Job 26
1 Saa tog Job til Orde og svarede:
And Job answered and said,
2 Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 Hvor har du dog raadet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 Hvem hjalp dig med at faa Ordene frem, hvis Aand mon der talte af dig?
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden paa intet;
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
8 Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 ved hans Aande klarede Himlen op hans Haand gennembored den flygtende Slange.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel den?
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
