Job 26
1 Da svarede Job og sagde:
Job replied,
2 Hvad har du hjulpet den, som ingen Kraft havde? frelste du den Arm, som ingen Styrke havde?
“How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3 Hvorledes raadede du den, som ingen Visdom havde, og kundgjorde Indsigt til Overflod?
What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4 For hvem har du kundgjort Tale, og hvis Aande talte ud af dig?
Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
5 Dødningerne bæve neden under Vandene og deres Beboere.
The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han udbreder Norden over det øde, han hænger Jorden paa intet.
He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8 Han binder Vandet sammen i sine Skyer, dog brister Skydækket ikke under dem.
He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9 Han lukker for sin Trone, han udbreder sin Sky over den.
He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10 Han har draget en Grænse oven over Vandene indtil der, hvor Lyset ender i Mørke.
On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
11 Himmelens Piller skælve og forfærdes for hans Trusel.
The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
12 Ved sin Kraft oprører han Havet, og med sin Forstand bryder han dets Hovmod.
He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
13 Ved hans Aande blive Himlene dejlige; hans Haand gennemborer den flygtende Slange.
The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
14 Se, disse ere de yderste Grænser af hans Veje, og hvor svag er Lyden af det Ord, som vi have hørt deraf? Men hans Vældes Torden — hvo forstaar den!
This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
