1Zase odpovedal Job a riekol:
1Then Job answered,
2Čo si pomohol tomu, kto nemá sily? Jako si zachránil rameno, ktoré nemá vlády?
2“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3Čo si poradil tomu, kto nemá múdrosti? A dal si hojne poznať pravú podstatu vecí!
3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4Komu si zvestoval slová? A čí dych to vyšiel z teba?
4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
5Duchovia mŕtvych sa svíjajú bolesťou pod vodami aj ich spoluobyvatelia.
5“Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6Priepasť šeola je nahá pred ním, a nieto prikrytia abaddonu.
6 Sheol Sheol is the lower world or the grave. is naked before God, and Abaddon Abaddon means Destroyer. has no covering.
7Rozťahuje sever nad prázdnom; zavesil zem na ničom.
7He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8Zaväzuje vody do svojich oblakov, a neroztrhne sa oblak pod nimi.
8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9Drží ukrytú tvár svojho trónu; rozťahuje nad ním svoj oblak;
9He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10ustanovil medze na povrchu vody do kruhu až potiaľ, kde končí svetlo so tmou.
10He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11Stĺpy nebies sa trasú a trnú od jeho žehrania.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12Svojou silou búri more a svojím umom drtí Rahaba.
12He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13Od jeho ducha nebesia báj; jeho ruka prebodne dlhého hada.
13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14Hľa, to sú výbežky jeho ciest. A jaký je to ešte len šepot toho, čo sme počuli o ňom! A hromu jeho hrdinskej sily kto porozumie?!
14Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
