Jób 26
1 Felelt Jób és mondta:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 Mint gyámolítottad a tehetetlent, segítetted az erőtlennek karját!
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Mit tanácsoltál a bölcsességtelennek s valódi tudást bőven ismertettél!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Kinek adtál tudtul szavakat s kinek szelleme fakadt belőled?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 Az árnyak megreszketnek alul a vizeken és lakóikon.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Kiterjeszti az Északot az űr fölé, lebegteti a földet a semmiségen;
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 beköti a vizet felhőibe, s nem hasad meg felleg alatta;
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 befogja a trón felszínét, kiterítette reá fellegét.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Határt vont a vizek színén odáig, hol vége van a világosságnak a sötétség mellett.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Az ég oszlopai megrázkódnak s elámulnak dorgálásától.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Erejével felkavarta a tengert s értelmével összezúzta, Ráhábot.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Fuvallata által derültté válik az ég, átszúrta keze a futó kígyót.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Lám, ezek útjainak szélei, mily csekély nesz az, a mit róla hallunk, de hatalmának dörgését ki foghatja föl!
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
