Capítulo 15
1
Elifaz Temanac progovori tad i reče:
2
“Zar šupljom naukom odgovara mudrac i vjetrom istočnim trbuh napuhuje?
3
Zar on sebe brani riječima ispraznim, besjedama koje ničem ne koriste?
4
Još više ti činiš: ništiš strah od Boga, pred njegovim licem pribranost ukidaš.
5
Tvoje riječi krivicu tvoju odaju, poslužio si se jezikom lukavih,
6
vlastita te usta osuđuju, ne ja, protiv tebe same ti usne svjedoče.
7
Zar si prvi čovjek koji se rodio? Zar si na svijet prije bregova došao?
8
Zar si tajne Božje ti prisluškivao i mudrost čitavu za se prisvojio?
9
Što ti znadeš, a da i mi ne znamo, što ti razumiješ, a da to ne shvaćamo?
10
Ima među nama i sijedih i starih kojima je više ljeta no tvom ocu.
11
Zar su ti utjehe Božje premalene i blage riječi upućene tebi?
12
Što te srce tvoje tako slijepo goni i što tako divlje prevrćeš očima
13
kad proti Bogu jarost svoju okrećeš, a iz usta takve riječi ti izlaze!
14
Što je čovjek da bi čist mogao biti? Zar je itko rođen od žene pravedan?
15
Gle, ni u svece se On ne pouzdava, oku njegovu ni nebesa čista nisu,
16
a kamoli to biće gadno i buntovno, čovjek što k'o vodu pije opačinu!
17
Mene sad poslušaj, poučit' te hoću, što god sam vidjeh, ispričat' ti želim,
18
i ono što naučavahu mudraci ne tajeć' što su primili od pređa
19
kojima je zemlja ova bila dana kamo tuđin nije nikada stupio.
20
Zlikovac se muči cijelog svoga vijeka, nasilniku već su ljeta odbrojena.
21
Krik strave svagda mu u ušima ječi, dok miruje, na njeg baca se razbojnik.
22
Ne nada se da će izbjeći tminama i znade dobro da je maču namijenjen,
23
strvinaru da je kao plijen obećan. On znade da mu se dan propasti bliži.
24
Nemir i tjeskoba na njeg navaljuju, k'o kralj spreman na boj na nj se obaraju.
25
On je protiv Boga podizao ruku, usuđivao se prkosit' Svesilnom
26
Ohola je čela na njega srljao, iza štita debela dobro zaklonjen.
27
Lice mu bijaše obloženo salom a bokovi pretilinom otežali.
28
Razrušene je zaposjeo gradove i kućišta nastanio napuštena. Srušit će se ono što za sebe sazda;
29
cvasti mu neće, već rasuti se blago, sjena mu se neće po zemlji širiti.
30
On se tami više izmaknuti neće, opržit će oganj njegove mladice, u dahu plamenih usta nestat će ga.
31
U taštinu svoju neka se ne uzda, jer će mu ispraznost biti svom nagradom.
32
Prije vremena će svenut' mu mladice, grane mu se nikad neće zazelenjet'.
33
Kao loza, grozd će stresat' svoj nezreo, poput masline pobacit će cvatove.
34
Da, bezbožničko je jalovo koljeno, i vatra proždire šator podmitljivca.
35
Koji zlom zanesu, rađaju nesreću i prijevaru nose u utrobi svojoj.”
Job
Capítulo 15
1
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7
Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11
Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
14
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
17
I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
26
He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
28
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
29
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
30
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
31
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
32
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
