Jov 40
1 I tako odgovarajuæi Gospod Jovu reèe:
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
2 Ko se prepire s Bogom, hoæe li ga uèiti? koji kudi Boga, neka odgovori na to.
Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
3 Tada Jov odgovori Gospodu i reèe:
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 Gle, ja sam malen, šta bih ti odgovorio? Meæem ruku svoju na usta svoja.
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Jednom govorih, ali neæu odgovarati; i drugom, ali neæu više.
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 A Gospod opet odgovarajuæi Jovu iz vihora reèe:
Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Opaši se sada kao èovjek; ja æu te pitati, a ti mi kazuj.
Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.
8 Hoæeš li ti uništiti moj sud? hoæeš li mene osuditi da bi sebe opravdao?
Will you also nullify my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
9 Je li u tebe mišica kao u Boga? grmiš li glasom kao on?
Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Okiti se sada èašæu i velièanstvom, u slavu i krasotu obuci se.
Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
11 Prospi jarost gnjeva svojega, i pogledaj sve ponosite, i obori ih.
Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and bring low him.
12 Pogledaj sve ponosite, i ponizi ih, i potri bezbožnike na mjestu njihovu.
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Zatrpaj ih sve u prah, i poveži im lice na skrivenu mjestu.
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Tada æu te i ja hvaliti da te èuva desnica tvoja.
Then will I also confess unto you that your own right hand can save you.
15 A gle, slon, kojega sam stvorio s tobom, jede travu kao vo;
Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.
16 Gle, snaga mu je u bedrima njegovijem, i sila mu je u pupku trbuha njegova;
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 Diže rep svoj kao kedar, žile od jaja njegovijeh spletene su kao grane;
He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 Kosti su mu kao cijevi mjedene, zglavci kao poluge gvozdene.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 On je prvo izmeðu djela Božijih, tvorac njegov dao mu je maè.
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Gore nose mu piæu, i sve zvijerje poljsko igra se ondje.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 U hladu liježe, u gustoj trsci i glibu.
He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 Granata drveta zaklanjaju ga sjenom svojim, i opkoljavaju ga vrbe na potocima.
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Gle, ustavlja rijeku da ne teèe, uzda se da æe ispiti Jordan gubicom svojom.
Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastes not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 Hoæe li ga ko uhvatiti na oèi njegove? zamku mu provuæi kroz nos?
He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
