< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered and said:
A Jov odgovori i reèe:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
Kako si pomogao slabome! kako si izbavio ruku nejaku!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Kako si svjetovao onoga koji je bez mudrosti i pokazao razum izobila!
4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
Kome si govorio te rijeèi? i èiji je duh izašao iz tebe?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
I mrtve stvari stvorene su pod vodama i stanovnici njihovi.
6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Otkriven je pakao pred njim, niti ima pokrivaèa pogibli. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
On je razastro sjever nad prazninom, i zemlju objesio ni na èem.
8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Zavezuje vode u oblacima svojim, i ne prodire se oblak pod njima.
9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
Drži prijesto svoj, razapinje oblak svoj nad njim.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Meðu je postavio oko vode dokle ne bude kraj svjetlosti i mraku.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
Stupovi nebeski tresu se i drkæu od prijetnje njegove.
12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
Silom je svojom pocijepao more i razumom svojim razbio bjesnilo njegovo.
13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
Duhom je svojim ukrasio nebesa, i ruka je njegova stvorila prugu zmiju.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
Gle, to su dijelovi putova njegovijeh; ali kako je mali dio što èusmo o njemu? i ko æe razumjeti grom sile njegove?
