Job 35

1 And Elius resumed and said,

Još govori Elijuj i reèe:

2 What is this that you think to be according to right? who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?

Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?

3 I will answer you, and your three friends.

Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?

4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above you.

Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.

5 If you have sinned, what will you do?

Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.

6 and if too you have transgressed much, what can you perform?

Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?

7 And suppose you are righteous, what will you give him? or what shall he receive of your hand?

Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?

8 Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you; or your righteousness a son of man.

Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.

9 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.

Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;

10 But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;

A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;

11 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?

Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.

12 There they shall cry, and none shall listen, even because of the insolence of wicked men.

Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.

13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.

Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.

14 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.

Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.

15 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.

A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;

16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.

Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
