Job 32
1 Ona tri čovjeka prestadoše Jobu odgovarati, jer je on sebe smatrao nevinim.
But these three men ceased to answer Job, because he considered himself justified.
2 Nato se rasrdi Elihu, sin Barakeelov, iz Buza, od plemena Ramova: planu gnjevom na Joba zato što je sebe držao pravednim pred Bogom;
And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and indignant. But he was angry against Job because he described himself to be just in the presence of God.
3 a planu gnjevom i na tri njegova prijatelja jer nisu više našli ništa što bi odgovorili te su tako Boga osudili.
Moreover, he was indignant with his friends because they had not found a reasonable response, except in so far as they condemned Job.
4 Dok su oni govorili s Jobom, Elihu je šutio, jer su oni bili stariji od njega.
Therefore, Eliu waited while Job was talking, for these were his elders that were speaking.
5 Ali kad vidje da ona tri čovjeka nisu više imala odgovora u ustima, planu od srdžbe.
But when he saw that these three were not able to respond, he was extremely angry.
6 I progovorivši, Elihu, sin Barakeelov, iz Buza, reče: “Po godinama svojim još mlad sam ja, a u duboku vi ste ušli starost; bojažljivo se zato ja ustezah znanje svoje pokazati pred vama.
And so Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite responded by saying: I am younger in years, and you are more ancient; therefore, I kept my head low, for I was afraid to reveal to you my opinion.
7 Mišljah u sebi: 'Govorit će starost, mnoge godine pokazat će mudrost.'
For I had hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8 Uistinu, dah neki u ljudima, duh Svesilnog mudrim čini čovjeka.
But I see now that there is only breath in men, and that it is the inspiration of the Almighty that gives understanding.
9 Dob poodmakla ne daje mudrosti a niti starost pravednosti uči.
The wise are not the aged, nor do the elders understand judgment.
10 Zato vas molim, poslušajte mene da vam i ja znanje svoje izložim.
Therefore, I will speak. Listen to me, and so I will show you my wisdom.
11 S pažnjom sam vaše besjede pratio i razloge sam vaše saslušao dok ste tražili što ćete kazati.
For I have endured your words; I have paid attention to your deliberations, while you were being argumentative with words.
12 Na vama moja sva bijaše pažnja, al' ne bi nikog da Joba pobije ni da mu od vas tko riječ opovrgne.
And as long as I supposed that you were saying something, I considered; but now I see that there is none of you that is able to argue with Job and to respond to his words.
13 Nemojte reći: 'Na mudrost smo naišli! Bog će ga pobit jer čovjek ne može.'
So that you will not say, “We have found wisdom,” God has thrown him down, not man.
14 Nije meni on besjedu upravio: odvratit mu neću vašim riječima.
He has said nothing to me, and I will not respond to him according to your words.
15 Poraženi, otpovrgnut ne mogu, riječi zapeše u grlu njihovu.
Then they were filled with dread, and so they no longer responded, and they withdrew from their speechmaking.
16 Čekao sam! Al', gle, oni ne zbore. Umukoše, ni riječ više da kažu!
Therefore, because I have waited and they have not been speaking, for they stood firm and did not respond at all,
17 Na meni je da progovorim sada, znanje ću svoje i ja izložiti.
I also will answer in my turn, and I will reveal my knowledge.
18 Riječi mnoge u meni naviru dok iznutra moj duh mene nagoni.
For I am full of words, and the feeling in my gut inspires me.
19 Gle, nutrina mi je k'o mošt zatvoren, k'o nova će se raspući mješina.
Yes, my stomach is like fermenting wine without a vent, which bursts the new containers.
20 Da mi odlane, govorit ću stoga, otvorit ću usne i odvratit' vama.
I should speak, but I will also breathe a little; I will open my lips, and I will answer.
21 Nijednoj strani priklonit se neću niti laskat ja namjeravam kome.
I will not esteem the reputation of a man, and I will not equate God with man.
22 Laskati ja ne umijem nikako, jer smjesta bi me Tvorac moj smaknuo.
For I do not know how long I will continue, and whether, after a while, my Maker might take me away.
