Job 26
1 Så tog Job til Orde og svarede:
Job replied,
2 "Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
“How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3 Hvor har du dog rådet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4 Hvem hjalp dig med at få Ordene frem, hvis Ånd mon der talte af dig?
Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
5 Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden på intet;
He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8 Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9 han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10 han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
11 Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
12 med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
13 ved hans Ånde klarede Himlen op hans Hånd gennembored den flygtende Slange.
The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
14 Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel 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?”
