Jov 27
1 I Jov nastavi besjedu svoju i reèe:
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Tako da je živ Bog, koji je odbacio parbu moju, i svemoguæi, koji je ojadio dušu moju,
As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul;
3 Dok je duša moja u meni, i duh Božji u nozdrvama mojim,
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 Neæe usne moje govoriti bezakonja, niti æe jezik moj izricati prijevare.
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 Ne dao Bog da pristanem da imate pravo; dokle dišem, neæu otstupiti od svoje dobrote.
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 Držaæu se pravde svoje, niti æu je ostaviti; neæe me prekoriti srce moje dokle sam živ.
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Neprijatelj moj biæe kao bezbožnik, i koji ustaje na me, kao bezakonik.
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
8 Jer kako je nadanje licemjeru, kad se lakomi a Bog æe išèupati dušu njegovu?
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
9 Hoæe li Bog uslišiti viku njegovu kad na nj doðe nevolja?
Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?
10 Hoæe li se svemoguæemu radovati? hoæe li prizivati Boga u svako vrijeme?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11 Uèim vas ruci Božjoj, i kako je u svemoguæega ne tajim.
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Eto, vi svi vidite, zašto dakle jednako govorite zaludne stvari?
Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are all of you thus altogether vain?
13 To je dio èovjeku bezbožnom od Boga, i našljedstvo koje primaju nasilnici od svemoguæega.
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 Ako mu se množe sinovi, množe se za maè, i natražje njegovo neæe se nasititi hljeba.
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Koji ostanu iza njega, na smrti æe biti pogrebeni, i udovice njihove neæe plakati.
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16 Ako nakupi srebra kao praha, i nabavi haljina kao blata,
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17 Što nabavi, obuæi æe pravednik, i srebro æe dijeliti bezazleni.
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 Gradi sebi kuæu kao moljac, i kao kolibu koju naèini èuvar.
He builds his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper makes.
19 Bogat æe umrijeti a neæe biti pribran; otvoriæe oèi a nièega neæe biti.
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not.
20 Stignuæe ga strahote kao vode; noæu æe ga odnijeti oluja.
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.
21 Uzeæe ga vjetar istoèni, i otiæi æe; vihor æe ga odnijeti s mjesta njegova.
The east wind carries him away, and he departs: and as a storm hurls him out of his place.
22 To æe Bog pustiti na nj, i neæe ga žaliti; on æe jednako bježati od ruke njegove.
For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Drugi æe pljeskati rukama za njim, i zviždaæe za njim s mjesta njegova.
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
