Job 26
1 Then Job responded by saying:
A odpovídaje Job, řekl:
2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
Komu jsi napomohl? Tomu-li, kterýž nemá síly? Toho-lis retoval, kterýž jest bez moci?
3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
Komu jsi rady udělil? Nemoudrému-li? Hned jsi základu dostatečně poučil?
4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
Komužs ty řeči zvěstoval? A čí duch vyšel z tebe?
5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
Však i mrtvé věci pod vodami a obyvateli jejich sformovány bývají.
Odkryta jest propast před ním, i zahynutí není zakryto. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
Ontě roztáhl půlnoční stranu nad prázdnem, zavěsil zemi na ničemž.
8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
Zavazuje vody v oblacích svých, aniž se trhá oblak pod nimi.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
On sám zdržuje stále trůn svůj, a roztahuje na něm oblaky své.
10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
Cíl vyměřil rozlévání se vodám, až do skonání světla a tmy.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
Sloupové nebeští třesou se a pohybují od žehrání jeho.
12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
Mocí svou rozdělil moře, a rozumností svou dutí jeho.
13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
Duchem svým nebesa ozdobil, a ruka jeho sformovala hada dlouhého.
14 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?
Aj, toť jsou jen částky cest jeho, a jak nestižitelné jest i to maličko, což jsme slyšeli o něm. Hřímání pak moci jeho kdo srozumí?
