< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered,
To naah Job mah,
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
kawbangmaw thacak ai kami to na bomh, bantha cak ai kami to na pahlong?
3 How have you counselled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Kawbangmaw palungha ai kami khaeah lok na thuih pae? Kawbangmaw kahoih poekhaih to paroeai kaminawk khaeah nam tuengsak?
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
Hae lok hae mi han ih maw na thuih? Nang khae hoi angzo muithla loe mi ih maw?
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Tuinawk tlim ah kaom kadueh kaminawk, tui thungah kaom hmuennawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Hell loe Sithaw hmaa ah bangkrai ah ni oh, amrohaih loe kraenghaih akhuem om ai. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
Anih mah aluek bang ih van to tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah payuengh moe, tidoeh kaom ai ahmuen nuiah long to a bangh.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
Kathah tamai nuiah tuinawk to a suek; toe tui kazit mah tamai to tapoksak ai.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
Anih mah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to khuk moe, angmah ih tamai to a nuiah taboksak.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
Tui nuiah kawk parai ramri to a sak moe, aanghaih hoi vinghaih salakah a suek.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Anih mah thuitaek naah, van ih tungnawk to anghuenh moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
A thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to tapraek moe, palunghahaih hoiah amoekhaih to koihsak.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
Angmah ih Muithla hoiah van to krang kahoih ah pathoep moe, a ban hoiah kasae pahui to sak.
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
Khenah, hae hmuennawk loe a sak ih hmuen aqai ah ni oh o vop; aicae mah anih ih lok zetta ni a thaih o vop; toe a thacakhaih khopazih tuen loe mi mah maw panoek thai tih?
