Job 26
1 Job progovori i reče:
But Job answered and said,
2 “Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?
5 Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it.
9 On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
11 Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
13 Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
14 Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
