Job's Reply to Bildad
You Have Really Been Helpful
1 Job said:
2 You have really been helpful
to someone weak and weary.
3 You have given great advice
and wonderful wisdom
to someone truly in need.
4 How can anyone possibly speak
with such understanding?
5 Remember the terrible trembling
of those in the world of the dead
below the mighty ocean.
6 Nothing in that land
of death and destruction
is hidden from God,
7 who hung the northern sky
and suspended the earth
on empty space.
8 God stores water in clouds,
but they don't burst,
9 and he wraps them around
the face of the moon.
10 On the surface of the ocean,
God has drawn a boundary line
between light and darkness.
11 And columns supporting the sky
tremble at his command.
12 By his power and wisdom,
God conquered the force
of the mighty ocean.
13 The heavens became bright
when he breathed,
and the escaping sea monster
died at his hands.
14 These things are merely a whisper
of God's power at work.
How little we would understand
if this whisper
ever turned into thunder!
Tadrioza Eyobo ro: Ata Ŋgai'dwero Miro Orivoya Tusu yi Märi
1 Eyobo zatadrite ekye:
2 Miye ŋgaopa te ma se mäyuro ono ri,

A'di unina ni uhwe mbara ndaro ro tana unine ya?
