Job 35
1 Elihu nastavi svoju besjedu i reče:
Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
2 “Zar ti misliš da pravo svoje braniš, da pravednost pred Bogom dokazuješ,
Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
3 kada mu kažeš: 'Što ti je to važno, i ako griješim, što ti činim time?'
For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
4 Na sve to ja ću odgovorit' tebi i prijateljima tvojim ujedno.
Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Po nebu se obazri i promatraj! Gledaj oblake: od tebe su viši!
Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
6 Ako griješiš, što si mu uradio, prijestupom svojim što si mu zadao?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
7 Ako si prav, što si dodao njemu i što iz ruke tvoje on dobiva?
If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
8 Opakost tvoja tebi slične pogađa i pravda tvoja čovjeku koristi.
Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
9 Ali kad ispod teškog stenju jarma, kad vapiju na nasilje moćnika,
They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
10 nitko ne kaže: 'Gdje je Bog, moj tvorac, koji noć pjesmom veselom ispunja,
But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
11 umnijim nas od zvijeri zemskih čini i mudrijima od ptica nebeskih?'
Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
12 Tad vapiju, al' on ne odgovara poradi oholosti zlikovaca.
Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
13 Ali kako je isprazno tvrditi da Bog njihove ne čuje vapaje, da pogled na njih ne svraća Svesilni!
Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
14 A kamoli tek kada ti govoriš: 'On ne vidi mene, parnica moja pred njime stoji, a ja na nj još čekam.'
Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
15 Ili: 'Njegova srdžba ne kažnjava, nimalo on za prijestupe ne mari.'
But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
16 Isprazno tada otvara Job usta i besjede gomila nerazumne.”
Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
