Job 26
1 Then Job answered:
Saa tog Job til Orde og svarede:
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
Hvor har du dog raadet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
Hvem hjalp dig med at faa Ordene frem, hvis Aand mon der talte af dig?
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
blottet er Dødsriget for ham, Afgrunden uden Dække. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden paa intet;
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
ved hans Aande klarede Himlen op hans Haand gennembored den flygtende Slange.
14 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?”
Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel den?
