Job 26

1 Job replied,

ヨブこたへて曰く

2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.

なんぢ能力なき者を如何に助けしや 氣力なきものを如何に救ひしや

3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.

智慧なき者を如何に誨へしや 穎悟の道を如何に多く示ししや

4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?

なんぢ誰にむかひて言語を出ししや なんぢより出しは誰が靈なるや

5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.

陰靈水またその中に居る者の下に慄ふ

6 Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)

かれの御前には陰府も顯露なり 滅亡の坑も蔽ひ匿す所なし (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.

彼は北の天を虚空に張り 地を物なき所に懸けたまふ

8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.

水を濃雲の中に包みたまふてその下の雲裂ず

9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.

御寳座の面を隱して雲をその上に展べ

10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.

水の面に界を設けて光と暗とに限を立たまふ

11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.

かれ叱咤たまへば天の柱震ひかつ怖る

12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.

その權能をもて海を靜めその智慧をもてラハブを撃碎き

13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.

その氣嘘をもて天を輝かせ 其手をもて逃る蛇を衝とほしたまふ

14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”

視よ是等はただその御工作の端なるのみ 我らが聞く所の者は如何にも微細なる耳語ならずや 然どその權能の雷轟に至りては誰かこれを曉らんや
