Job 26
1 Så tog Job til Orde og svarede:
And Job answers and says:
2 "Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Hvor har du dog rådet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Hvem hjalp dig med at få Ordene frem, hvis Ånd mon der talte af dig?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden på intet;
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 ved hans Ånde klarede Himlen op hans Hånd gennembored den flygtende Slange.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has 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?
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
