Job 11
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
A Sofar Namaæanin odgovori i reèe:
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
Zar na mnoge rijeèi nema odgovora? ili æe èovjek govorljiv ostati prav?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
Hoæe li tvoje laži umuèkati ljude? i kad se ti rugaš, zar te neæe niko posramiti?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
Jer si rekao: èista je nauka moja, i èist sam pred oèima tvojim.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
Ali kad bi Bog progovorio i usne svoje otvorio na te,
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
I pokazao ti tajne mudrosti, jer ih je dvojinom više, poznao bi da te Bog kara manje nego što zaslužuje tvoje bezakonje.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
Možeš li ti tajne Božije dokuèiti, ili dokuèiti savršenstvo svemoguæega?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)
To su visine nebeske, šta æeš uèiniti? dublje je od pakla, kako æeš poznati? (Sheol h7585)
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
Duže od zemlje, šire od mora.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
Da prevrati, ili zatvori ili sabere, ko æe mu braniti?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
Jer zna ništavilo ljudsko, i videæi nevaljalstvo zar neæe paziti?
12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild donkey’s colt.
Èovjek bezuman postaje razuman, premda se èovjek raða kao divlje magare.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
Da ti upraviš srce svoje i podigneš ruke svoje k njemu,
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
Ako je bezakonje u ruci tvojoj, da ga ukloniš, i ne daš da nepravda bude u šatorima tvojim,
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
Tada æeš podignuti lice svoje bez mane i stajaæeš tvrdo i neæeš se bojati;
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
Zaboraviæeš muku, kao vode koja proteèe opominjaæeš je se;
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
Nastaæe ti vrijeme vedrije nego podne, sinuæeš, biæeš kao jutro;
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
Uzdaæeš se imajuæi nadanje, zakopaæeš se, i mirno æeš spavati.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
Ležaæeš, i niko te neæe plašiti, i mnogi æe ti se moliti.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Ali oèi æe bezbožnicima išèiljeti, i utoèišta im neæe biti, i nadanje æe im biti izdisanje.
