Iov 4
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Cuvântarea lui Elifaz către Iov
4 Elifaz din Teman a luat cuvântul şi a zis:
2 „Dacă vom îndrăzni să-ţi vorbim, te vei supăra?
Dar cine ar putea să tacă?
3 De multe ori tu ai învăţat pe alţii
şi ai întărit mâinile(A) slăbite.
4 Cuvintele tale au ridicat pe cei ce se clătinau
şi ai întărit genunchii(B) care se îndoiau.
5 Şi acum, când este vorba de tine, eşti slab!
Acum, când eşti atins tu, te tulburi!
Nu este frica(C) ta de Dumnezeu sprijinul tău?
6 Nădejdea(D) ta nu-i neprihănirea ta?
7 Adu-ţi aminte, te rog! Care nevinovat(E) a pierit?
Care oameni neprihăniţi au fost nimiciţi?
8 După câte am văzut eu, numai cei ce ară(F) fărădelegea
şi seamănă nelegiuirea îi seceră roadele!
9 Aceia pier prin suflarea lui Dumnezeu,
nimiciţi de vântul mâniei Lui.
10 Mugetul leilor încetează,
dinţii(G) puilor de lei sunt zdrobiţi!
11 Leul(H) bătrân piere din lipsă de pradă
şi puii leoaicei se risipesc.
Toţi oamenii sunt vinovaţi
12 Un cuvânt s-a furişat până la mine,
şi urechea mea i-a prins sunetele uşoare.
13 În clipa când(I) vedeniile de noapte frământă gândul,
când oamenii sunt cufundaţi într-un somn adânc,
14 m-a apucat groaza(J) şi spaima,
şi toate oasele mi-au tremurat.
15 Un duh a trecut pe lângă mine…
Tot părul mi s-a zbârlit ca ariciul…
16 Un chip cu o înfăţişare necunoscută era înaintea ochilor mei.
Şi am auzit un glas care şoptea încetişor:
17 ‘Fi-va omul(K) fără vină înaintea lui Dumnezeu?
Fi-va el curat înaintea Celui ce l-a făcut?’
18 Dacă n-are încredere Dumnezeu(L) nici în slujitorii Săi,
dacă găseşte El greşeli chiar la îngerii Săi,
19 cu cât(M) mai mult la cei ce locuiesc în case(N) de lut,
care îşi trag obârşia din ţărână
şi pot fi zdrobiţi ca un vierme!
20 De dimineaţă până seara sunt(O) zdrobiţi,
pier pentru totdeauna şi nimeni nu ţine seama de ei.
21 Li se(P) taie firul vieţii:
mor şi tot n-au căpătat înţelepciunea!(Q)
Job 4
King James Version
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
Job 4
New International Version
Eliphaz
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite(A) replied:
2 “If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
But who can keep from speaking?(B)
3 Think how you have instructed many,(C)
how you have strengthened feeble hands.(D)
4 Your words have supported those who stumbled;(E)
you have strengthened faltering knees.(F)
5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged;(G)
it strikes(H) you, and you are dismayed.(I)
6 Should not your piety be your confidence(J)
and your blameless(K) ways your hope?
7 “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished?(L)
Where were the upright ever destroyed?(M)
8 As I have observed,(N) those who plow evil(O)
and those who sow trouble reap it.(P)
9 At the breath of God(Q) they perish;
at the blast of his anger they are no more.(R)
10 The lions may roar(S) and growl,
yet the teeth of the great lions(T) are broken.(U)
11 The lion perishes for lack of prey,(V)
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.(W)
12 “A word(X) was secretly brought to me,
my ears caught a whisper(Y) of it.(Z)
13 Amid disquieting dreams in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,(AA)
14 fear and trembling(AB) seized me
and made all my bones shake.(AC)
15 A spirit glided past my face,
and the hair on my body stood on end.(AD)
16 It stopped,
but I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes,
and I heard a hushed voice:(AE)
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(AF)
Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(AG)
18 If God places no trust in his servants,(AH)
if he charges his angels with error,(AI)
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,(AJ)
whose foundations(AK) are in the dust,(AL)
who are crushed(AM) more readily than a moth!(AN)
20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces;
unnoticed, they perish forever.(AO)
21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,(AP)
so that they die(AQ) without wisdom?’(AR)

Elifazov govor
4 Tada je Elifaz iz Temana odgovorio:
2 Kad bih ti nešto rekao,
bi li ti smetalo?
Kako da ti ništa ne kažem!
3 Ti si poučio mnoge ljude,
hrabrio one klonule.
4 Svojim si riječima pridizao pokleknule,
jačao si one čija koljena klecaju.
5 Ali sad je nevolja stigla tebe
pa si se obeshrabrio.
Zlo te stiglo, a ti se prestrašio.
6 Zar ti pobožnost ne ulijeva pouzdanje,
a tvoj besprijekoran život nadu?
7 Razmisli: je li itko nedužan uništen?
Jesu li igdje pravedni zatrti?
8 Oni koji sade zlo i siju nevolju—
vidio sam to—njih i požanju.
9 Poginu od Božjeg daha,
nestanu od izdisaja njegova gnjeva.
10 Rikali su kao lavovi,
ali lavovima su slomljeni zubi,
11 a lavica je ostala bez plijena,
i njezini su mladi raštrkani.
12 Riječ je potajno stigla do mene,
kao šapat mi je doprla do uha.
13 U ružnim noćnim snovima,
kad ljude svlada dubok san,
14 obuzeo me takav strah i trepet
da su mi se sve kosti stresle.
15 Vjetar[a] mi je prešao preko lica
i sav sam se naježio.
16 Nešto je zastalo nada mnom,
ali nisam mogao prepoznati što.
Neka prikaza bila mi je pred očima.
Bila je tišina, a onda sam čuo glas:
17 »Može li smrtnik biti pravedan pred Bogom?
Može li čovjek biti nedužan pred svojim Stvoriteljem?
18 Bog se ne pouzdaje ni u svoje sluge
i svoje anđele optužuje za greške.
19 Pa koliko će više optuživati ljude
koji stanuju u kućama od gline.
Njihov je temelj u zemaljskom prahu,
lakše ih je zgnječiti nego moljca.
20 Mogu stradati od jutra do večeri
i nestanu a da nitko i ne primijeti.
21 Iščupano je uže što drži njihov šator
i umiru prije nego steknu mudrost.«
