Јов 23

Daničić–Karadžić Bible (1868), Cyrillic

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

1А Јов одговори и рече:

1Then Job answered, and said:

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

2Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.

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

3Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?

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

4I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.

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

5That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

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

6I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.

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

7Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.

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

8But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.

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

9If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.

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

10But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:

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

11My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.

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

12I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.

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

13For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.

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

14And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.

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

15And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.

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

16God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.

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

17For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
