Job 13
1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it.
Eto, sve je to vidjelo oko moje, èulo uho moje, i razumjelo.
2 What ye know, I know also: I am not inferior to you.
Što vi znate, znam i ja, nijesam gori od vas.
3 But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with God;
Ipak bih govorio sa svemoguæim, i rad sam s Bogom pravdati se.
4 For ye indeed are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
Jer vi izmišljate laži, svi ste zaludni ljekari.
5 Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.
O da biste sasvijem muèali! bili biste mudri.
6 Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Èujte moj odgovor, i slušajte razloge usta mojih.
7 Will ye speak unrighteously for God? and for him speak deceit?
Treba li da govorite za Boga nepravdu ili prijevaru da govorite za nj?
8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
Treba li da mu gledate ko je? treba li da se prepirete za Boga?
9 Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one mocketh at a man, will ye mock at him?
Hoæe li biti dobro kad vas stane ispitivati? hoæete li ga prevariti kao što se vara èovjek?
10 He will certainly reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
Zaista æe vas karati, ako tajno uzgledate ko je.
11 Shall not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?
Velièanstvo njegovo neæe li vas uplašiti? i strah njegov neæe li vas popasti?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire.
Spomeni su vaši kao pepeo, i vaše visine kao gomile blata.
13 Hold your peace from me, and I will speak, and let come on me what [will]!
Muèite i pustite me da ja govorim, pa neka me snaðe šta mu drago.
14 Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
Zašto bih kidao meso svoje svojim zubima i dušu svoju metao u svoje ruke?
15 Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.
Gle, da me i ubije, opet æu se uzdati u nj, ali æu braniti putove svoje pred njim.
16 This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before his face.
I on æe mi biti spasenje, jer licemjer neæe izaæi preda nj.
17 Hear attentively my speech and my declaration with your ears.
Slušajte dobro besjedu moju, i neka vam uðe u uši što æu iskazati.
18 Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Evo, spremio sam parbu svoju, znam da æu biti prav.
19 Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.
Ko æe se preti sa mnom? da sad umuknem, izdahnuo bih.
20 Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from thee.
Samo dvoje nemoj mi uèiniti, pa se neæu kriti od lica tvojega.
21 Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid:
Ukloni ruku svoju od mene, i strah tvoj da me ne straši.
22 Then call, and I will answer; or I will speak, and answer thou me.
Potom zovi me, i ja æu odgovarati; ili ja da govorim, a ti mi odgovaraj.
23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Koliko je bezakonja i grijeha mojih? pokaži mi prijestup moj i grijeh moj.
24 Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, and countest me for thine enemy?
Zašto sakrivaš lice svoje i držiš me za neprijatelja svojega?
25 Wilt thou terrify a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue dry stubble?
Hoæeš li skršiti list koji nosi vjetar, ili æeš goniti suhu slamku,
26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth;
Kad mi pišeš grèine i daješ mi u našljedstvo grijehe mladosti moje,
27 And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feet; —
I meæeš noge moje u klade, i paziš na sve staze moje i ideš za mnom ustopce?
28 One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that the moth eateth.
A on se raspada kao trulina, kao haljina koju jede moljac.
