Jobs 26
1 Då svara Job og sagde:
And Job answers and says:
2 Kvar helst hev du den veike hjelpt? Når studde du den trøytte arm?
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Kvar gav du uklok mann ei råd? Kor ovleg visdom hev du synt?
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Kven hev du bore melding til? Kva ånd hev tala gjenom deg?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Skuggarne i angest skjelva, vatsdjup og dei som deri bur.
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 Nordheimen han i audni spana, og hengde jordi yver inkje.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Han vatnet inn i skyer bind; og skyi brest ei under det.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Kongsstolen sin han gøymer burt og breider skyer yver honom.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Kring vatni han ei grensa set, der som ljos og myrker byta skal.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Stolparne under himmelen skjelv, og rædde vert dei for hans trugsmål.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Han rører havet upp med velde, og med sit vit han krasar ubeist.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Og himmelen klårnar ved hans ande; hans hand den snøgge ormen drap.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Sjå her utkanten av hans veg; det berre kviskring er me høyrer. Kven skynar, når hans allmagt torar?
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?”
