Job 19
1 Job progovori i reče:
Then Job answered and said,
2 “TÓa dokle ćete mučit' dušu moju, dokle ćete me riječima satirat'?
How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 Već deseti put pogrdiste mene i stid vas nije što me zlostavljate.
These ten times have you reproached me: you are not ashamed that you make yourselves strange to me.
4 Pa ako sam zastranio doista, na meni moja zabluda ostaje.
And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5 Mislite li da ste me nadjačali i krivnju moju da ste dokazali?
If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6 Znajte: Bog je to mene pritisnuo i svojom me je on stegnuo mrežom.
Know now that God has overthrown me, and has compassed me with his net.
7 Vičem: 'Nasilje!' - nema odgovora; vapijem - ali za me pravde nema.
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8 Sa svih strana put mi je zagradio, sve staze moje u tminu zavio.
He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.
9 Slavu je moju sa mene skinuo, sa moje glave strgnuo je krunu.
He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 Podsijeca me odasvud te nestajem; k'o drvo, nadu mi je iščupao.
He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope has he removed like a tree.
11 Raspalio se gnjev njegov na mene i svojim me drži neprijateljem.
He has also kindled his wrath against me, and he counts me to him as one of his enemies.
12 U bojnom redu pristižu mu čete, putove proti meni nasipaju, odasvud moj opkoljavaju šator.
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13 Od mene su se udaljila braća, otuđili se moji poznanici.
He has put my brothers far from me, and my acquaintance are truly estranged from me.
14 Nestade bližnjih mojih i znanaca, gosti doma mog zaboraviše me.
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 Sluškinjama sam svojim kao stranac, neznanac sam u njihovim očima.
They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16 Slugu zovnem, a on ne odgovara i za milost ga moram zaklinjati.
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
17 Mojoj je ženi dah moj omrznuo, gadim se djeci vlastite utrobe.
My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children’s sake of my own body.
18 I deranima na prezir tek služim, ako se dignem, rugaju se meni.
Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
19 Pouzdanicima sam svojim mrzak, protiv mene su oni koje ljubljah.
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 Kosti mi se za kožu prilijepiše, osta mi jedva koža oko zuba.
My bone sticks to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Smilujte mi se, prijatelji moji, jer Božja me je ruka udarila.
Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Zašto da me k'o Bog sam progonite, zar se niste moga nasitili mesa?
Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 O, kad bi se riječi moje zapisale i kad bi se u mjed tvrdu urezale;
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 kad bi se željeznim dlijetom i olovom u spomen vječan u stijenu uklesale!
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 Ja znadem dobro: moj Izbavitelj živi i posljednji će on nad zemljom ustati.
For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day on the earth:
26 A kad se probudim, k sebi će me dići: iz svoje ću puti tad vidjeti Boga.
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Njega ja ću kao svojega gledati, i očima mojim neće biti stranac: za njime srce mi čezne u grudima.
Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 Kad kažete: 'Kako ćemo ga goniti? Koji ćemo razlog protiv njega naći?',
But you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 mača tad se bojte: grijehu mač je kazna. Saznat ćete tada da imade suda!”
Be you afraid of the sword: for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.
