Chapitre 29
1
Job nastavi svoju besjedu i reče:
2
“O, da mi je prošle proživjet' mjesece, dane one kad je Bog nada mnom bdio,
3
kad mi je nad glavom njegov sjao žižak a kroz mrak me svjetlo njegovo vodilo,
4
kao u dane mojih zrelih jeseni kad s mojim stanom Bog prijateljevaše,
5
kada uz mene još bijaše Svesilni i moji me okruživahu dječaci,
6
kada mi se noge u mlijeku kupahu, a potokom ulja ključaše mi kamen!
7
Kada sam na vrata gradska izlazio i svoju stolicu postavljao na trg,
8
vidjevši me, sklanjali bi se mladići, starci bi ustavši stojeći ostali.
9
Razgovor bi prekidali uglednici i usta bi svoja rukom zatvarali.
10
Glavarima glas bi sasvim utihnuo, za nepce bi im se zalijepio jezik.
11
Tko god me slušao, blaženim me zvao, hvalilo me oko kad bi me vidjelo.
12
Jer, izbavljah bijednog kada je kukao i sirotu ostavljenu bez pomoći.
13
Na meni bješe blagoslov izgubljenih, srcu udovice ja veselje vraćah.
14
Pravdom se ja kao haljinom odjenuh, nepristranost bje mi plaštem i povezom.
15
Bjeh oči slijepcu i bjeh noge bogalju,
16
otac ubogima, zastupnik strancima.
17
Kršio sam zube čovjeku opaku, plijen sam čupao iz njegovih čeljusti.
18
Govorah: 'U svom ću izdahnuti gnijezdu, k'o palma, bezbrojne proživjevši dane.'
19
Korijenje se moje sve do vode pruža, na granama mojim odmara se rosa.
20
Pomlađivat će se svagda slava moja i luk će mi se obnavljati u ruci.'
21
Slušali su željno što ću im kazati i šutjeli da od mene savjet čuju.
22
Na riječi mi ne bi ništa dometali i besjede su mi daždile po njima.
23
Za mnom žudjeli su oni k'o za kišom, otvarali usta k'o za pljuskom ljetnim.
24
Osmijeh moj bijaše njima ohrabrenje; pazili su na vedrinu moga lica.
25
Njima ja sam izabirao putove, kao poglavar ja sam ih predvodio, kao kralj među svojim kad je četama kao onaj koji tješi ojađene.
Job
Chapitre 29
1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
