Job 26
1 Et Job répondit et dit:
And Job answers and says:
2 Comme tu as aidé celui qui n’avait pas de puissance! Comme tu as délivré le bras qui était sans force!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Quel conseil tu as donné à celui qui n’avait pas de sagesse! et quelle abondance d’intelligence tu as montrée!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Pour qui as-tu prononcé des paroles, et de qui est le souffle qui est sorti de toi?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Les trépassés tremblent au-dessous des eaux et de ceux qui les habitent.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Il étend le nord sur le vide, il suspend la terre sur le néant.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Il serre les eaux dans ses nuages, et la nuée ne se fend pas sous elles;
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Il couvre la face de son trône et étend ses nuées par-dessus.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Il a tracé un cercle fixe sur la face des eaux, jusqu’à la limite extrême où la lumière confine aux ténèbres.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Les colonnes des cieux branlent et s’étonnent à sa menace.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Il soulève la mer par sa puissance, et, par son intelligence, il brise Rahab.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Par son Esprit le ciel est beau; sa main a formé le serpent fuyard.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Voici, ces choses sont les bords de ses voies, et combien faible est le murmure que nous en avons entendu! Et le tonnerre de sa force, qui peut le comprendre?
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
