Job 26
1 And Job answered and said,
Job progovori i reče:
2 How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
“Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
4 For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
Pred njegovim okom otkriven zja Šeol i bezdan smrti nema vela na sebi. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
9 He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
10 He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
12 He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
14 Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
