< Књига о Јову 26 >

1 А Јов одговори и рече:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 Како си помогао слабоме! Како си избавио руку нејаку!
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 Како си световао оног који је без мудрости и показао разум изобила!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Коме си говорио те речи? И чији је дух изашао из тебе?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 И мртве ствари створене су под водама и становници њихови.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
6 Откривен је пакао пред Њим, нити има покривача погибли. (Sheol h7585)
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Он је разастро и север над празнином, и земљу обесио ни о чем.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Завезује воде у облацима својим, и не продире се облак под њима.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Држи престо свој, разапиње облак свој над њим.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Међу је поставио око воде докле не буде крај светлости и мраку.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Ступови небески тресу се и дрхћу од претње Његове.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Силом је својом поцепао море и разумом својим разбио беснило његово.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Духом је својим украсио небеса, и рука је Његова створила пругу змију.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Гле, то су делови путева Његових; али како је мали део што чусмо о Њему? И ко ће разумети гром силе Његове?
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.
