< Job 26 >

1 Toda Job je odgovoril in rekel:
BUT 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 savest thou 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 how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Komu si izrekal besede? Čigav duh je prišel od tebe?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Mrtve stvari so oblikovane pod vodami in njihovi prebivalci.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Pekel je nag pred njim in uničenje nima pokrivala. (Sheol h7585)
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Sever izteguje nad praznim krajem in zemljo obeša na nič.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, 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 holdeth back 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 compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Stebri nebes trepetajo in so osupli ob njegovem opominu.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 On s svojo močjo razdeljuje morje in s svojim razumevanjem udarja po ponosnih.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 S svojim duhom je okrasil nebo; njegova roka je oblikovala sprijeno kačo.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked 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 parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
