Job 26

1 And he answered Job and he said.

Så tog Job til Orde og svarede:

2 How! you have helped not power you have saved [the] arm not strength.

"Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!

3 How! you have counseled not wisdom and sound wisdom for abundance you have made known.

Hvor har du dog rådet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!

4 Whom? have you told words and [the] breath of whom? has it gone out from you.

Hvem hjalp dig med at få Ordene frem, hvis Ånd mon der talte af dig?

5 The shades they are made to tremble under [the] waters and [those which] dwell in them.

Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;

6 [is] naked Sheol before him and not a covering [belongs] to Abaddon. (Sheol h7585)

blottet er Dødsriget for ham, Afgrunden uden Dække. (Sheol h7585)

7 [he] stretches out [the] north Over emptiness [he] hangs [the] earth on not whatever.

Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden på intet;

8 [he] binds up Waters in clouds his and not it is split open [the] cloud under them.

Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;

9 [he] covers [the] presence of [the] throne He spreads over it cloud his.

han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;

10 A limit he has drawn a circle on [the] surface of [the] waters to [the] end of light with darkness.

han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.

11 [the] pillars of Heaven they shake and they may be astonished from rebuke his.

Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;

12 By power his he stirred up the sea (and by understanding his *Q(k)*) he shattered Rahab.

med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;

13 By wind his [the] heavens [are] clearness it pierced hand his [the] snake fleeing.

ved hans Ånde klarede Himlen op hans Hånd gennembored den flygtende Slange.

14 There! these - [are] [the] ends of (ways his *Q(K)*) and what! a whisper of a word we hear in it and [the] thunder of (mighty deeds his *Q(K)*) who? will he understand.

Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel den?
