Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu continued, saying,
Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
2 “Do you think this is just when you say, 'My right before God'?
Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?
3 For you ask, 'What use is it to me?' and, 'Would I be better off if I had sinned?'
Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?
4 I will answer you, both you and your friends.
Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.
5 Look up at the sky, and see it; see the sky, which is higher than you.
Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.
6 If you have sinned, what harm do you do to God? If your transgressions pile up high, what do you do to him?
Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?
7 If you are righteous, what can you give to him? What will he receive from your hand?
Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man, as you are a man, and your righteousness might benefit another son of man.
Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.
9 Because of many acts of oppression, people cry out; they call for help from the arms of mighty men.
Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;
10 But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;
11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth, and who makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.
12 There they cry out, but God gives no answer because of the pride of evil men.
Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.
13 God will certainly not hear a foolish cry; the Almighty will pay no attention to it.
Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.
14 How much less will he answer you if you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him, and that you are waiting for him!
Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.
15 Now you say that his anger does not punish, and he does not take even a litte notice of transgression.
A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;
16 So Job opens his mouth only to speak foolishness; he piles up words without knowledge.”
Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
