Jov 14

1 Èovjek roðen od žene kratka je vijeka i pun nemira.

"Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

2 Kao cvijet nièe, i otsijeca se, i bježi kao sjen, i ne ostaje.

He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue.

3 I na takoga otvoraš oko svoje, i mene vodiš na sud sa sobom!

Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

4 Ko æe èisto izvaditi iz neèista? Niko.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

5 Izmjereni su dani njegovi, broj mjeseca njegovijeh u tebe je; postavio si mu meðu, preko koje ne može prijeæi.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass;

6 Odvrati se od njega da poèine dokle ne navrši kao nadnièar dan svoj.

Look away from him, that he may rest, until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

7 Jer za drvo ima nadanja, ako se posijeèe, da æe se još omladiti i da neæe biti bez izdanaka;

"For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

8 Ako i ostari u zemlji korijen njegov i u prahu izumre panj njegov,

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

9 Èim osjeti vodu, opet napupi i pusti grane kao prisad.

yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.

10 A èovjek umire iznemogao; i kad izdahne èovjek, gdje je?

But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

11 Kao kad voda oteèe iz jezera i rijeka opadne i usahne,

As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,

12 Tako èovjek kad legne, ne ustaje više; dokle je nebesa neæe se probuditi niti æe se prenuti oda sna svojega.

so man lies down and doesn't rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

13 O da me hoæeš u grobu sakriti i skloniti me dokle ne utoli gnjev tvoj, i da mi daš rok kad æeš me se opomenuti! (Sheol h7585)

"Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me. (Sheol h7585)

14 Kad umre èovjek, hoæe li oživjeti? Sve dane vremena koje mi je odreðeno èekaæu dokle mi doðe promjena.

If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come.

15 Zazvaæeš, i ja æu ti se odazvati; djelo ruku svojih poželjeæeš.

You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands.

16 A sada brojiš korake moje, i ništa ne ostavljaš za grijeh moj.

But now you number my steps. Do you not watch over my sin?

17 Zapeèaæeni su u tobocu moji prijestupi, i zavezuješ bezakonja moja.

My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.

18 Zaista, kao što gora padne i raspadne se, i kao što se stijena odvali s mjesta svojega,

"But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place;

19 I kao što voda spira kamenje i povodanj odnosi prah zemaljski, tako nadanje èovjeèije obraæaš u ništa.

The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.

20 Nadvlaðuješ ga jednako, te odlazi, mijenjaš mu lice i otpuštaš ga.

You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.

21 Ako sinovi njegovi budu u èasti, on ne zna; ako li u sramoti, on se ne brine.

His sons come to honor, and he doesn't know it. They are brought low, but he doesn't perceive it of them.

22 Samo tijelo njegovo dok je živ boluje, i duša njegova u njemu tuži.

But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns."
