Job 35
1 And Elihu went on to say:
Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
2 “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’
Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?
3 For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’
Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?
4 I will reply to you and to your friends as well.
Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.
5 Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.
Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.
6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?
Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?
Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?
8 Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.
Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.
9 Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.
Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,
A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’
Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.
12 There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.
13 Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.
Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.
14 How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,
Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.
15 and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly!
A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;
16 So Job opens his mouth in vain and multiplies words without knowledge.”
Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
