< 욥기 26 >

1 욥이 대답하여 가로되
Job replied [to Bildad], saying this [sarcastically]:
2 네가 힘 없는 자를 참 잘 도왔구나 기력 없는 팔을 참 잘 구원하였구나
“I am a very weak and helpless man; and (you [certainly] have not helped me [SAR] very much!/[do you think that] you have helped me [SAR] very much?) [RHQ]
3 지혜 없는 자를 참 잘 가르쳤구나 큰 지식을 참 잘 나타내었구나
(You certainly have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all./[Do you think that] you have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all?) [RHQ] ([I’m sure you think that] you have given a lot of very good advice to me. [RHQ]
4 네가 누구를 향하여 말을 내었느냐 뉘 신이 네게서 나왔느냐
Who helped you to say all those [great/wise] things? Who inspired you to speak like you did?”
5 음령들이 큰 물과 수족 밑에서 떠나니
“[Because] the spirits of dead people [are afraid], [they] tremble in the waters that are deep under the earth.
6 하나님 앞에는 음부도 드러나며 멸망의 웅덩이도 가리움이 없음 이니라 (Sheol h7585)
God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol h7585)
7 그는 북편 하늘을 허공에 펴시며 땅을 공간에 다시며
God stretched out the earth over the huge empty space and caused the earth to have nothing [to support it].
8 물을 빽빽한 구름에 싸시나 그 밑의 구름이 찢어지지 아니하느니라
He fills the thick/dense clouds with water and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
9 그는 자기의 보좌 앞을 가리우시고 자기 구름으로 그 위에 펴시며
He causes clouds to (obscure/prevent us from seeing) the moon.
10 수면에 경계를 그으셨으되 빛과 어두움의 지경까지 한정을 세우셨느니라
He separated the light from the darkness and put the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
11 그가 꾸짖으신즉 하늘 기둥이 떨며 놀라느니라
When [he is angry, it is as though] he rebukes the pillars that hold up the sky. They are (shocked/very fearful), and they tremble.
12 그는 권능으로 바다를 흉용케 하시며 지혜로 라합을 쳐서 파하시며
With his power he calmed the sea; with his skill/wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
13 그 신으로 하늘을 단장하시고 손으로 날랜 뱀을 찌르시나니
With his breath he caused the sky to be bright/clear; with his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea.
14 이런 것은 그 행사의 시작점이요 우리가 그에게 대하여 들은 것도 심히 세미한 소리뿐이니라 그 큰 능력의 우뢰야 누가 능히 측량하랴
But those events show only a small amount of his power; [it is as though] we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice. When we hear thunder, [we say, ] ‘(Who can really understand [how great] his power [is]/No one can [really] understand [how great] his power [is]!) [RHQ]’”
