Job 23

World English Bible

Daničić–Karadžić Bible (1868), Cyrillic

1Then Job answered,

1А Јов одговори и рече:

2“Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

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

3Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!

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

4I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

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

5I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.

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

6Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.

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

7There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.

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

8“If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I can’t find him.

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

9He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.

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

10But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

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

11My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.

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

12I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

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

13But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

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

14For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.

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

15Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

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

16For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.

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

17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

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