Job 26
1 Job svarade, och sade:
Then Job answered,
2 Hvem äst du biståndig? Dem som ingen magt hafver? Hjelper du honom, som ingen starkhet hafver i armenom?
"How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
3 Hvem gifver du råd? Dem som intet vet? Och du bär fram dina stora gerningar?
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
4 För hvem talar du? Och inför hvem går anden ifrå dig?
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
5 De Reser ängslas under vattnen, och de som när dem bo.
"Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han sträcker ut nordet på ingo, och hänger jordena uppå intet.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 Vattnet samkar han i sina skyar, och skyarna remna icke derunder.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Han håller sin stol, och utbreder sin sky derföre.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 Han hafver satt ett mål om vattnet, intilldess ljus och mörker blifver ändadt.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Himmelens stodar skälfva, och gifva sig för hans näpst.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 För hans kraft varder hafvet hasteliga stormande, och för hans klokhet stillar sig hafsens höghet.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 På himmelen varder det klart igenom hans väder, och hans hand drifver bort hvalfisken.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Si, alltså går det till med hans gerningar; men hvad besynnerligit hafve vi derutinnan hört? Ho kan förstå hans magts dunder?
Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him. But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
