Job 36
1 Elihu also continued, and said,
Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
Potrpi me malo, i pokazaæu ti, jer još ima što bih govorio za Boga.
3 I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Poèeæu izdaleka besjedu svoju, i pokazaæu da je tvorac moj pravedan.
4 For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
Doista, neæe biti lažne rijeèi moje, kod tebe je koji pravo misli.
5 “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Gle, Bog je silan, ali nikoga ne odbacuje, silan je snagom srèanom.
6 He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
Ne da živjeti bezbožniku, a nevoljnicima èini pravdu.
7 He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
Ne odvraæa od pravednika oèiju svojih, nego još s carevima na prijesto posaðuje ih navijek, te se uzvišuju.
8 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
Ako li su okovani u puta i svezani užima nevoljnièkim,
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
Tada im napominje djela njihova i bezakonja njihova kako su silna.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
I otvora im uho da bi se popravili, i govori im da se vrate od bezakonja.
11 If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Ako poslušaju i stanu mu služiti, dovršuju dane svoje u dobru i godine svoje u radosti.
12 But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
Ako li ne poslušaju, ginu od maèa i umiru s bezumlja.
13 “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
A koji su licemjerna srca, navlaèe gnjev i ne vièu kad ih poveže;
14 They die in youth. Their life perishes amongst the unclean.
Umire u mladosti duša njihova i život njihov meðu kurvama.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
Izbavlja nevoljnika iz nevolje njegove i otvora mu uho u muci.
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
Tako bi i tebe izveo iz tjeskobe na prostrano mjesto, gdje ništa ne dosaðuje, i mirni sto tvoj bio bi pun pretiline.
17 “But you are full of the judgement of the wicked. Judgement and justice take hold of you.
Ali si zaslužio sud bezbožnièki; i sud i pravda snaðe te.
18 Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
Doista, gnjev je na tebi; gledaj da te ne odbaci u karanju, te te veliki otkup neæe izbaviti.
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
Hoæe li gledati na tvoje bogatstvo? neæe ni na zlato ni na kaku silu blaga tvojega.
20 Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Ne uzdiši za noæu u koju narodi odlaze na svoje mjesto.
21 Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
Èuvaj se da ne pogledaš na taštinu i voliš nju nego nevolju.
22 Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Gle, Bog je najviši svojom silom, ko je uèitelj kao on?
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
Ko mu je odredio put njegov? ili ko æe mu reæi: èiniš nepravo?
24 “Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
Opominji se da velièaš djela njegova, koja gledaju ljudi.
25 All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
Svi ljudi vide ih, svaki ih gleda izdaleka.
26 Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
Gle, Bog je velik, i ne možemo ga poznati, broj godina njegovijeh ne može se dokuèiti.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapour,
Jer on steže kaplje vodene, koje liju dažd iz oblaka njegovijeh;
28 which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
Kad teku oblaci, kaplju na mnoštvo ljudsko.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
I ko bi razumio prostor oblacima i grmljavu u šatoru njegovu?
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
Kako prostire nad njim svjetlost svoju, i dubine morske pokriva?
31 For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
Tijem sudi narodima, daje hrane izobila.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
Rukama zaklanja svjetlost, i nareðuje koga da srete,
33 Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
Javljajuæi prema njemu dobru volju svoju, i prema stoci i prema rodu zemaljskom.
