Job 26
1 Then Job answered,
| ויען איוב ויאמר |
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
| מה-עזרת ללא-כח הושעת זרוע לא-עז |
3 How have you counselled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
| מה-יעצת ללא חכמה ותשיה לרב הודעת |
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
| את-מי הגדת מלין ונשמת-מי יצאה ממך |
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
| הרפאים יחוללו-- מתחת מים ושכניהם |
| ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון (Sheol h7585) |
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
| נטה צפון על-תהו תלה ארץ על-בלימה |
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
| צרר-מים בעביו ולא-נבקע ענן תחתם |
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
| מאחז פני-כסה פרשז עליו עננו |
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
| חק-חג על-פני-מים-- עד-תכלית אור עם-חשך |
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
| עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו |
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
| בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו (ובתבונתו) מחץ רהב |
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
| ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש ברח |
14 Behold, 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?”
| הן-אלה קצות דרכו-- ומה-שמץ דבר נשמע-בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן |
