Jobs 26
1 Da tok Job til orde og sa:
And Job answers and says:
2 Hvor du har hjulpet den avmektige, støttet den kraftløse arm!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Hvor du har gitt den uvise råd, og hvilket overmål av visdom du har lagt for dagen!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Hvem har du fremført dine ord for, og hvis ånd har talt gjennem dig?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Dødsrikets skygger skjelver, vannenes dyp og de som bor i dem.
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 Han breder Norden ut over det øde rum, han henger jorden på intet.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Han binder vannene sammen i sine skyer, og skyene brister ikke under dem.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Han lukker for sin trone, breder sine skyer over den.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 En grense har han dradd i en ring over vannene, der hvor lyset grenser til mørket.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Himmelens støtter skjelver, og de forferdes for hans trusel.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Ved sin kraft oprører han havet, og ved sin forstand knuser han Rahab.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Ved hans ånde blir himmelen klar; hans hånd gjennemborer den lettfarende drage.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Se, dette er bare utkantene av hans verk; hvor svak er lyden av det ord vi hører! Men hans veldes torden - hvem forstår den?
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?”
