Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:

2 How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?

“Ati nama humna hin qabne hammam gargaarte! Irree laafes hammam jajjabeessite!

3 How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

Nama ogummaa hin qabneef gorsa akkamii kennite! Beekumsa guddaa akkamiis argisiifte!

4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Akka ati dubbii kana dubbattuuf eenyutu si gargaare? Hafuura eenyuutu afaan kee keessaa dubbate?

5 Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

“Warri duʼan, warri bishaanii gadiitii fi kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundii ni hollatu.

6 Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)

Duuti fuula Waaqaa duratti qullaa jira; badiisnis waan isa dhoksu hin qabu. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Waaqni iddoo duwwaa irra samii kaabaa diriirsa; lafas iddoo duwwaa irratti rarraasa.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Inni duumessa isaatiin bishaanota hidhee qaba; duumessi sunis bishaanota jalatti hin dhoʼu.

9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Inni duumessoota isaa itti uffisuudhaan fuula jiʼaa ni haguuga.

10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

Inni fuula bishaanotaa irratti, ifaa fi dukkana gidduu daarii dhaabe.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

Utubaawwan samii ni hollatu; dheekkamsa isaatiinis ni rifatu.

12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

Inni humna isaatiin galaana ni raasa; ogummaa isaatiinis Raʼaabin ni ciccira.

13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Hafuura baafatuun samiiwwan qulqulleesse; harki isaas bofa shawwisaa waraane.

14 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?

Wantoonni kunneen hojii isaa keessaa qarqaruma qofa; hasaasni nu waaʼee isaa dhageenyu hammam xinnaa dha! Yoos kakawwee humna isaa eenyutu hubachuu dandaʼa ree?”
