< Иов 26 >
1 И отвечал Иов и сказал:
Then Job responded by saying:
2 как ты помог бессильному, поддержал мышцу немощного!
Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 Какой совет подал ты немудрому и как во всей полноте объяснил дело!
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 Кому ты говорил эти слова, и чей дух исходил из тебя?
Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 Рефаимы трепещут под водами, и живущие в них.
Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
6 Преисподняя обнажена пред Ним, и нет покрывала Аваддону. (Sheol )
The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol )
7 Он распростер север над пустотою, повесил землю ни на чем.
He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 Он заключает воды в облаках Своих, и облако не расседается под ними.
He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 Он поставил престол Свой, распростер над ним облако Свое.
He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 Черту провел над поверхностью воды, до границ света со тьмою.
He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 Столпы небес дрожат и ужасаются от грозы Его.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 Силою Своею волнует море и разумом Своим сражает его дерзость.
By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 От духа Его - великолепие неба; рука Его образовала быстрого скорпиона.
His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Вот, это части путей Его; и как мало мы слышали о Нем! А гром могущества Его кто может уразуметь?
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?
