Job 26
1 Så tog Job til Orde og svarede:
Then Job answered:
2 "Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 Hvor har du dog rådet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 Hvem hjalp dig med at få Ordene frem, hvis Ånd mon der talte af dig?
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden på intet;
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 ved hans Ånde klarede Himlen op hans Hånd gennembored den flygtende Slange.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced 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?
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
