Job 37
1 Yea, at this, my heart quaketh, and starteth up out of its place.
Da, od toga i moje srce drhti i s mjesta svoga iskočiti hoće.
2 Hear! oh hear! the raging of his voice, A growling sound also, out of his mouth, goeth forth;
Čujte, čujte gromor glasa njegova, tutnjavu što mu iz usta izlazi.
3 Under the whole heavens, he letteth it loose, His lightning also, unto the wings of the earth;
Gle, munja lijeće preko cijelog neba - i sijevne blijesak s kraja na kraj zemlje -
4 After it, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, when his voice is heard.
iza nje silan jedan glas se ori: to On gromori glasom veličajnim. Munje mu lete, nitko ih ne priječi, tek što mu je glas jednom odjeknuo.
5 GOD thundereth with his voice, wonderfully, Doing great things, which we cannot know;
Da, Bog gromori glasom veličajnim, djela velebna, neshvatljiva stvara.
6 For, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, —Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.
Kad snijegu kaže: 'Zasniježi po zemlji!' i pljuskovima: 'Zapljuštite silno!'
7 On the hand of every man, he setteth a seal, that all men may take note of his doing.
svakom čovjeku zapečati ruke da svi njegovo upoznaju djelo.
8 So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.
U brlog se tad zvijeri sve uvuku i na svojem se šćućure ležaju.
9 Out of a chamber cometh a storm-wind, and, out of the north, cold.
S južne se strane podiže oluja, a studen vjetri sjeverni donose.
10 By the breath of GOD, is given—frost, and, the breadth of waters, is congealed;
Već led od daha Božjega nastaje i vodena se kruti površina.
11 Also, with moisture, burdeneth he the thick cloud, He disperseth his lightning-cloud;
I opet vodom puni on oblake, i sijevat' stanu oblaci munjama;
12 Yea, the same, in circles, turneth itself to and fro, by his steering them to their work, whithersoever he commandeth them, over the face of the world, towards the earth.
kruže posvuda po volji njegovoj, što im naloži, to će izvršiti na licu cijelog kruga zemaljskoga.
13 Whether, as a rod, or for his earth, or in lovingkindness, he causeth it to come.
Šalje ih - ili da kazni narode, ili da ih milosrđem obdari.
14 Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders of GOD: —
Poslušaj ovo, Jobe, umiri se i promotri djela Božja čudesna.
15 Canst thou got to know of GOD’S giving charge over them, or of the causing of the lightning of his cloud to shine forth?
Znaš li kako Bog njima zapovijeda, kako munju iz oblaka svog pušta?
16 Canst thou get to know concerning the poisings of the thick cloud, the wonders of one who is perfect in knowledge?
Znaš li o čem vise gore oblaci? Čudesna to su znanja savršenog.
17 That thy garments should be hot when he quieteth the earth from the south?
Kako ti gore od žege haljine u južnom vjetru kad zemlja obamre?
18 Didst thou spread out, with him, the skies, strong as a molten mirror?
Zar si nebesa s njim ti razapeo, čvrsta poput ogledala livenog?
19 Let us know what we shall say to him, We cannot set in order, by reason of darkness.
DÓe naputi me što da mu kažemo: zbog tmine se ne snalazimo više.
20 Shall it be declared to him—that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?
Zar ćeš mu reći: 'Hoću govoriti'? Ili na propast vlastitu pristati?
21 Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.
Tko, dakle, može u svjetlost gledati na nebesima što se sja blistavo kada oblake rastjeraju vjetri?
22 Out of the north, a golden light cometh, Upon GOD, is fearful splendour:
Sa sjevera k'o zlato je bljesnulo: veličanstvom strašnim Bog se odjenu!
23 The Almighty, whom we have not fully found out, is great in vigour, —Neither, justice nor abounding righteousness, will he weaken.
Da, Svesilnog doseći ne možemo, neizmjeran je u moći i sudu, velik u pravdi, nikog on ne tlači.
24 Therefore, do men revere him, He will not regard any who are wise in heart.
Zato ljudi svi neka ga se boje! Na mudrost oholu on i ne gleda!”
