Job 23

Berean Standard Bible

Daničić–Karadžić Bible (1868), Cyrillic

1Then Job answered:

1А Јов одговори и рече:

2“Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

2Још је тужњава моја одмет? А невоља је моја тежа од уздаха мојих.

3If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.

3О, кад бих знао како бих нашао Бога! Да отидем до престола Његовог,

4I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.

4Да разложим пред Њим парбу своју, и уста своја напуним разлога,

5I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.

5Да знам шта би ми одговорио, и разумем шта би ми рекао.

6Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.

6Би ли се према великој својој сили прео са мном? Не; него би ми помогао.

7Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

7Онде би се праведан човек могао правдати с Њим, и ослободио бих се за свагда од свог судије.

8If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.

8Гле, ако пођем напред, нема Га; ако ли натраг, не находим Га;

9When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.

9Ако на лево ради, не видим Га; ако на десно, заклонио се, не могу Га видети.

10Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

10Али Он зна пут мој; кад ме окуша, изаћи ћу као злато.

11My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.

11По стопама је Његовим ступала нога моја; пута Његова држао сам се, и не зађох.

12I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

12Од заповести уста Његових нисам одступао; чувао сам речи уста Његових више него свој ужитак.

13But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

13Али кад Он шта науми, ко ће Га одвратити? Шта душа Његова зажели, оно чини.

14For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.

14И извршиће шта је наумио за ме; и тога има у Њега много.

15Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.

15Зато сам се уплашио од Њега; и кад то мислим, страх ме је од Њега.

16God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.

16Бог је растопио срце моје, Свемогући ме је уплашио.

17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.

17Што не погибох пре мрака? И што не сакри мрак испред мене?
