< Job 26 >

1 Then Job responded by saying:
А Јов одговори и рече:
2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
Како си помогао слабоме! Како си избавио руку нејаку!
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.
Како си световао оног који је без мудрости и показао разум изобила!
4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
Коме си говорио те речи? И чији је дух изашао из тебе?
5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
И мртве ствари створене су под водама и становници њихови.
6 The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)
Откривен је пакао пред Њим, нити има покривача погибли. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
Он је разастро и север над празнином, и земљу обесио ни о чем.
8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
Завезује воде у облацима својим, и не продире се облак под њима.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
Држи престо свој, разапиње облак свој над њим.
10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
Међу је поставио око воде докле не буде крај светлости и мраку.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
Ступови небески тресу се и дрхћу од претње Његове.
12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
Силом је својом поцепао море и разумом својим разбио беснило његово.
13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
Духом је својим украсио небеса, и рука је Његова створила пругу змију.
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?
Гле, то су делови путева Његових; али како је мали део што чусмо о Њему? И ко ће разумети гром силе Његове?
