Job 26
1 Toda Job je odgovoril in rekel:
But Job answered and said,
2 »Kako si pomagal tistemu, ki je brez moči? Kako rešuješ laket, ki nima moči?
How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
3 Kako si svetoval tistemu, ki nima modrosti? Kako si obilno oznanil stvar, kakor je ta?
How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Komu si izrekal besede? Čigav duh je prišel od tebe?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 Mrtve stvari so oblikovane pod vodami in njihovi prebivalci.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Sever izteguje nad praznim krajem in zemljo obeša na nič.
He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 Vode povezuje v svoje debele oblake in pod njimi se oblak ne pretrga.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Zadržuje obličje svojega prestola in svoj oblak razprostira nad njim.
He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 Vode je obdal z vezmi, dokler dan in noč ne prideta do konca.
He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Stebri nebes trepetajo in so osupli ob njegovem opominu.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 On s svojo močjo razdeljuje morje in s svojim razumevanjem udarja po ponosnih.
He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
13 S svojim duhom je okrasil nebo; njegova roka je oblikovala sprijeno kačo.
By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
14 Glej! To so delčki njegovih poti. Toda kako majhen delček je slišati o njem? Toda kdo lahko razume grom njegove moči?«
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
