Job 26
1 Then Job answered,
Toda Job je odgovoril in rekel:
2 "How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
»Kako si pomagal tistemu, ki je brez moči? Kako rešuješ laket, ki nima moči?
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
Kako si svetoval tistemu, ki nima modrosti? Kako si obilno oznanil stvar, kakor je ta?
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
Komu si izrekal besede? Čigav duh je prišel od tebe?
5 "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Mrtve stvari so oblikovane pod vodami in njihovi prebivalci.
Pekel je nag pred njim in uničenje nima pokrivala. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
Sever izteguje nad praznim krajem in zemljo obeša na nič.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
Vode povezuje v svoje debele oblake in pod njimi se oblak ne pretrga.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
Zadržuje obličje svojega prestola in svoj oblak razprostira nad njim.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
Vode je obdal z vezmi, dokler dan in noč ne prideta do konca.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Stebri nebes trepetajo in so osupli ob njegovem opominu.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
On s svojo močjo razdeljuje morje in s svojim razumevanjem udarja po ponosnih.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
S svojim duhom je okrasil nebo; njegova roka je oblikovala sprijeno kačo.
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?"
Glej! To so delčki njegovih poti. Toda kako majhen delček je slišati o njem? Toda kdo lahko razume grom njegove moči?«
