Job 35
1 Then Elihu also said this:
Ještě mluvil Elihu, a řekl:
2 “[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
Domníváš-liž se, že jsi to s soudem řekl: Spravedlnost má převyšuje Boží?
3 and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
Nebo jsi řekl: Co mi prospěje, jaký užitek budu míti, bych i nehřešil?
4 [Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
Já odpovím tobě místně, i tovaryšům tvým s tebou.
5 “[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
Pohleď na nebe a viz, anobrž spatř oblaky, vyšší, než-lis ty.
6 If you have sinned, that does not [RHQ] harm God at all. If many times you do things that are wrong, that certainly does not [RHQ] affect him [DOU].
Jestliže bys hřešil, co svedeš proti němu? A byť se i rozmnožily nešlechetnosti tvé, co mu uškodíš?
7 And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
Budeš-li spravedlivý, čeho mu udělíš? Aneb co z ruky tvé vezme?
8 It is other people who suffer because of the wicked things that you do, but by doing good things for people, you help them.
Každémuť člověku bezbožnost jeho uškodí, a synu člověka spravedlnost jeho prospěje.
9 “People cry out because of the many things that people do to others to (oppress them/treat them cruelly); they call for help because of the things that powerful people do [MTY] to them.
Z množství nátisk trpících, kteréž k tomu přivodí, aby úpěli a křičeli pro ukrutnost povýšených,
10 But (no one/none of them) calls out [to God], saying ‘Why does God, my creator, [not help me]? He [should] enable me to sing [joyful] songs, [instead of very sad songs, ] during the night.
Žádný neříká: Kde jest Bůh stvořitel můj? Ješto on dává zpěv i v noci.
11 He [should be able to] teach us more than all the wild animals do; he [should] enable us to become wiser than [all] the birds are!’
On vyučuje nás nad hovada zemská, a nad ptactvo nebeské moudřejší nás činí.
12 People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
Tehdáž volají-li pro pýchu zlých, nebývají vyslyšáni.
13 It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
A jistě žeť ošemetnosti nevyslýchá Bůh silný, a Všemohoucí nepatří na ni.
14 So, when you complain that you cannot see God, and you tell him that you are waiting for him [to decide whether or not you should be punished for what you have done], God will not listen to you, either!
Mnohem méně, jestliže díš: Nepatříš na to. Sám s sebou vejdi v soud před ním, a doufej v něho.
15 Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
Ale nyní poněvadž nic není těch věcí, navštívil jej hněv jeho; nebo nechce znáti hojnosti této veliké.
16 You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
A protož marně Job otvírá ústa svá, hloupě rozmnožuje řeči své.
