Jov 36
1 Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
Elihu also proceeded, and said:
2 Potrpi me malo, i pokazaæu ti, jer još ima što bih govorio za Boga.
Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.
3 Poèeæu izdaleka besjedu svoju, i pokazaæu da je tvorac moj pravedan.
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 Doista, neæe biti lažne rijeèi moje, kod tebe je koji pravo misli.
For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.
5 Gle, Bog je silan, ali nikoga ne odbacuje, silan je snagom srèanom.
Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 Ne da živjeti bezbožniku, a nevoljnicima èini pravdu.
He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.
7 Ne odvraæa od pravednika oèiju svojih, nego još s carevima na prijesto posaðuje ih navijek, te se uzvišuju.
He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
8 Ako li su okovani u puta i svezani užima nevoljnièkim,
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9 Tada im napominje djela njihova i bezakonja njihova kako su silna.
Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10 I otvora im uho da bi se popravili, i govori im da se vrate od bezakonja.
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11 Ako poslušaju i stanu mu služiti, dovršuju dane svoje u dobru i godine svoje u radosti.
If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 Ako li ne poslušaju, ginu od maèa i umiru s bezumlja.
But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13 A koji su licemjerna srca, navlaèe gnjev i ne vièu kad ih poveže;
But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.
14 Umire u mladosti duša njihova i život njihov meðu kurvama.
Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.
15 Izbavlja nevoljnika iz nevolje njegove i otvora mu uho u muci.
He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.
16 Tako bi i tebe izveo iz tjeskobe na prostrano mjesto, gdje ništa ne dosaðuje, i mirni sto tvoj bio bi pun pretiline.
Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;
17 Ali si zaslužio sud bezbožnièki; i sud i pravda snaðe te.
And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.
18 Doista, gnjev je na tebi; gledaj da te ne odbaci u karanju, te te veliki otkup neæe izbaviti.
For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
19 Hoæe li gledati na tvoje bogatstvo? neæe ni na zlato ni na kaku silu blaga tvojega.
Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?
20 Ne uzdiši za noæu u koju narodi odlaze na svoje mjesto.
Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
21 Èuvaj se da ne pogledaš na taštinu i voliš nju nego nevolju.
Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22 Gle, Bog je najviši svojom silom, ko je uèitelj kao on?
Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?
23 Ko mu je odredio put njegov? ili ko æe mu reæi: èiniš nepravo?
Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?
24 Opominji se da velièaš djela njegova, koja gledaju ljudi.
Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.
25 Svi ljudi vide ih, svaki ih gleda izdaleka.
All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.
26 Gle, Bog je velik, i ne možemo ga poznati, broj godina njegovijeh ne može se dokuèiti.
Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
27 Jer on steže kaplje vodene, koje liju dažd iz oblaka njegovijeh;
For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;
28 Kad teku oblaci, kaplju na mnoštvo ljudsko.
Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.
29 I ko bi razumio prostor oblacima i grmljavu u šatoru njegovu?
Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?
30 Kako prostire nad njim svjetlost svoju, i dubine morske pokriva?
Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.
31 Tijem sudi narodima, daje hrane izobila.
For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
32 Rukama zaklanja svjetlost, i nareðuje koga da srete,
He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
33 Javljajuæi prema njemu dobru volju svoju, i prema stoci i prema rodu zemaljskom.
The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
