Job 10
1 “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Kad mi je duši život omrznuo, nek' mi tužaljka poteče slobodno, zborit ću u gorčini duše svoje.
2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
Reću ću Bogu: Nemoj me osudit! Kaži mi zašto se na me obaraš.
3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
TÓa što od toga imaš da me tlačiš, da djelo ruku svojih zabacuješ, da pomažeš namjerama opakih?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
Jesu li u tebe oči tjelesne? Zar ti vidiš kao što čovjek vidi?
5 Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
Zar su ti dani k'o dani smrtnika a kao ljudski vijek tvoje godine?
6 that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
Zbog čega krivnju moju istražuješ i grijehe moje hoćeš razotkriti,
7 Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
kad znadeš dobro da sam nedužan, da ruci tvojoj izmaknut ne mogu?
8 “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
Tvoje me ruke sazdaše, stvoriše, zašto da me sada opet raščiniš!
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
Sjeti se, k'o glinu si me sazdao i u prah ćeš me ponovo vratiti.
10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Nisi li mene k'o mlijeko ulio i učinio da se k'o sir zgrušam?
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
Kožom si me i mesom odjenuo, kostima si me spleo i žilama.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
S milošću si mi život darovao, brižljivo si nad mojim bdio dahom.
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
Al' u svom srcu ovo si sakrio, znam da je tvoja to bila namjera:
14 if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
da paziš budno hoću li zgriješiti i da mi grijeh ne prođe nekažnjeno.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
Ako sam grešan, onda teško meni, ako li sam prav, glavu ne smijem dići - shrvan sramotom, nesrećom napojen!
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
Ispravim li se, k'o lav me nagoniš, snagu svoju okušavaš na meni,
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
optužbe nove na mene podižeš, jarošću većom na mene usplamtiš i sa svježim se četama obaraš.
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
Iz utrobe što si me izvukao? O, što ne umrijeh: vidjeli me ne bi,
19 I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
bio bih k'o da me ni bilo nije, iz utrobe u grob bi me stavili.
20 Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
Mog su života dani tako kratki! Pusti me da se još malo veselim
21 before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
prije nego ću na put bez povratka, u zemlju tame, zemlju sjene smrtne,
22 the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”
u zemlju tmine guste i meteža, gdje je svjetlost slična noći najcrnjoj.”
