Jób 26
1 A odpovídaje Job, řekl:
Then Job responded by saying:
2 Komu jsi napomohl? Tomu-li, kterýž nemá síly? Toho-lis retoval, kterýž jest bez moci?
Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 Komu jsi rady udělil? Nemoudrému-li? Hned jsi základu dostatečně poučil?
To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
4 Komužs ty řeči zvěstoval? A čí duch vyšel z tebe?
Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 Však i mrtvé věci pod vodami a obyvateli jejich sformovány bývají.
Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ontě roztáhl půlnoční stranu nad prázdnem, zavěsil zemi na ničemž.
He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 Zavazuje vody v oblacích svých, aniž se trhá oblak pod nimi.
He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 On sám zdržuje stále trůn svůj, a roztahuje na něm oblaky své.
He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 Cíl vyměřil rozlévání se vodám, až do skonání světla a tmy.
He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 Sloupové nebeští třesou se a pohybují od žehrání jeho.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 Mocí svou rozdělil moře, a rozumností svou dutí jeho.
By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 Duchem svým nebesa ozdobil, a ruka jeho sformovala hada dlouhého.
His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
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?
Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
