< Job 26 >

1 Then responded Job, and said: —
A Jov odgovori i reèe:
2 How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
3 How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
4 Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
5 The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
6 Naked is hades before him, and there is no covering to destruction; (Sheol h7585)
Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)
7 Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.
8 Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.
9 Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
10 A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
11 The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.
12 By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.
13 By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.
Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
14 Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
Gle, to su dijelovi putova njegovijeh; ali kako je mali dio što èusmo o njemu? i ko æe razumjeti grom sile njegove?
