Job 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
Elihú je poleg tega spregovoril in rekel:
2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?
»Mar misliš, da je to pravilno, da govoriš: ›Moja pravičnost je večja kakor Božja?‹
3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?
Kajti praviš: ›Kakšna prednost ti bo to?‹ in ›Kakšno korist bom imel, če bom očiščen pred svojim grehom?‹
4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
Odgovoril ti bom in tvojim družabnikom s teboj.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
Poglej v nebo in glej. Ogleduj oblake, ki so višje kakor ti.
6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
Če grešiš, kaj delaš zoper njega? Ali če so tvoji prestopki pomnoženi, kaj mu delaš?
7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Če si pravičen, kaj mu daješ? Ali kaj on prejema iz tvoje roke?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.
Tvoja zlobnost lahko prizadene človeka, kakor si ti in tvoja pravičnost lahko koristi človeškemu sinu.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
Zaradi množice zatiranj povzročajo zatiranim, da kričijo. Vpijejo zaradi lakta mogočnega.
10 And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
Toda nihče ne pravi: ›Kje je Bog, moj stvarnik, ki daje pesmi ponoči,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
ki nas uči več kakor zemeljske živali in nas dela modrejše kakor perjad neba?‹
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
Tam vpijejo, toda nihče ne daje odgovora zaradi ponosa zlobnežev.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
Bog zagotovo ne bo slišal prazne reči niti se Vsemogočni na to ne bo oziral.
14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.
Čeprav praviš, da ga ne boš videl, je vendar sodba pred njim, zato zaupaj vanj.
15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
Toda sedaj, ker to ni tako, je obiskal v svoji jezi, vendar on tega v veliki skrajnosti ne pozna.
16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job zato svoja usta zaman odpira. Besede množi brez spoznanja.«
