Job 26
1 Entonces Job respondió,
Then Job made answer and said,
2 “¡Cómo has ayudado al que no tiene poder! ¡Cómo has salvado el brazo que no tiene fuerza!
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 ¿Cómo has aconsejado al que no tiene sabiduría, ¡y declararon abundantemente el conocimiento sólido!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 ¿A quién le has dicho palabras? ¿De quién es el espíritu que ha salido de ti?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 “Los espíritus difuntos tiemblan, los que están debajo de las aguas y todos los que viven en ellas.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Extiende el norte sobre el espacio vacío, y cuelga la tierra en la nada.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Él ata las aguas en sus densas nubes, y la nube no está reventada bajo ellos.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Encierra la cara de su trono, y extiende su nube sobre ella.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Ha descrito un límite en la superficie de las aguas, y a los confines de la luz y la oscuridad.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Las columnas del cielo tiemblan y se asombran de su reprimenda.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Él agita el mar con su poder, y por su entendimiento golpea a través de Rahab.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Por su Espíritu se adornan los cielos. Su mano ha atravesado la serpiente veloz.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 He aquí que éstos no son más que las afueras de sus caminos. ¡Qué pequeño es el susurro que oímos de él! Pero el trueno de su poder ¿quién puede entenderlo?”
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
