Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Elihú je poleg tega spregovoril in rekel:
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
»Mar misliš, da je to pravilno, da govoriš: ›Moja pravičnost je večja kakor Božja?‹
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
Kajti praviš: ›Kakšna prednost ti bo to?‹ in ›Kakšno korist bom imel, če bom očiščen pred svojim grehom?‹
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
Odgovoril ti bom in tvojim družabnikom s teboj.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Poglej v nebo in glej. Ogleduj oblake, ki so višje kakor ti.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Če grešiš, kaj delaš zoper njega? Ali če so tvoji prestopki pomnoženi, kaj mu delaš?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Če si pravičen, kaj mu daješ? Ali kaj on prejema iz tvoje roke?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Tvoja zlobnost lahko prizadene človeka, kakor si ti in tvoja pravičnost lahko koristi človeškemu sinu.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
Zaradi množice zatiranj povzročajo zatiranim, da kričijo. Vpijejo zaradi lakta mogočnega.
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
Toda nihče ne pravi: ›Kje je Bog, moj stvarnik, ki daje pesmi ponoči,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
ki nas uči več kakor zemeljske živali in nas dela modrejše kakor perjad neba?‹
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Tam vpijejo, toda nihče ne daje odgovora zaradi ponosa zlobnežev.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Bog zagotovo ne bo slišal prazne reči niti se Vsemogočni na to ne bo oziral.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Čeprav praviš, da ga ne boš videl, je vendar sodba pred njim, zato zaupaj vanj.
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
Toda sedaj, ker to ni tako, je obiskal v svoji jezi, vendar on tega v veliki skrajnosti ne pozna.
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Job zato svoja usta zaman odpira. Besede množi brez spoznanja.«
