Job 26
1 BUT Job answered and said,
Job progovori i reče:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
“Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
4 To 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 Dead things are formed from under 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 the empty place, and 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 holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but 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?”
