Job 19
1 Potem je Job odgovoril in rekel:
And Job answered and said,
2 »Doklej boste mučili mojo dušo in me z besedami lomili na koščke?
How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
3 Teh desetkrat ste me grajali. Ni vas sram, da se mi delate tujce.
These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.
4 Če je res to, da sem zašel, moja zmota ostaja z menoj.
And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5 Če se boste zares povzdigovali zoper mene in zoper mene obsojali moj očitek,
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,
6 vedite torej, da me je Bog zrušil in me obdal s svojo mrežo.
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.
7 Glej, kričim o krivici, toda nisem slišan; na glas vpijem, toda tam ni sodbe.
Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8 Ogradil je mojo stezo, da ne morem mimo in postavil je temo na moje poti.
He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9 Oropal me je moje slave in odvzel krono iz moje glave.
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 Uničil me je na vsaki strani in odšel sem. Moje upanje je odstranil kakor drevo.
He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.
11 Prav tako je zoper mene vžgal svoj bes in me šteje kakor enega izmed svojih sovražnikov.
And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.
12 Njegova krdela so prišla skupaj in dvignila njihovo pot zoper mene in se utaborila naokoli mojega šotora.
His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.
13 Moje brate je postavil daleč od mene in moji znanci so se resnično odtujili od mene.
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.
14 Moja žlahta je odpovedala in moji zaupni prijatelji so me pozabili.
My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.
15 Tisti, ki prebivajo v moji hiši in moje služabnice me imajo za tujca. Neznanec sem v njihovih očeh.
The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.
16 Poklical sem svojega služabnika, pa mi ni dal nobenega odgovora. Prosil sem ga s svojimi usti.
I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.
17 Moj dih je tuj moji ženi, čeprav sem prosil zaradi otrok svojega lastnega telesa.
My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.
18 Da, mladi otroci so me prezirali. Vzdignil sem se in oni so govorili zoper mene.
Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.
19 Vsem svojim bližnjim prijateljem sem se gnusil. Tisti, ki sem jih imel rad, so se obrnili zoper mene.
All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 Moje kosti se lepijo na mojo kožo in na moje meso in pobegnil sem s kožo med svojimi zobmi.
My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Imejte usmiljenje z menoj, imejte usmiljenje z menoj, oh vi, moji prijatelji, kajti Božja roka se me je dotaknila.
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Čemu me preganjate kakor Bog in niste nasičeni z mojim mesom?
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh da bi bile moje besede sedaj zapisane! Oh, da bi bile natisnjene v knjigi!
Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 Da bi bile vgravirane z železnim peresom in svincem v skalo na veke!
That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
25 Kajti jaz vem, da moj odkupitelj živi in da bo na zadnji dan stal nad zemljo.
And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;
26 Čeprav po moji koži črvi uničijo to telo, bom vendar v svojem mesu videl Boga,
And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see God;
27 ki ga bom videl zase in moje oči bodo gledale in ne drug, čeprav je moja notranjost použita znotraj mene.
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: — my reins are consumed within me.
28 Toda vi bi morali reči: ›Zakaj ga preganjamo, ‹ glede na to, da je korenina zadeve najdena v meni?
If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,
29 Bojte se meča, kajti bes prinaša kaznovanja meča, da boste lahko vedeli, da je sodba.«
Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.
