Jób 26
1 A odpovídaje Job, řekl:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 Komu jsi napomohl? Tomu-li, kterýž nemá síly? Toho-lis retoval, kterýž jest bez moci?
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Komu jsi rady udělil? Nemoudrému-li? Hned jsi základu dostatečně poučil?
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Komužs ty řeči zvěstoval? A čí duch vyšel z tebe?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 Však i mrtvé věci pod vodami a obyvateli jejich sformovány bývají.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ontě roztáhl půlnoční stranu nad prázdnem, zavěsil zemi na ničemž.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Zavazuje vody v oblacích svých, aniž se trhá oblak pod nimi.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 On sám zdržuje stále trůn svůj, a roztahuje na něm oblaky své.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Cíl vyměřil rozlévání se vodám, až do skonání světla a tmy.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Sloupové nebeští třesou se a pohybují od žehrání jeho.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Mocí svou rozdělil moře, a rozumností svou dutí jeho.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Duchem svým nebesa ozdobil, a ruka jeho sformovala hada dlouhého.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Aj, toť jsou jen částky cest jeho, a jak nestižitelné jest i to maličko, což jsme slyšeli o něm. Hřímání pak moci jeho kdo srozumí?
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
