Job 26
1 Ṣùgbọ́n Jobu sì dáhùn wí pé,
But Job answered and said,
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 hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm 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?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou abundantly declared the thing as it is?
4 Ta ni ó ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ láti sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, àti ẹ̀mí ta ni ó gba ẹnu rẹ sọ̀rọ̀?”
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 “Àwọn aláìlágbára ti isà òkú wárìrì, lábẹ́ omi pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and its inhabitants.
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (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 over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Ó di omi pọ̀ nínú ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ó nípọn; àwọsánmọ̀ kò sì ya nísàlẹ̀ wọn.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not torn under them.
9 Ó sì fa ojú ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ sẹ́yìn, ó sì tẹ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ sí i lórí.
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Ó fi ìdè yí omi òkun ká, títí dé ààlà ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti òkùnkùn.
He hath surrounded the waters with a border, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Ọ̀wọ́n òpó ọ̀run wárìrì, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n sì ìbáwí rẹ̀.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 Ó fi ipá rẹ̀ dààmú omi Òkun; nípa òye rẹ̀, ó gé agbéraga sí wẹ́wẹ́.
He divideth the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Nípa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ni ó ti ṣe ọ̀run ní ọ̀ṣọ́; ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó fi dá ejò wíwọ́ nì.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; 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?”
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?
