Job 40
1 Poleg tega je Gospod odgovoril Jobu in rekel:
And the Lord God answered Job, and said,
2 »Mar ga bo tisti, ki se prička z Vsemogočnim, poučeval? Kdor graja Boga, naj mu to odgovori.«
Will [any one] pervert judgement with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.
3 Potem je Job odgovoril Gospodu in rekel:
And Job answered and said to the Lord,
4 »Glej, nepomemben sem, kaj naj ti odgovorim? Svojo roko bom položil na svoja usta.
Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Enkrat sem govoril, toda ne bom odgovoril. Da, dvakrat, vendar ne bom nadaljeval.«
I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.
6 Potem je Gospod iz vrtinčastega vetra odgovoril Jobu in rekel:
And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying],
7 »Opaši sedaj svoja ledja kakor mož. Zahteval bom od tebe in ti mi razglasi.
Nay, gird up now your loins like a man; and I will ask you, and do you answer me.
8 Hočeš tudi mojo sodbo razveljaviti? Me hočeš obsoditi, da bi bil ti lahko pravičen?
Do not set aside my judgement: and do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way, than that you might appear to be righteous?
9 Ali imaš laket kakor Bog? Ali lahko zagrmiš z glasom kakor on?
Hast you an arm like the Lord's? or do you thunder with a voice like his?
10 Odeni se sedaj z veličanstvom in odličnostjo in odeni se s slavo in lepoto.
Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe yourself with glory and honour.
11 Izlij bes svoje jeze. Glej vsakogar, ki je ponosen in ga ponižaj.
And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one.
12 Poglej na vsakogar, ki je ponosen in ga ponižaj in zlobne pomendraj na njihovem kraju.
Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.
13 Skupaj jih skrij v prah in njihove obraze obveži na skrivnem.
And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.
14 Potem ti bom tudi jaz priznal, da te tvoja lastna desnica lahko reši.
[Then] will I confess that your right hand can save [you].
15 Glej torej behemota, ki sem ga naredil s teboj; muli travo kakor vol.
But now look at the wild beasts with you; they eat grass like oxen.
16 Glej torej, njegova moč je v njegovih ledjih in njegova sila je v kiti njegovega trebuha.
Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 Svoj rep premika kakor cedra. Kite njegovih kamnov so ovite skupaj.
He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.
18 Njegove kosti so kakor trdi koščki iz brona, njegove kosti so podobne železnim zapahom.
His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron.
19 Ta je vodja Božjih poti. Kdor ga je naredil lahko stori, da se mu približa njegov meč.
This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.
20 Zagotovo mu gore prinašajo hrano, kjer se igrajo vse poljske živali.
And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.
21 Leži pod senčnimi drevesi, v skrivališču trstja in močvirij.
He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.
22 Senčna drevesa ga pokrivajo s svojo senco, naokoli ga obdajajo potočne vrbe.
And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field.
23 Glej, pije reko in ne hiti; zaupa, da lahko Jordan posrka v svoja usta.
If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.
24 Ujame ga s svojimi očmi. Njegov nos prebada skozi zanke.
[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose.
