Job 26
1 Then Job answered,
Job progovori i reče:
2 "How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
“Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
5 "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
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 stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
14 Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear 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?”
