Job 26
1 Job progovori i reče:
Then Job answered, and said,
2 “Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
How thou have helped him who is without power! How thou have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
How thou have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
To whom have thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
Those who are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants of it.
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He has described a boundary upon the face of the waters, to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through Rahab.
13 Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
Lo, these are but the periphery of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
