Job 26
1 Job progovori i reče:
Then Job answered and said:
2 “Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth 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.
The nether-world 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 the empty space, and hangeth the earth over 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 closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of 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 heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
He stirreth up the sea with 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 breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant 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 outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
