Job, 27
1. Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:
1. Job nastavi svoju besjedu i reèe:
2. As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,
2. "Živoga mi Boga što mi pravdu krati i Svesilnog koji dušu mi zagorèa:
3. as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
3. sve dok duha moga bude još u meni, dok mi dah Božji u nosnicama bude,
4. my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.
4. usne moje neæe izustiti zloæu niti æe laž kakva doæi na moj jezik.
5. Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.
5. Daleko od mene da vam dadem pravo, nedužnost svoju do zadnjeg daha branim.
6. I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.
6. Pravde svoje ja se držim, ne puštam je; zbog mojih me dana srce korit' neæe.
7. Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.
7. Neka mi dušmana kob opakog snaðe, a mog protivnika udes bezbožnikov!
8. For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?
8. Èemu se nadati može kad vapije i kada uzdiže k Bogu dušu svoju?
9. Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?
9. Hoæe li èuti Bog njegove krikove kada se na njega obori nevolja?
10. Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?
10. Zar æe se radovat' on u Svesilnome, zar æe Boga svakog èasa zazivati?
11. I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.
11. Ali Božju ruku ja æu vam pokazat' i neæu vam sakrit namjere Svesilnog.
12. Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?
12. Eto, sve ste sami mogli to vidjeti, što se onda u ispraznosti gubite?"
13. This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty.
13. "Ovu sudbu Bog dosuðuje opakom, ovo baštini silnik od Svemoguæeg.
14. If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread.
14. Ima li sinova mnogo, maè ih èeka, a porod mu neæe imat' dosta kruha.
15. Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.
15. Smrt æe sahranit' preživjele njegove i udovice ih oplakivat neæe.
16. If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,
16. Ako i srebra k'o praha nagomila, ako i nakupi haljina k'o blata,
17. then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.
17. nek' ih skuplja, odjenut æe ih pravednik, ljudi æe nedužni podijeliti srebro.
18. He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.
18. Od pauèine je kuæu sagradio, kolibicu kakvu sebi diže èuvar:
19. When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
19. bogat je legao, al' po posljednji put; kad oèi otvori, nièeg više nema.
20. Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.
20. Usred bijela dana strava ga spopada, noæu ga oluja zgrabi i odnese.
21. A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.
21. Istoèni ga vjetar digne i odvuèe, daleko ga baca od njegova mjesta.
22. And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.
22. Bez milosti njime vitla on posvuda, dok mu ovaj kuša umaæi iz ruke.
23. He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.
23. Rukama plješæu nad njegovom propašæu i zvižde na njega kamo god došao.
