Job 26
1 Toda Job je odgovoril in rekel:
Then Job answered:
2 »Kako si pomagal tistemu, ki je brez moči? Kako rešuješ laket, ki nima moči?
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 Kako si svetoval tistemu, ki nima modrosti? Kako si obilno oznanil stvar, kakor je ta?
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 Komu si izrekal besede? Čigav duh je prišel od tebe?
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 Mrtve stvari so oblikovane pod vodami in njihovi prebivalci.
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Sever izteguje nad praznim krajem in zemljo obeša na nič.
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 Vode povezuje v svoje debele oblake in pod njimi se oblak ne pretrga.
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 Zadržuje obličje svojega prestola in svoj oblak razprostira nad njim.
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 Vode je obdal z vezmi, dokler dan in noč ne prideta do konca.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 Stebri nebes trepetajo in so osupli ob njegovem opominu.
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 On s svojo močjo razdeljuje morje in s svojim razumevanjem udarja po ponosnih.
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 S svojim duhom je okrasil nebo; njegova roka je oblikovala sprijeno kačo.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Glej! To so delčki njegovih poti. Toda kako majhen delček je slišati o njem? Toda kdo lahko razume grom njegove moči?«
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
