< Job 26 >

1 But Job answered and said,
A Jov odgovori i reèe:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, 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 thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
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?
Gle, to su dijelovi putova njegovijeh; ali kako je mali dio što èusmo o njemu? i ko æe razumjeti grom sile njegove?
