Job 35

1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:

Još govori Elijuj i reèe:

2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',

Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?

3 That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'

Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?

4 I will give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.

Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.

5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.

6 If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?

Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?

7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?

Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?

8 Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a son of man.

Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.

9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;

10 But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night;

A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;

11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?'

Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.

12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.

13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.

14 Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him — the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him.

Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.

15 And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?

A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;

16 But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
