Книга Иова 26
1 Отвещав же Иов, рече:
Then Job answered, and said:
2 кому прилежиши, или кому хощеши помогати? Не сему ли, емуже многа крепость и емуже мышца крепка есть?
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3 Кому совет дал еси? Не емуже ли вся премудрость? Кого поженеши? Не емуже ли превелия сила?
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 Кому возвестил еси глаголы? Дыхание же чие есть исходящее из тебе?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 Еда исполини родятся под водою и соседми ея?
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Простираяй север ни на чемже, повешаяй землю ни на чемже,
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 связуяй воду на облацех Своих, и не расторжеся облак под нею:
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 держай лице престола, простирая над ним облак Свой:
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 повеление окружи на лице воды даже до скончания света со тмою.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 Столпи небеснии прострошася и ужасошася от запрещения Его.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 Крепостию укроти море, и хитростию его низложен бысть кит:
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 вереи же небесныя убояшася Его: повелением же умертви змиа отступника.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Се, сия части пути Его: и о капли слова услышим в Нем: силу же грома Его кто уведа, когда сотворит?
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
