< Jov 26 >

1 A Jov odgovori i reèe:
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
3 Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
4 Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
5 I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
6 Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)
Naked is hades before him, and there is no covering to destruction; (Sheol h7585)
7 On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.
Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
8 Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.
Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
9 Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
10 Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
11 Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.
The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
12 Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.
By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
13 Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing 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 the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
