Job 35
1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
Elihu nastavi svoju besjedu i reče:
2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
“Zar ti misliš da pravo svoje braniš, da pravednost pred Bogom dokazuješ,
3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
kada mu kažeš: 'Što ti je to važno, i ako griješim, što ti činim time?'
4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
Na sve to ja ću odgovorit' tebi i prijateljima tvojim ujedno.
5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
Po nebu se obazri i promatraj! Gledaj oblake: od tebe su viši!
6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
Ako griješiš, što si mu uradio, prijestupom svojim što si mu zadao?
7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
Ako si prav, što si dodao njemu i što iz ruke tvoje on dobiva?
8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
Opakost tvoja tebi slične pogađa i pravda tvoja čovjeku koristi.
9 Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
Ali kad ispod teškog stenju jarma, kad vapiju na nasilje moćnika,
10 Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
nitko ne kaže: 'Gdje je Bog, moj tvorac, koji noć pjesmom veselom ispunja,
11 who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
umnijim nas od zvijeri zemskih čini i mudrijima od ptica nebeskih?'
12 There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
Tad vapiju, al' on ne odgovara poradi oholosti zlikovaca.
13 Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
Ali kako je isprazno tvrditi da Bog njihove ne čuje vapaje, da pogled na njih ne svraća Svesilni!
14 And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
A kamoli tek kada ti govoriš: 'On ne vidi mene, parnica moja pred njime stoji, a ja na nj još čekam.'
15 For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
Ili: 'Njegova srdžba ne kažnjava, nimalo on za prijestupe ne mari.'
16 Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
Isprazno tada otvara Job usta i besjede gomila nerazumne.”
