Job 26
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
Then Job answered and said,
2 ¿En qué ayudaste al que no tiene fuerza? ¿has amparado al brazo sin fortaleza?
“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 ¿En qué aconsejaste al que no tiene ciencia, y mostraste bien sabiduría?
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 ¿A quién has anunciado palabras, y cúyo es el espíritu que de ti sale?
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 Cosas inanimadas son formadas debajo de las aguas, y los habitantes de ellas.
The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him. (Sheol h7585)
7 Extiende el aquilón sobre vacío, cuelga la tierra sobre nada.
He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
8 Ata las aguas en sus nubes, y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 El restriñe la faz de su trono, y sobre él extiende su nube.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 El cercó con término la superficie de las aguas, hasta el fin de la luz y las tinieblas.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
11 Las columnas del cielo tiemblan, y se espantan de su reprensión.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 El rompe la mar con su poder, y con su entendimiento hiere la hinchazón [suya].
He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Su espíritu adornó los cielos; su mano crió la serpiente tortuosa.
By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 He aquí, estas son partes de sus caminos: ¡mas cuán poco hemos oído de él! Porque el estruendo de sus fortalezas, ¿quién lo detendrá?
See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
