Job 8
1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,
Bildan iz Šuaha progovori tad i reče:
2 How long will you speak these things, [how long shall] the breath of your mouth [be] abundant in words?
“Dokad ćeš jošte govoriti tako, dokle će ti riječ kao vihor biti?
3 Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice?
TÓa zar može Bog pravo pogaziti, može li pravdu izvrnut' Svesilni?
4 If your sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.
Ako mu djeca tvoja sagriješiše, preda ih zato bezakonju njinu.
5 But be you early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.
Al' ako Boga potražiš iskreno i od Svesilnog milost ti izmoliš;
6 If you are pure and true, he will listen to your supplication, and will restore to you the habitation of righteousness.
ako li budeš čist i neporočan, odsad će svagda on nad tobom bdjeti i obnovit će kuću pravedniku.
7 Though then your beginning should be small, yet your end should be unspeakably great.
Bit će malena tvoja sreća prošla prema budućoj što te očekuje.
8 For ask of the former generation, and search diligently amongst the race of [our] fathers:
No pitaj samo prošle naraštaje, na mudrost pređa njihovih pripazi.
9 (for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow: )
Od jučer mi smo i ništa ne znamo, poput sjene su na zemlji nam dani.
10 shall not these teach you, and report [to you], and bring out words from [their] heart?
Oni će te poučit' i reći ti, iz srca će svog izvući besjede:
11 Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture?
'Izvan močvare zar će rogoz nići? Zar će bez vode trstika narasti?
12 When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?
Zeleni se sva, al' i nekošena usahne prije svake druge trave.
13 Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
To je kob svakog tko Boga zaboravi; tako propada nada bezbožnika:
14 For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web.
Nit je tanana njegovo uzdanje, a ufanje mu kuća paukova.
15 If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.
Nasloni li se, ona mu se ljulja, prihvati li se, ona mu se ruši.
16 For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap.
Zeleni se i sav na suncu buja, vrt su mu cio mladice prerasle.
17 He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints.
Svojim korijenjem krš je isprepleo te život crpe iz živa kamena.
18 If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Hast you not seen such things,
A kad ga s mjesta njegova istrgnu, ono ga niječe: 'Nikada te ne vidjeh!'
19 that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow.
I evo gdje na putu sada trune dok drugo bilje već niče iz zemlje.
20 For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.
Ne, Bog neće odbacit' neporočne, niti će rukom poduprijet' opake.
21 But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving.
Smijeh će ti opet ispuniti usta, s usana će odjeknuti klicanje.
22 But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.
Dušmane će ti odjenut' sramota i šatora će nestat' zlikovačkog.'”
