Chapter 22
1
A Elifas Temanac odgovori i reče:
2
Može li Bogu biti čovek koristan?
Sam je sebi koristan čovek mudar.
3
Je li Svemogućem radost, ako si pravedan?
Ili Mu je dobit, ako hodiš bez mane?
4
Hoće li te karati i ići na sud s tobom
zato što te se boji?
5
Nije li zloća tvoja velika?
I nepravdama tvojim ima li kraja?
6
Jer si uzimao zalog od braće svoje nizašta,
i svlačio si haljine s golih.
7
Umornog nisi napojio vode,
i gladnome nisi dao hleba.
8
Zemlja je bila čoveka silnog,
i ugledni je sedeo u njoj.
9
Udovice si otpuštao prazne,
i mišice sirotama potirao si.
10
Zato su oko tebe zamke,
i straši te strah iznenada.
11
I mrak je oko tebe da ne vidiš,
i povodanj pokriva te.
12
Nije li Bog na visini nebeskoj?
Pogledaj gore zvezde, kako su visoko.
13
Ali ti kažeš: Šta zna Bog?
Eda li će kroz tamu suditi?
14
Oblaci Ga zaklanjaju, te ne vidi;
hoda po krugu nebeskom.
15
Jesi li zapazio stari put
kojim su išli nepravednici,
16
Koji se iskoreniše pre vremena
i voda se razli po temelju njihovom?
17
Govorahu Bogu: Idi od nas.
Šta bi im učinio Svemogući?
18
A On im je napunio kuće dobra.
Ali namera bezbožnička daleko je od mene.
19
Videće pravednici i radovaće se,
i bezazleni podsmevaće im se.
20
Da, još nije uništeno dobro naše,
a ostatak je njihov proždrao oganj.
21
Složi se s tim i pomiri se;
tako će ti biti dobro.
22
Primi iz usta Njegovih zakon,
i složi reči Njegove u srcu svom.
23
Ako se vratiš k Svemogućem, opet ćeš se nazidati,
ako udaljiš od šatora svojih bezakonje,
24
Tada ćeš metati po prahu zlato
i ofirsko zlato po kamenju iz potoka.
25
I Svemogući biće ti zlato i srebro
i sila tvoja.
26
Jer ćeš se tada radovati o Gospodu,
i podignućeš k Bogu lice svoje.
27
Molićeš Mu se, i uslišiće te,
i zavete svoje izvršićeš.
28
Šta god naumiš, izlaziće ti;
i na putevima tvojim svetliće videlo.
29
Kad drugi budu poniženi, reći ćeš: Da se podignu;
i Bog će izbaviti onog ko je oborenih očiju.
30
Izbaviće i onog koji nije bez krivice;
izbaviće ga čistotom ruku tvojih.
Job
Chapter 22
1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2
Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10
Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11
Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15
Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16
Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17
Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19
The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20
Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25
Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26
For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
