Knjiga o Jobu 15

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Elifaz Temanac progovori tad i reče:	1 And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
2 »Zar šupljom naukom odgovara mudrac i vjetrom istočnim trbuh napuhuje?	2 Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
3 Zar on sebe brani riječima ispraznim, besjedama koje ničem ne koriste?	3 Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
4 Još više ti činiš: ništiš strah od Boga, pred njegovim licem pribranost ukidaš.	4 As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
5 Tvoje riječi krivicu tvoju odaju, poslužio si se jezikom lukavih,	5 For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
6 vlastita te usta osuđuju, ne ja, protiv tebe same ti usne svjedoče.	6 Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
7 Zar si prvi čovjek koji se rodio? Zar si na svijet prije bregova došao?	7 Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills ?
8 Zar si tajne Božje ti prisluškivao i mudrost čitavu za se prisvojio?	8 Hast thou heard God's counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
9 Što ti znadeš a da i mi ne znamo, što ti razumiješ, a da to ne shvaćamo?	9 What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
10 Ima među nama i sijedih i starih kojima je više ljeta no tvom ocu.	10 There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
11 Zar su ti utjehe Božje premalene i blage riječi upućene tebi?	11 Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
12 Što te srce tvoje tako slijepo goni i što tako divlje prevrćeš očima	12 Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things ?
13 kad proti Bogu jarost svoju okrećeš, a iz usta takve riječi ti izlaze!	13 Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth ?
14 Što je čovjek da bi čist mogao biti? Zar je itko rođen od žene pravedan?	14 What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
15 Gle, ni u svece se On ne pouzdava, oku njegovu ni nebesa čista nisu,	15 Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
16 a kamoli to biće gadno i buntovno, čovjek što k’o vodu pije opačinu!	16 How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
17 Mene sad poslušaj, poučit’ te hoću, što god sâm vidjeh, ispričat’ ti želim,	17 I will shew thee, hear me : and I mill tell thee what I have seen.
18 i ono što naučavahu mudraci ne tajeć’ što su primili od pređa	18 Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
19 kojima je zemlja ova bila dana kamo tuđin nije nikada stupio.	19 To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
20 Zlikovac se muči cijelog svoga vijeka, nasilniku već su ljeta odbrojena.	20 The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
21 Krik strave svagda mu u ušima ječi, dok miruje, na njeg baca se razbojnik.	21 The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
22 Ne nada se da će izbjeći tminama i znade dobro da je maču namijenjen,	22 He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
23 strvinaru da je kao plijen obećan. On znade da mu se dan propasti bliži.	23 When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 Nemir i tjeskoba na njeg navaljuju, k’o kralj spreman na boj na nj se obaraju.	24 Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
25 On je protiv Boga podizao ruku, usuđivao se prkosit’ Svesilnom.	25 For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
26 Ohola je čela na njega srljao, iza štita debela dobro zaklonjen.	26 He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
27 Lice mu bijaše obloženo salom a bokovi pretilinom otežali.	27 Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
28 Razrušene je zaposjeo gradove i kućišta nastanio napuštena. Srušit će se ono što za sebe sazda;	28 He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
29 cvasti mu neće, već rasuti se blago, sjena mu se neće po zemlji širiti.	29 He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
30 On se tami više izmaknuti neće, opržit će oganj njegove mladice, u dahu plamenih usta nestat će ga.	30 He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
31 U taštinu svoju neka se ne uzda, jer će mu ispraznost biti svom nagradom.	31 He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
32 Prije vremena će svenut’ mu mladice, grane mu se nikad neće zazelenjet’.	32 Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
33 Kao loza, grozd će stresat’ svoj nezreo, poput masline pobacit će cvatove.	33 He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
34 Da, bezbožničko je jalovo koljeno, i vatra proždire šator podmitljivca.	34 For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
35 Koji zlom zanesu, rađaju nesreću i prijevaru nose u utrobi svojoj.«	35 He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.
