Job 37
1 At this my heart is shaking; it is moved out of its place.
Tudi ob tem moje srce trepeta in je premaknjeno iz svojega mesta.
2 Give ear to the rolling noise of his voice; to the hollow sound which goes out of his mouth.
Pozorno prisluhnite hrupu njegovega glasu in zvoku, ki gre iz njegovih ust.
3 He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.
Tega usmerja pod celotnim nebom in svoje bliskanje do koncev zemlje.
4 After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.
Za tem rjovi glas. Grmi z glasom svoje odličnosti in ne bo jih zadržal, ko se zasliši njegov glas.
5 He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;
Bog s svojim glasom čudovito grmi. Dela velike stvari, ki jih ne moremo doumeti.
6 For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.
Kajti snegu pravi: ›Bodi na zemlji, ‹ podobno majhnemu dežju in velikemu dežju njegove moči.
7 He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.
Pečati roko vsakega človeka, da bi vsi ljudje lahko poznali njegovo delo.
8 Then the beasts go into their holes, and take their rest.
Potem gredo živali v brloge in ostanejo na svojih mestih.
9 Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.
Iz juga prihaja vrtinčast veter in mraz iz severa.
10 By the breath of God ice is made, and the wide waters are shut in.
Z dihom Boga je dana zmrzal in širina vodá je omejena.
11 The thick cloud is weighted with thunder-flame, and the cloud sends out its light;
Tudi z namakanjem obtežuje debel oblak. Razpršuje svoj svetli oblak.
12 And it goes this way and that, round about, turning itself by his guiding, to do whatever he gives orders to be done, on the face of his world of men,
Ta je obrnjen ob njegovih nasvetih, da lahko naredijo karkoli jim zapoveduje na obličju zemeljskega [kroga] na zemlji.
13 For a rod, or for a curse, or for mercy, causing it to come on the mark.
Povzroča mu, da pride, bodisi za grajanje ali za njegovo deželo ali za usmiljenje.
14 Give ear to this, O Job, and keep quiet in your place; and take note of the wonders worked by God.
Prisluhni temu, oh Job. Stoj mirno in preudari čudovita Božja dela.
15 Have you knowledge of God's ordering of his works, how he makes the light of his cloud to be seen?
Ali veš, kdaj jih je Bog razporedil in svetlobi svojega oblaka velel, da zasije?
16 Have you knowledge of the balancings of the clouds, the wonders of him who has all wisdom?
Mar poznaš izravnavanja oblakov, čudovita dela njega, ki je popoln v spoznanju?
17 You, whose clothing is warm, when the earth is quiet because of the south wind,
Kako so tvoje obleke tople, ko z južnim vetrom umiri zemljo?
18 Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?
Ali si ti z njim razprostrl nebo, ki je močno in kakor staljeno zrcalo?
19 Make clear to me what we are to say to him; we are unable to put our cause before him, because of the dark.
Pouči nas, kaj mu bomo rekli, kajti svojega govora ne moremo urediti zaradi teme.
20 How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?
Mar mu bo povedano, da jaz govorim? Če človek govori, bo zagotovo požrt.
21 And now the light is not seen, for it is dark because of the clouds; but a wind comes, clearing them away.
Sedaj ljudje ne vidimo svetle svetlobe, ki je v oblakih, toda veter gre mimo in jih očisti.
22 A bright light comes out of the north; God's glory is greatly to be feared.
Lepo vreme prihaja iz severa. Z Bogom je strašno veličanstvo.
23 There is no searching out of the Ruler of all: his strength and his judging are great; he is full of righteousness, doing no wrong.
Glede Vsemogočnega, ne moremo ga srečati. Odličen je v moči, v sodbi in v obilici pravice. Ne bo prizadel.
24 For this cause men go in fear of him; he has no respect for any who are wise in heart.
Ljudje se ga zato bojijo. Ne ozira se na nobenega od tistih, ki so modrega srca.«
