< Job 26 >
1 Toda Job je odgovoril in rekel:
Then Job answered and said,
2 »Kako si pomagal tistemu, ki je brez moči? Kako rešuješ laket, ki nima moči?
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Kako si svetoval tistemu, ki nima modrosti? Kako si obilno oznanil stvar, kakor je ta?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Komu si izrekal besede? Čigav duh je prišel od tebe?
To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 Mrtve stvari so oblikovane pod vodami in njihovi prebivalci.
They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Pekel je nag pred njim in uničenje nima pokrivala. (Sheol )
Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering. (Sheol )
7 Sever izteguje nad praznim krajem in zemljo obeša na nič.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Vode povezuje v svoje debele oblake in pod njimi se oblak ne pretrga.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Zadržuje obličje svojega prestola in svoj oblak razprostira nad njim.
He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Vode je obdal z vezmi, dokler dan in noč ne prideta do konca.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Stebri nebes trepetajo in so osupli ob njegovem opominu.
The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
12 On s svojo močjo razdeljuje morje in s svojim razumevanjem udarja po ponosnih.
He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 S svojim duhom je okrasil nebo; njegova roka je oblikovala sprijeno kačo.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
14 Glej! To so delčki njegovih poti. Toda kako majhen delček je slišati o njem? Toda kdo lahko razume grom njegove moči?«
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?
