Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;
10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
