איוב 26
| ויען איוב ויאמר | 1 |
Then Job answered,
| מה-עזרת ללא-כח הושעת זרוע לא-עז | 2 |
“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
| מה-יעצת ללא חכמה ותשיה לרב הודעת | 3 |
How have you counselled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
| את-מי הגדת מלין ונשמת-מי יצאה ממך | 4 |
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
| הרפאים יחוללו-- מתחת מים ושכניהם | 5 |
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
| ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
| נטה צפון על-תהו תלה ארץ על-בלימה | 7 |
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
| צרר-מים בעביו ולא-נבקע ענן תחתם | 8 |
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
| מאחז פני-כסה פרשז עליו עננו | 9 |
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
| חק-חג על-פני-מים-- עד-תכלית אור עם-חשך | 10 |
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
| עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו | 11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
| בכחו רגע הים ובתובנתו (ובתבונתו) מחץ רהב | 12 |
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
| ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש ברח | 13 |
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
| הן-אלה קצות דרכו-- ומה-שמץ דבר נשמע-בו ורעם גבורתו מי יתבונן | 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?”
