< Иов 26 >

1 И отвечал Иов и сказал:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 как ты помог бессильному, поддержал мышцу немощного!
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 Какой совет подал ты немудрому и как во всей полноте объяснил дело!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Кому ты говорил эти слова, и чей дух исходил из тебя?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 Рефаимы трепещут под водами, и живущие в них.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
6 Преисподняя обнажена пред Ним, и нет покрывала Аваддону. (Sheol h7585)
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Он распростер север над пустотою, повесил землю ни на чем.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Он заключает воды в облаках Своих, и облако не расседается под ними.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Он поставил престол Свой, распростер над ним облако Свое.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Черту провел над поверхностью воды, до границ света со тьмою.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Столпы небес дрожат и ужасаются от грозы Его.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Силою Своею волнует море и разумом Своим сражает его дерзость.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 От духа Его - великолепие неба; рука Его образовала быстрого скорпиона.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Вот, это части путей Его; и как мало мы слышали о Нем! А гром могущества Его кто может уразуметь?
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.
