Job 26
1 Job progovori i reče:
And Job answered and said,
2 “Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
8 On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing 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 the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
