Job 26

1 Then Job responded by saying:

Mgbe ahụ, Job zaghachiri:

2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?

“Lee ka i si nyere onye na-adịghị ike aka! Leekwa ka i si zọpụta ogwe aka nke onye ume na-adịghị!

3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.

Lee ụdị ndụmọdụ i nyerela onye na-enweghị amamihe! Leekwa ụdị oke nghọta nke ị gosipụtara.

4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?

Ọ bụ onye nyeere gị aka ikwu okwu ndị a? Mmụọ onye si nʼọnụ gị kwuo okwu?

5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.

“Ndị nwụrụ anwụ nọ nʼoke ihe mgbu, ha na ndị nọ nʼokpuru mmiri na ndị bi nʼime ya.

6 The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)

Ala mmụọ gba ọtọ nʼihu Chineke; mbibi tọgbọkwara na-enweghị ihe kpuchiri ya. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.

Ọ na-agbasapụ elu elu nke mbara eluigwe nʼelu ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. O nweghị ihe o kokwasịrị ụwa nʼelu ya.

8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.

Ọ na-ekechi mmiri nʼime igwe ojii, ma ịdị arọ ya adịghị eme ka igwe ojii gbawaa.

9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.

Ọ na-ekpuchi ihu ọnwa nke dị nʼuju ya, na-agbasakwa igwe ojii ya nʼelu ya,

10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.

O kewapụtara oke nʼelu ogbu mmiri, ka ọ bụrụ oke dị nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.

Ogidi niile nke eluigwe na-ama jijiji, tụọkwa oke egwu nʼihi ịba mba ya.

12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.

Nʼike ya ka o ji kpalie oke osimiri; ọ bụ amamihe ya ka o ji tigbuo Rehab.

13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.

Ọ bụ site na nkuume ya ka mbara eluigwe ji maa mma; aka ya dupuru agwọ na-agba ọsọ.

14 Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?

Ihe ndị a bụ ọnụ ọnụ ọrụ aka ya; lee ka o si dị nta bụ okwu ntakwu anyị na-anụ gbasara ya! Onye pụrụ ịghọtacha ịda ụda nke ike ya?”
