá ẹni tí kò ní agbára?
"How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
3 Báwo ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ fun ẹni tí kò ní ọgbọ́n, tàbí báwo òye rẹ to pọ to bẹ́ẹ̀?
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
4 Ta ni ó ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ láti sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, àti ẹ̀mí ta ni ó gba ẹnu rẹ sọ̀rọ̀?”
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
5 “Àwọn aláìlágbára ti isà òkú wárìrì, lábẹ́ omi pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
"Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Òun ní o nà ìhà àríwá ọ̀run ní ibi òfúrufú, ó sì so ayé rọ̀ ní ojú asán.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 Ó di omi pọ̀ nínú ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ó nípọn; àwọsánmọ̀ kò sì ya nísàlẹ̀ wọn.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Ó sì fa ojú ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ sẹ́yìn, ó sì tẹ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ sí i lórí.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 Ó fi ìdè yí omi òkun ká, títí dé ààlà ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti òkùnkùn.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Ọ̀wọ́n òpó ọ̀run wárìrì, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n sì ìbáwí rẹ̀.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ó fi ipá rẹ̀ dààmú omi Òkun; nípa òye rẹ̀, ó gé agbéraga sí wẹ́wẹ́.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 Nípa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ni ó ti ṣe ọ̀run ní ọ̀ṣọ́; ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó fi dá ejò wíwọ́ nì.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift 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?”
Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him. But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
