Job 17
1 Moj dih je pokvarjen, moji dnevi so izumrli, zame so pripravljeni grobovi.
“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.
2 Mar niso tukaj z menoj zasmehovalci? Mar moje oko ne vztraja v njihovem izzivanju?
Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.
3 Sedaj se ulezi, postavi me v poroštvo s seboj. Kdo je ta, ki bo udaril roki z menoj?
“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
4 Kajti njihovo srce si skril pred razumevanjem, zato jih ne boš povišal.
For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.
5 Kdor svojim prijateljem govori prilizovanja, bodo pešale celo oči njegovih otrok.
He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.
6 Naredil me je tudi za tarčo posmeha med ljudstvom in poprej sem bil kakor bobnič.
“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
7 Tudi moje oko je zatemnjeno zaradi bridkosti in vsi moji udi so kakor senca.
My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
8 Pošteni možje bodo osupli ob tem in nedolžni se bo razvnel zoper hinavca.
Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.
9 Tudi pravični se bo držal svoje poti, kdor pa ima čiste roke, bo močnejši in močnejši.
Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
10 Toda kar se tiče vas vseh, ali se vrnete in torej greste, kajti med vami ne morem najti enega modrega moža.
But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man amongst you.
11 Moji dnevi so minili, moji nameni so zlomljeni, celó misli mojega srca.
My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
12 Noč spreminjajo v dan, svetloba je kratka zaradi teme.
They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness, (Sheol h7585)
14 Trohnenju sem rekel: ›Ti si moj oče, ‹ ličinki: › Ti si moja mati in moja sestra.‹
if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
15 Kje je sedaj moje upanje? Glede mojega upanja, kdo ga bo videl?
where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
