Job 26
1 Job progovori i reče:
Then Job answered and said,
2 “Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
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 On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
8 On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
11 Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
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?”
