Job 26
1 Toda Job je odgovoril in rekel:
And Job answereth and saith: —
2 »Kako si pomagal tistemu, ki je brez moči? Kako rešuješ laket, ki nima moči?
What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Kako si svetoval tistemu, ki nima modrosti? Kako si obilno oznanil stvar, kakor je ta?
What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
4 Komu si izrekal besede? Čigav duh je prišel od tebe?
With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
5 Mrtve stvari so oblikovane pod vodami in njihovi prebivalci.
The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Sever izteguje nad praznim krajem in zemljo obeša na nič.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
8 Vode povezuje v svoje debele oblake in pod njimi se oblak ne pretrga.
Binding 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.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
10 Vode je obdal z vezmi, dokler dan in noč ne prideta do konca.
A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Stebri nebes trepetajo in so osupli ob njegovem opominu.
Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 On s svojo močjo razdeljuje morje in s svojim razumevanjem udarja po ponosnih.
By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
13 S svojim duhom je okrasil nebo; njegova roka je oblikovala sprijeno kačo.
By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand 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?«
Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
