Kniha Jób

1 (UKJV) Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
1 (KAT) Tu prehovoril Temančan Elifaz a vravel:

2 (UKJV) If we analyse to commune with you, will you be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
2 (KAT) „Možno s tebou hovoriť? Veď skleslý si! Kto však mohol by sa zdržať slova?

3 (UKJV) Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.
3 (KAT) Mnohých si zaiste poučoval, utužoval ochabnuté ruky,

4 (UKJV) Your words have raised up him that was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.
4 (KAT) posilňoval chvejúce sa nohy, obodroval slovom nestálych.

5 (UKJV) "But now it has come upon you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled. "
5 (KAT) Keď to prišlo na teba, mrzíš sa, keď sa ťa to dotklo, si skľúčený.

6 (UKJV) Is not this your fear, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways?
6 (KAT) Nádej v bázeň pred Bohom neskladáš už, na život dobrý nespoliehaš sa?

7 (UKJV) Remember, I pray you, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
7 (KAT) Len si spomeň: Nevinný var’ zhynul? A či dobrí vyhubení boli?

8 (UKJV) Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
8 (KAT) Sám som videl, tí, čo orú zlobu, neprávosti sejú, tí ich aj žnú.

9 (UKJV) By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
9 (KAT) Zahubí ich závan hnevu Pánovho, vietor jeho srdu ich znivočí.

10 (UKJV) The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
10 (KAT) Leva rev, vysk levice (umĺknu hneď), zuby ich levíčat sa vylámu.

11 (UKJV) The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
11 (KAT) Lev hynie, keď nieto koristi mladé levíčatá sa rozpŕchnu.

12 (UKJV) Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
12 (KAT) Do sluchu mi slovo prišlo úchytkom, moje uši zachytili čosi…

13 (UKJV) In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
13 (KAT) Raz dumal som v ľaku nočných preludov, keď na ľudí tuhý spánok chodí.

14 (UKJV) Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
14 (KAT) Strach a triaška prišli na mňa vzápätí, až mi rozochveli všetky kosti.

15 (UKJV) "Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: "
15 (KAT) A potom mi vietor zavial kolo tváre, na hlave mi vlasy dupkom vstávali.

16 (UKJV) 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,
16 (KAT) Zastal… Podobu jeho nepoznal som, pred zrakom mi stála dáka vidina, tichulinko hlas jej šepkať čul som:

17 (UKJV) Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
17 (KAT) »Kto spravodlivý je v očiach Pána, kto pred svojím Tvorcom čistý je?«

18 (UKJV) "Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: "
18 (KAT) Veď on svojim sluhom nedôveruje a na anjeloch chyby nachodí,

19 (UKJV) How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
19 (KAT) tým skôr na tých, čo len v domoch z hliny sú, iba v prachu majú postať svoju, bývajú jak mole rozmliaždení.

20 (UKJV) They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
20 (KAT) Od svitania do mrku rozpadnú sa, ani netušia ako - navždy hynú.

21 (UKJV) Does not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
21 (KAT) Povrázky ich stanu im roztrhajú, musia zomrieť, no nie v múdrosti.
