Kniha Jób

1 (KJV) My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
1 (ROH) Môj duch je rozrušený; moje dni hasnú; zbývajú mi hroby.

2 (KJV) Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
2 (ROH) Je isté, že je posmech posmievačov u mňa, a moje oko má dlieť na ich poburovaní!

3 (KJV) Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
3 (ROH) Nože polož záloh; zaruč sa u seba za mňa! Lebo veď kde kto iný uderí do mojej ruky!

4 (KJV) For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
4 (ROH) Pretože si prikryl ich srdce, aby nerozumeli, preto ich ani nepovýšiš.

5 (KJV) He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
5 (ROH) Kto za podiel oznámi blížnych, toho synov oči sa zatmejú.

6 (KJV) He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
6 (ROH) Ale ma vystavil ľuďom za príslovie, a stal som sa takým, ktorému sa pľuje do tvári.

7 (KJV) Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
7 (ROH) Moje oko zoslablo od žiaľu, a všetky moje údy sú podobné tôni.

8 (KJV) Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
8 (ROH) Statoční ľudia priami sa hrozia nad tým, a nevinný sa poburuje nad pokrytcom.

9 (KJV) The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
9 (ROH) Avšak spravedlivý sa bude držať svojej cesty, a ten, kto je čistých rúk, priberie sily.

10 (KJV) But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
10 (ROH) Ale i vy všetci sa vráťte a nože poďte! Lež nenajdem medzi vami múdreho.

11 (KJV) My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
11 (ROH) Moje dni sa pominuly; moje úmysly sú roztrhané, dedičstvá môjho srdca.

12 (KJV) They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
12 (ROH) Noc mi obracajú na deň, a zase vraj svetlo je blízko tmy.

13 (KJV) If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
13 (ROH) I keby som niečo očakával, jednako bude hrob mojím domom; vo tme si usteliem svoju ložu.

14 (KJV) I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou are my mother, and my sister.
14 (ROH) Jame privolám: Ty si môj otec! Moja mať a moja sestra privolám červom.

15 (KJV) And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
15 (ROH) Kde je tedy moje očakávanie? A čo do môjho očakávania, kto kedy ho uvidí?

16 (KJV) They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
16 (ROH) Všetko to sostúpi k závorám hrobu, akže všetko spolu spočíva na prachu.
