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 the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
5 Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And 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, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He hath drawn a circular bound upon 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 confounded at his rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
13 Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; 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 but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have heard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
