Job, 16
1. Then Job, answering, said:
1. Job progovori i reèe:
2. I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.
2. "Koliko se takvih naslušah besjeda, kako ste mi svi vi muèni tješioci!
3. Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak?
3. Ima li kraja tim rijeèima ispraznim? Što te goni da mi tako odgovaraš?
4. I, too, can speak like you; and I also wish that your soul favored my soul.
4. I ja bih mogao k'o vi govoriti da vam je duša na mjestu duše moje; i ja bih vas mog'o zasuti rijeèima i nad sudbom vašom tako kimat' glavom;
5. I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.
5. i ja bih mogao ustima vas hrabrit', i ne bih žalio trud svojih usana.
6. I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.
6. Al' ako govorim, patnja se ne blaži, ako li zašutim, zar æe me minuti?
7. But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.
7. Zlopakost me sada shrvala posvema, èitava se rulja oborila na me.
8. But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.
8. Ustao je proti meni da svjedoèi i u lice mi se baca klevetama.
9. My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.
9. Jarošæu me svojom razdire i goni, škrguæuæ' zubima obara se na me. Moji protivnici sijeku me oèima,
10. He has gathered together his fury towards me, and, threatening me, he has roared against me with his teeth; my enemy has beheld me with terrible eyes.
10. prijeteæi, na mene usta razvaljuju, po obrazima me sramotno æuškaju, u èoporu svi tad navaljuju na me.
11. They have opened their mouths against me, and, reproaching me, they have struck me on the cheek; they are nourished by my sufferings.
11. Da, zloæudnicima Bog me predao, u ruke opakih on me izruèio.
12. God has confined me with the immoral, and he has delivered me into the hands of the impious.
12. Mirno življah dok On ne zadrma mnome, za šiju me šèepa da bi me slomio.
13. I, who once was wealthy, am now crushed. He has grabbed me by my neck; he has broken me and has place me before him as a sign.
13. Uze me za biljeg i strijelama osu, nemilosrdno mi bubrege probode i mojom žuèi zemlju žednu natopi.
14. He has surrounded me with his lances. He has severely wounded my lower back, he has not been lenient, and he has poured out my organs upon the earth.
14. Na tijelu mi ranu do rane otvara, kao bijesan ratnik nasræe na mene.
15. He has cut me with wound after wound. He has rushed upon me like a giant.
15. Tijelo sam golo u kostrijet zašio, zario sam èelo svoje u prašinu.
16. I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes.
16. Zapalilo mi se sve lice od suza, sjena tamna preko vjeða mi je pala.
17. My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.
17. A nema nasilja na rukama mojim, molitva je moja bila uvijek èista.
18. These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.
18. O zemljo, krvi moje nemoj sakriti i kriku mom ne daj nigdje da poèine.
19. O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.
19. Odsad na nebu imam ja svjedoka, u visini gore moj stoji branitelj.
20. For behold, my witness is in heaven, and my confidante is on high.
20. Moja vika moj je odvjetnik kod Boga dok se ispred njega suze moje liju:
21. My friends are full of words; my eye rains tears upon God.
21. o, da me obrani u parbi mojoj s Bogom ko što smrtnik brani svojega bližnjega.
22. And I wish that a man might be so judged before God, just as the son of man is judged with his assistant!
22. No životu mom su odbrojena ljeta, na put bez povratka meni je krenuti.
23. For behold, a few years pass by, and I am walking a path by which I will not return.
23.
