Job 26
1 Job progovori i reče:
And Job answers and says:
2 “Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
Binding 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.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has 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?”
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
