< Job 26 >
1 And Job answers and says:
Saa tog Job til Orde og svarede:
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
Hvor har du dog raadet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
Hvem hjalp dig med at faa Ordene frem, hvis Aand mon der talte af dig?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
6 Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
blottet er Dødsriget for ham, Afgrunden uden Dække. (Sheol )
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden paa intet;
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
ved hans Aande klarede Himlen op hans Haand gennembored den flygtende Slange.
14 Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel den?
