< Jov 26 >
Then Job answered, and said:
2 Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3 Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6 Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol )
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol )
7 On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Gle, to su dijelovi putova njegovijeh; ali kako je mali dio što èusmo o njemu? i ko æe razumjeti grom sile njegove?
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
