Job 26
1 Then Job made answer and said,
Job progovori i reče:
2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
“Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
Pred njegovim okom otkriven zja Šeol i bezdan smrti nema vela na sebi. (Sheol h7585)
7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
14 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.
Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
