Job 1
1 Bijaše nekoć u zemlji Usu čovjek po imenu Job. Bio je to čovjek neporočan i pravedan: bojao se Boga i klonio zla.
`A man, Joob bi name, was in the lond of Hus; and thilke man was symple, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awey fro yuel.
2 Rodilo mu se sedam sinova i tri kćeri.
And seuene sones and thre douytris weren borun to hym;
3 Imao je sedam tisuća ovaca, tri tisuće deva, pet stotina jarmova goveda, pet stotina magarica i veoma mnogo služinčadi. Čovjek taj bijaše najugledniji među svim istočnjacima.
and his possessioun was seuene thousynde of scheep, and thre thousynde of camels, and fyue hundrid yockis of oxis, and fyue hundrid of femal assis, and ful myche meynee; and `thilke man was grete among alle men of the eest.
4 Sinovi su njegovi običavali naizmjence priređivati gozbe kod jednoga od njih, svaki u svoj dan, te su pozivali svoje tri sestre da jedu i piju s njima.
And hise sones yeden, and maden feestis bi housis, ech man in his day; and thei senten, and clepiden her thre sistris, `that thei schulden ete, and drynke wiyn with hem.
5 A kad bi se izredali s gozbama, Job bi ih pozvao na očišćenje. Uranio bi izjutra i prinio paljenice za svakog od njih; mislio je: “Tko zna nisu li mi sinovi griješili i u srcu Boga hulili!” Tako je Job svagda činio.
And whanne the daies of feeste hadden passid in to the world, Joob sente to hem, and halewide hem, and he roos eerli, and offride brent sacrifices `bi alle. For he seide, Lest perauenture my sones do synne, and curse God in her hertis. Joob dide so in alle daies.
6 Jednoga dana dođu sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
Forsothe in sum day, whanne the sones of God `weren comun to be present bifor the Lord, also Sathan cam among hem.
7 Jahve tad upita Satana: “Odakle dolaziš?” - “Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je”, odgovori on.
To whom the Lord seide, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, and seide, Y haue cumpassid the erthe, and Y haue walkid thorouy it.
8 Nato će Jahve: “Nisi li zapazio slugu moga Joba? Njemu na zemlji nema ravna. Čovjek je to neporočan i pravedan, boji se Boga i kloni zla!”
And the Lord seide to hym, Whether thou hast biholde my seruaunt Joob, that noon in erthe is lyik hym; he is a symple man, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awei fro yuel?
9 A Satan odgovori Jahvi: “Zar se Job uzalud Boga boji?
To whom Sathan answeride, Whether Joob dredith God veynli?
10 Zar nisi ogradio njega, kuću mu i sav posjed njegov? Blagoslovio si djelo njegovih ruku, stoka mu se namnožila po zemlji.
Whethir thou hast not cumpassid hym, and his hows, and al his catel bi cumpas? Thou hast blessid the werkis of hise hondis, and hise possessioun encreesside in erthe.
11 Ali pruži jednom ruku i dirni mu u dobra: u lice će te prokleti!”
But stretche forth thin hond a litil, and touche thou alle thingis whiche he hath in possessioun; if he cursith not thee `in the face, `bileue not to me.
12 “Neka ti bude! - reče Jahve Satanu. - Sa svime što ima radi što ti drago; samo ruku svoju na nj ne diži.” I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina.
Therfor the Lord seide to Sathan, Lo! alle thingis, whiche he hath, ben in thin hond; oneli stretche thou not forth thin hond in to hym. And Sathan yede out fro the face of the Lord.
13 Jednoga dana, dok su Jobovi sinovi i kćeri jeli i pili vino u kući najstarijeg brata,
Sotheli whanne in sum dai `hise sones and douytris eeten, and drunken wiyn in the hows of her firste gendrid brothir,
14 dođe glasnik k Jobu i reče: “Tvoji su volovi orali a magarice pokraj njih pasle,
a messanger cam to Job, `whiche messanger seide, Oxis eriden, and femal assis `weren lesewid bisidis tho;
15 kad iznenada Sabejci navališe na njih i oteše ih, pobivši momke oštrim mačem. Jedini ja utekoh da ti ovo javim.”
and Sabeis felden yn, and token awey alle thingis, and `smytiden the children with swerd; and Y aloone ascapide for to telle to thee.
16 Dok je on još to govorio, dođe drugi i reče: “Oganj Božji udari s neba, spali tvoje ovce i pastire te ih proždrije. Jedini ja utekoh da ti javim.”
And whanne he spak yit, anothir cam, and seide, Fier of God cam doun fro heuene, and wastide scheep, and `children touchid; and Y aloone ascapide for to telle `to thee.
17 Dok je još govorio, dođe treći i reče: “Kaldejci navališe sa tri čete na tvoje deve i oteše ih, pobivši momke oštrim mačem. Jedini ja utekoh da ti javim.”
But yit the while he spak, also anothir cam, and seide, Caldeis maden thre cumpenyes, and assailiden the camels, and token tho awei, and thei smytiden `also the children with swerd; and Y aloone ascapide to telle to thee.
18 Dok je ovaj još govorio, dođe četvrti i reče: “Tvoji su sinovi i kćeri jeli i pili vino u kući najstarijeg brata.
And yit he spak, and, lo! anothir entride, and seide, While thi sones and douytris eeten, and drunken wiyn in the hows of her firste gendrid brothir,
19 I gle, vjetar se silan diže iz pustinje, udari na sva četiri ugla kuće, obori je na djecu te ona zaglaviše. Jedini ja utekoh da ti javim.”
a greet wynde felde yn sudenli fro the coost of desert, and schook foure corneris of the hows, `which felde doun, and oppresside thi children, and thei ben deed; and Y aloone fledde to telle to thee.
20 Tad ustade Job, razdrije haljinu na sebi, obrija glavu pa ničice pade na zemlju, pokloni se
Thanne Joob roos, and to-rente hise clothis, and `with pollid heed he felde doun on the erthe, and worschipide God,
21 i reče: “Go iziđoh iz krila majčina, go ću se onamo i vratiti. Jahve dao, Jahve oduzeo! Blagoslovljeno ime Jahvino!”
and seide, Y yede nakid out of the wombe of my modir, Y schal turne ayen nakid thidur; the Lord yaf, the Lord took awei; as it pleside the Lord, so `it is doon; the name of the Lord be blessid.
22 Uza sve to, nije sagriješio Job niti je kakvu ludost protiv Boga izustio.
In alle these thingis Joob synnede not in hise lippis, nether spak ony fonned thing ayens God.
