WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Veru učinih sa očima svojim, pa kako bih pogledao na devojku?
1 “I made a covenant with my eyes; how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?
2 Jer kakav je deo od Boga odozgo? I kakvo nasledstvo od Svemogućeg s visine?
2 For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Nije li pogibao nevaljalom i čudo onima koji čine bezakonje?
3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
4 Ne vide li On puteve moje, i sve korake moje ne broji li?
4 Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 Ako hodih s lažju ili ako pohita noga moja na prevaru,
5 “If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit
6 Neka me izmeri na merilima pravim, i neka Bog pozna dobrotu moju.
6 (let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
7 Ako su koraci moji zašli s puta, i ako je za očima mojim pošlo srce moje, i za ruke moje prionulo šta god,
7 if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
8 Neka ja sejem a drugi jede, i neka se iskorene izdanci moji.
8 then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
9 Ako se zanelo srce moje za kojom ženom, i ako sam vrebao na vratima bližnjeg svog,
9 “If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,
10 Neka drugom melje žena moja, i neka se drugi nad njom povijaju.
10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
11 Jer je to grdilo i bezakonje za sudije.
11 For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
12 Jer bi to bio oganj koji bi proždirao do uništenja, i svu bi moju letinu iskorenio.
12 for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
13 Ako nisam hteo doći na sud sa slugom svojim ili sa sluškinjom svojom, kad bi se tužili na mene;
13 “If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me,
14 Jer šta bih činio kad bi se Bog podigao, i kad bi potražio, šta bih Mu odgovorio?
14 what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?
15 Koji je mene stvorio u utrobi, nije li stvorio i njega? Nije li nas On isti sazdao u materici?
15 Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?
16 Ako sam odbio siromasima želju njihovu, i oči udovici zamutio,
16 “If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 I ako sam zalogaj svoj sam jeo, a nije ga jela i sirota,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 Jer je od mladosti moje rasla sa mnom kao kod oca, i od utrobe matere svoje vodao sam je;
18 (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, I have guided her from my mother’s womb);
19 Ako sam gledao koga gde gine nemajući haljine, i siromaha gde se nema čime pokriti,
19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
20 Ako me nisu blagosiljala bedra njegova što se runom ovaca mojih utoplio,
20 if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;
21 Ako sam izmahnuo rukom na sirotu, kad videh na vratima pomoć svoju,
21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;
22 Neka mi ispadne rame iz pleća, i ruka moja neka se otkine iz zgloba.
22 then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
23 Jer sam se bojao pogibli od Boga, kog veličanstvu ne bih odoleo.
23 For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.
24 Ako sam polagao na zlato nadanje svoje, ili čistom zlatu govorio: Uzdanico moja!
24 “If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’
25 Ako sam se veselio što mi je imanje veliko i što mnogo stiče ruka moja,
25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
26 Ako sam gledao na sunce, kad sjaje, i na mesec kad ponosito hodi,
26 if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,
27 I srce se moje potajno prevarilo i ruku moju poljubila usta moja,
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth;
28 I to bi bilo bezakonje za sudije, jer bih se odrekao Boga ozgo;
28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have denied the God who is above.
29 Ako sam se radovao nesreći nenavidnika svog, i ako sam zaigrao kada ga je zlo zadesilo,
29 “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him
30 Jer ne dadoh jeziku svom da greši tražeći dušu njegovu s proklinjanjem;
30 (I have certainly not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
31 Ako ne govorahu domašnji moji: Ko bi nam dao meso njegovo? Ne možemo se ni najesti;
31 if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’
32 Stranac nije noćivao napolju; vrata svoja otvarao sam putniku;
32 (the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33 Ako sam, kao što čine ljudi, tajio prestupe svoje i krio svoje bezakonje u svojim nedrima,
33 if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 Ako sam i mogao plašiti veliko mnoštvo, ipak od najmanjeg u domu beše me strah; zato ćutah i ne odlažah od vrata.
34 because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
35 O da bih imao koga da me sasluša! Gle, želja je moja da mi Svemogući odgovori i suparnik moj da mi napiše knjigu.
35 oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!
36 Nosio bih je na ramenu svom, vezao bih je sebi kao venac,
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and I would bind it to me as a crown.
37 Broj koraka svojih kazao bih Mu, kao knez pristupio bih k Njemu.
37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. I would go near to him like a prince.
38 Ako je na me vikala moja zemlja, i brazde njene plakale,
38 If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;
39 Ako sam jeo rod njen bez novaca i dosađivao duši gospodara njenih,
39 if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,
40 Mesto pšenice neka mi rađa trnje, i mesto ječma kukolj. Svršiše se reči Jovove.
40 let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And what is more, when he had them they were no joy to him: so he also declared, saying, "If I did so much as rejoice when my wealth waxed great:" wherefore neither did he grieve when it was gone.

And if thou wouldest also hear of his strivings after continence, hearken to him when he saith, "I made a covenant with mine eyes, that I should not think upon a maid." For this cause his wife did not break his spirit, for he loved her even before this, not however immoderately, but as is due to a wife.
