Jó 26
1 Porém Job respondeu e disse:
Then Job answered and said,
2 Como ajudaste aquelle que não tinha força? e sustentaste o braço que não tinha vigor?
“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Como aconselhaste aquelle que não tinha sabedoria, e plenamente lhe fizeste saber a causa, assim como era?
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 A quem proferiste palavras? e cujo é o espirito que saiu de ti?
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 Os mortos tremem debaixo das aguas, com os seus moradores d'ellas.
The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him. (Sheol h7585)
7 O norte estende sobre o vazio: a terra pendura sobre o nada.
He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
8 Prende as aguas nas suas nuvens, todavia a nuvem não se rasga debaixo d'ellas.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 Encobre a face do seu throno, e sobre ella estende a sua nuvem.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 Assignalou limite sobre a superficie das aguas ao redor d'ellas, até que se acabem a luz e as trevas.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
11 As columnas do céu tremem, e se espantam da sua ameaça.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Com a sua força fende o mar, e com o seu entendimento abate a sua soberba.
He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Pelo seu Espirito ornou os céus: a sua mão formou a serpente enroscadiça.
By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing 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?
See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
