< Jov 26 >

1 A Jov odgovori i reèe:
Then Job answered,
2 Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
How have you counselled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5 I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to 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 stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has 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?
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
