Job 26
1 Så tog Job til Orde og svarede:
Then Job responded by saying:
2 "Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 Hvor har du dog rådet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
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 Hvem hjalp dig med at få Ordene frem, hvis Ånd mon der talte af dig?
Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
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 Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden på intet;
He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 ved hans Ånde klarede Himlen op hans Hånd gennembored den flygtende Slange.
His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel den?
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?
