Job 26
1 Then Job made answer and said,
ヨブこたへて曰く
2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
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 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
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 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
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 shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
陰靈水またその中に居る者の下に慄ふ
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 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging 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 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
水を濃雲の中に包みたまふてその下の雲裂ず
9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
御寳座の面を隱して雲をその上に展べ
10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
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 are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
かれ叱咤たまへば天の柱震ひかつ怖る
12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
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 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
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 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.
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
