Job 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Daničić–Karadžić Bible (1868), Cyrillic
1And Job again took up his parable, and said:
1Још настави Јов беседу своју и рече:
2Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
2О да бих био као пређашњих месеца, као оних дана кад ме Бог чуваше,
3When His lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness;
3Кад светљаше свећом својом над главом мојом, и при виделу Његовом хођах по мраку,
4As I was in the days of my youth, when the converse of God was upon my tent;
4Како бејах за младости своје, кад тајна Божија беше у шатору мом,
5When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were about me;
5Кад још беше Свемогући са мном, и деца моја око мене,
6When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!
6Кад се траг мој обливаше маслом, и стена ми точаше уље потоцима,
7When I went forth to the gate unto the city, when I prepared my seat in the broad place,
7Кад излажах на врата кроз град, и на улици намештах себи столицу:
8The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood;
8Младићи видећи ме уклањаху се, а старци устајаху и стајаху,
9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;
9Кнезови престајаху говорити и метаху руку на уста своја,
10The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
10Управитељи устезаху глас свој и језик им пријањаше за грло.
11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me;
11Јер које ме ухо чујаше, називаше ме блаженим; и које ме око виђаше, сведочаше ми
12Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.
12Да избављам сиромаха који виче, и сироту и који нема никог да му помогне;
13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
13Благослов оног који пропадаше долажаше на ме, и удовици срце распевах;
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed itself with me; my justice was as a robe and a diadem.
14У правду се облачих и она ми беше одело, као плашт и као венац беше ми суд мој.
15I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
15Око бејах слепом и нога хромом.
16I was a father to the needy; and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.
16Отац бејах убогима, и разбирах за распру за коју не знах.
17And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
17И разбијах кутњаке неправеднику, и из зуба му истрзах грабеж.
18Then I said: 'I shall die with my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the phoenix;
18Зато говорах: У свом ћу гнезду умрети, и биће ми дана као песка.
19My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew shall lie all night upon my branch;
19Корен мој пружаше се крај воде, роса биваше по сву ноћ на мојим гранама.
20My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow shall be renewed in my hand.'
20Слава моја подмлађиваше се у мене, и лук мој у руци мојој понављаше се.
21Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
21Слушаху ме и чекаху, и ћутаху на мој савет.
22After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
22После мојих речи нико не проговараше, тако их натапаше беседа моја.
23And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
23Јер ме чекаху као дажд, и уста своја отвараху као на позни дажд.
24If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
24Кад бих се насмејао на њих, не вероваху, и сјајност лица мог не разгоњаху.
25I chose out their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
25Кад бих отишао к њима, седах у зачеље, и бејах као цар у војсци, кад теши жалосне.
