1Then Job answered and said,
1Siis rääkis Iiob ja ütles:
2How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
2'Kuidas sa küll oled aidanud rammetut, toetanud jõuetut käsivart!
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
3Kuidas sa küll oled rumalale nõu andnud ja suurt tarkust õpetanud!
4To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
4Kelle abiga sa oled pidanud kõnesid ja kelle vaim on sinust välja tulnud?
5They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
5Surnute vaimud all värisevad, hirmu täis on veed ja nende elanikud.
6Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering.
6Paljas on surmavald Jumala ees ja kadupaigal pole katet.
7He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
7Ta laotab põhjakaare tühjuse üle ja riputab maa eimillegi kohale.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.
8Ta seob veed oma pilvedesse ja pilv ei rebenegi nende raskuse all.
9He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
9Ta peidab oma aujärje, laotab selle üle oma pilve.
10He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
10Ta joonistab vetepinnale sõõri kuni valguse ja pimeduse piirini.
11The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
11Taeva sambad kõiguvad ja kohkuvad tema sõitlusest.
12He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
12Oma rammuga liigutab ta merd ja oma taibukuses peksab ta Rahabit.
13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
13Tema hingusest selgib taevas, tema käsi torkab läbi põgeneva mao.
14Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
14Vaata, need on ainult tema tee ääred. Ja see on siiski ainult sosin, mida me temast kuuleme. Aga tema vägevuse äikest - kes seda suudaks mõista?'
