Job 5
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
5 Jobe, ako zavapiš, hoće li ti se tko odazvati?
Kojem ćeš se od anđela[a] obratiti?
2 Jer, bezumnika ubija ogorčenost,
a glupana izjeda zavist.
3 Vidio sam bezumnika kako pušta korijen,
ali ubrzo mu dom postade proklet.
4 Djeca su mu bespomoćna,
nitko ih na sudu ne brani.
5 Žetvu mu jedu gladni,
skupljajući je između trnja,
a pohlepni žude za njegovim bogatstvom.
6 Nedaća ne dolazi iz prašine,
niti nevolja niče iz zemlje.
7 Naprotiv, čovjek je uzrok vlastite patnje,
kao što je sigurno da iskre lete iz vatre.
8 Na tvome bih mjestu potražio Boga
i iznio mu svoj hvalospjev.
9 On čini nezamisliva čuda,
čudesa koja se ne mogu izbrojati.
10 On zemlji daruje kišu
i poljima šalje vodu.
11 Ponižene podiže visoko,
žalosnima daje spokoj.
12 On osujećuje naume lukavih,
da im ništa ne pođe za rukom.
13 On mudrace hvata u njihovom lukavstvu
i prepredenima mrsi račune.
14 Danju ih obuzima tama,
a u podne tapkaju kao da je noć.
15 On siromašnoga spašava
od njihovog oštrog jezika
i izbavlja ga iz ruke silnika.
16 Stoga, za siromašne ima nade,
a Bog zatvara usta nepravednima.
17 Blago čovjeku koga Bog ispravlja.
Zato ne preziri kaznu Svemoćnoga.
18 On ranjava, ali i previja;
udara, ali i liječi svojim rukama.
19 Izbavit će te iz mnogih nevolja,
nikakvo te neće snaći zlo.[b]
20 U vrijeme gladi otkupit će te od smrti,
a u ratu od sile mača.
21 Štitit će te od opakog jezika,
neće te biti strah kad dođe uništenje.
22 Smijat ćeš se razaranju i gladi,
i nećeš se plašiti zvijeri.
23 Jer, tvoje će oranice biti bez kamenja,[c]
a zvijeri će živjeti u miru s tobom.
24 Znat ćeš da ti je šator siguran,
obilazit ćeš svoje imanje i ništa ti neće manjkati.
25 Imat ćeš mnogo djece,
potomaka će biti kao trave na zemlji.
26 Do groba ćeš stići u dubokoj starosti,
bujat ćeš kao žito dok ga ne požanju.
27 Spoznali smo da je to istina.
Stoga, poslušaj pa i ti spoznaj.
Job 5
English Standard Version
5 “Call now; is there anyone who will answer you?
To which of (A)the holy ones will you turn?
2 Surely vexation kills the fool,
and jealousy slays the simple.
3 (B)I have seen the fool taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
4 His children are (C)far from safety;
they are crushed in (D)the gate,
and there is no one to deliver them.
5 The hungry eat his harvest,
and he takes it even out of thorns,[a]
and the thirsty pant[b] after his[c] wealth.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 but man is (E)born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward.
8 “As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,
9 who (F)does great things and (G)unsearchable,
(H)marvelous things without number:
10 he gives (I)rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (J)sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (K)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (L)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and (M)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (N)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
and (O)injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold, (P)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore (Q)despise not the discipline of the (R)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (S)binds up;
he (T)shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will (U)deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no (V)evil[d] shall touch you.
20 (W)In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be (X)hidden from the lash of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
and shall not fear (Y)the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your (Z)tent is at peace,
and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
25 You shall know also that your (AA)offspring shall be many,
and your descendants as (AB)the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in (AC)ripe old age,
like a sheaf gathered up in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (AD)searched out; it is true.
Hear, and know it for your good.”[e]
