< Jov 26 >

1 A Jov odgovori i reèe:
Then Job answered and said,
2 Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
How hast thou helped him that is without power! how hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
They that are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.
He stretcheth out the north over 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 thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
He closeth in the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.
He stirreth up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
By his spirit the heavens are garnished; his hand hath pierced the swift 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 are but the outskirts of his ways: and how small a whisper do we hear of him! but the thunder of his power who can understand?
