Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Elihu nastavi svoju besjedu i reče:
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
“Zar ti misliš da pravo svoje braniš, da pravednost pred Bogom dokazuješ,
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
kada mu kažeš: 'Što ti je to važno, i ako griješim, što ti činim time?'
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
Na sve to ja ću odgovorit' tebi i prijateljima tvojim ujedno.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Po nebu se obazri i promatraj! Gledaj oblake: od tebe su viši!
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Ako griješiš, što si mu uradio, prijestupom svojim što si mu zadao?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Ako si prav, što si dodao njemu i što iz ruke tvoje on dobiva?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Opakost tvoja tebi slične pogađa i pravda tvoja čovjeku koristi.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
Ali kad ispod teškog stenju jarma, kad vapiju na nasilje moćnika,
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
nitko ne kaže: 'Gdje je Bog, moj tvorac, koji noć pjesmom veselom ispunja,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
umnijim nas od zvijeri zemskih čini i mudrijima od ptica nebeskih?'
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Tad vapiju, al' on ne odgovara poradi oholosti zlikovaca.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Ali kako je isprazno tvrditi da Bog njihove ne čuje vapaje, da pogled na njih ne svraća Svesilni!
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
A kamoli tek kada ti govoriš: 'On ne vidi mene, parnica moja pred njime stoji, a ja na nj još čekam.'
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
Ili: 'Njegova srdžba ne kažnjava, nimalo on za prijestupe ne mari.'
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Isprazno tada otvara Job usta i besjede gomila nerazumne.”
