Ayub 26
1 Tetapi Ayub menjawab:
Then Job answered,
2 "Alangkah baiknya bantuanmu kepada yang tidak kuat, dan pertolonganmu kepada lengan yang tidak berdaya!
"How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
3 Alangkah baiknya nasihatmu kepada orang yang tidak mempunyai hikmat, dan pengertian yang kauajarkan dengan limpahnya!
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
4 Atas anjuran siapakah engkau mengucapkan perkataan-perkataan itu, dan gagasan siapakah yang kaunyatakan?
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
5 Roh-roh di bawah menggeletar, demikian juga air dan penghuninya.
"Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Allah membentangkan utara di atas kekosongan, dan menggantungkan bumi pada kehampaan.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 Ia membungkus air di dalam awan-Nya, namun awan itu tidak robek.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Ia menutupi pemandangan takhta-Nya, melingkupinya dengan awan-Nya.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 Ia telah menarik garis pada permukaan air, sampai ujung perbatasan antara terang dan gelap;
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 tiang-tiang langit bergoyang-goyang, tercengang-cengang oleh hardik-Nya.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ia telah meneduhkan laut dengan kuasa-Nya dan meremukkan Rahab dengan kebijaksanaan-Nya.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 Oleh nafas-Nya langit menjadi cerah, tangan-Nya menembus ular yang tangkas.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Sesungguhnya, semuanya itu hanya ujung-ujung jalan-Nya; betapa lembutnya bisikan yang kita dengar dari pada-Nya! Siapa dapat memahami guntur kuasa-Nya?"
Look, 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?"
