Job 17
1 "My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.
Moj dih je pokvarjen, moji dnevi so izumrli, zame so pripravljeni grobovi.
2 Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.
Mar niso tukaj z menoj zasmehovalci? Mar moje oko ne vztraja v njihovem izzivanju?
3 "Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
Sedaj se ulezi, postavi me v poroštvo s seboj. Kdo je ta, ki bo udaril roki z menoj?
4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.
Kajti njihovo srce si skril pred razumevanjem, zato jih ne boš povišal.
5 He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
Kdor svojim prijateljem govori prilizovanja, bodo pešale celo oči njegovih otrok.
6 "But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
Naredil me je tudi za tarčo posmeha med ljudstvom in poprej sem bil kakor bobnič.
7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
Tudi moje oko je zatemnjeno zaradi bridkosti in vsi moji udi so kakor senca.
8 Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
Pošteni možje bodo osupli ob tem in nedolžni se bo razvnel zoper hinavca.
9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
Tudi pravični se bo držal svoje poti, kdor pa ima čiste roke, bo močnejši in močnejši.
10 But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.
Toda kar se tiče vas vseh, ali se vrnete in torej greste, kajti med vami ne morem najti enega modrega moža.
11 My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
Moji dnevi so minili, moji nameni so zlomljeni, celó misli mojega srca.
12 They change the night into day, saying 'The light is near' in the presence of darkness.
Noč spreminjajo v dan, svetloba je kratka zaradi teme.
Če čakam, je moja hiša grob; svojo posteljo sem postlal v temi. (Sheol h7585)
14 If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'
Trohnenju sem rekel: ›Ti si moj oče, ‹ ličinki: › Ti si moja mati in moja sestra.‹
15 where then is my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it?
Kje je sedaj moje upanje? Glede mojega upanja, kdo ga bo videl?
