Job 35
1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
Još govori Elijuj i reèe:
2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
Misliš li da si pravo rekao: moja je pravda veæa od Božije?
3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
Jer si rekao: šta æe mi pomoæi, kaka æe mi biti korist, da ne griješim?
4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
Ja æu odgovoriti tebi i drugovima tvojim s tobom.
5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
Pogledaj nebo, i vidi; pogledaj oblake, kako su viši od tebe.
6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
Ako griješiš, šta æeš mu uèiniti? ili ako se umnože bezakonja tvoja, šta æeš mu nauditi?
7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
Ako si pravedan, šta æeš mu dati? ili šta æe primiti iz ruke tvoje?
8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
Èovjeku kakav si može nauditi tvoja zloæa, i sinu èovjeèijemu pomoæi tvoja pravda.
9 Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
Vapiju od velikoga nasilja kojima se èini, i vièu na ruku silnijeh;
10 Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
A nijedan ne govori: gdje je Bog, stvoritelj moj, koji daje pjesmu noæu;
11 who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
Koji èini te smo razumniji od zvijerja zemaljskoga, i mudriji od ptica nebeskih.
12 There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
Tamo vièu s oholosti zlijeh ljudi, ali ne bivaju uslišeni.
13 Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
Jer Bog ne sluša taštine, i svemoguæi ne gleda na nju.
14 And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
Akamoli kad kažeš: ne vidiš to. Pred njim je sud; èekaj ga.
15 For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
A sada èim te gnjev pohodi, nije ništa, niti je gledao na sve što si uèinio;
16 Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
Zato Jov naprazno otvora usta svoja, i bezumno umnožava rijeèi.
