Jó 26
1 Porém Job respondeu e disse:
Then Job responded by saying:
2 Como ajudaste aquelle que não tinha força? e sustentaste o braço que não tinha vigor?
Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 Como aconselhaste aquelle que não tinha sabedoria, e plenamente lhe fizeste saber a causa, assim como era?
To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
4 A quem proferiste palavras? e cujo é o espirito que saiu de ti?
Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 Os mortos tremem debaixo das aguas, com os seus moradores d'ellas.
Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)
7 O norte estende sobre o vazio: a terra pendura sobre o nada.
He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 Prende as aguas nas suas nuvens, todavia a nuvem não se rasga debaixo d'ellas.
He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 Encobre a face do seu throno, e sobre ella estende a sua nuvem.
He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 Assignalou limite sobre a superficie das aguas ao redor d'ellas, até que se acabem a luz e as trevas.
He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 As columnas do céu tremem, e se espantam da sua ameaça.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 Com a sua força fende o mar, e com o seu entendimento abate a sua soberba.
By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 Pelo seu Espirito ornou os céus: a sua mão formou a serpente enroscadiça.
His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Eis que isto são só as bordas dos seus caminhos; e quão pouco é o que temos ouvido d'elle! Quem pois entenderia o trovão do seu poder?
Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
