Jov 35
1 Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
2 Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than El's?
3 Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4 Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6 Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;
But none saith, Where is Eloah my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.
Surely El will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
