Job 26
1 Then answered Job, and said,
Job progovori i reče:
2 What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
“Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
3 How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
4 To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
5 The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
6 Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Pred njegovim okom otkriven zja Šeol i bezdan smrti nema vela na sebi. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
8 He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
9 He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
10 A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
12 By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
13 By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.
Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
14 Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
