< Job 18 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
A Vildad Sušanin odgovori i reèe:
2 “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
Kad æete svršiti razgovor? Orazumite se, pa æemo onda govoriti.
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
Zašto se misli da smo kao stoka? zašto smo gadni u vašim oèima?
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
Koji rastržeš dušu svoju u jarosti svojoj, hoæe li se tebe radi ostaviti zemlja i stijena se premjestiti sa svojega mjesta?
5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
Da, vidjelo bezbožnijeh ugasiæe se, i iskra ognja njihova neæe sijati.
6 The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
Vidjelo æe pomrknuti u šatoru njegovu, i žižak æe se njegov ugasiti u njemu.
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
Silni koraci njegovi stegnuæe se, i oboriæe ga njegova namjera.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
Jer æe se uvaliti u zamku nogama svojim i naiæi æe na mrežu;
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
Uhvatiæe ga zamka za petu i svladaæe ga lupež.
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
Sakriveno mu je pruglo na zemlji, i klopka na stazi.
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
Otsvuda æe ga strahote strašiti i tjeraæe ga ustopce.
12 His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
Izgladnjeæe sila njegova, i nevolja æe biti gotova uza nj.
13 The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
Poješæe žile kože njegove, poješæe žile njegove prvenac smrti.
14 He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
Išèupaæe se iz stana njegova uzdanica njegova, i to æe ga odvesti k caru strašnom.
15 There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
Nastavaæe se u šatoru njegovu, koji neæe biti njegov, posuæe se sumporom stan njegov.
16 His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
Žile æe se njegove posušiti ozdo, i ozgo æe se sasjeæi grane njegove.
17 His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
Spomen æe njegov poginuti na zemlji, niti æe mu imena biti po ulicama.
18 He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Odagnaæe se iz svjetlosti u mrak, i izbaciæe se iz svijeta.
19 He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
Ni sina ni unuka neæe mu biti u narodu njegovu, niti kakoga ostatka u stanovima njegovijem.
20 Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
Èudiæe se danu njegovu koji budu poslije njega, a koji su bili prije obuzeæe ih strah.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
Taki su stanovi bezakonikovi, i tako je mjesto onoga koji ne zna za Boga.
