Job 26

1 Then Job answered, and said:

A Jov odgovori i reèe:

2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?

Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!

3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.

Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!

4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?

Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?

5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.

I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.

6 Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)

Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.

Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.

9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.

Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.

Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.

Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.

12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.

Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.

13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.

Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.

14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?

Gle, to su dijelovi putova njegovijeh; ali kako je mali dio što èusmo o njemu? i ko æe razumjeti grom sile njegove?
