Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
2 “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?
3 that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.
5 Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.
6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, 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 do you give him? Or what does 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, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.
9 “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
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 the animals of the earth, and 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, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.
Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.
14 How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;
16 therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
