Jób 1
1 Byl muž v zemi Uz, jménem Job, a muž ten byl sprostný a upřímý, boje se Boha, a vystříhaje se zlého.
There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 Kterémuž se narodilo sedm synů a tři dcery.
And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 A měl dobytka sedm tisíc ovec, tři tisíce velbloudů, pět set spřežení volů, a pět set oslic, a čeledi služebné velmi mnoho, a byl muž ten vznešenější nade všecky lidi východní.
And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 I scházívali se synové jeho, a strojívali hody po domích, každý ve dni svém. Posílávali také, a zvávali své tři sestry, aby jedly a pily s nimi.
And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 A když vypořádali dny hodů, posílával Job, a posvěcoval jich, a vstávaje ráno, obětoval zápaly podlé počtu všech jich. Nebo říkával Job: Snad zhřešili synové moji, aneb zlořečili Bohu v srdci svém. Tak činíval Job po všecky ty dny.
And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
6 Jednoho pak dne, když přišli synové Boží, aby se postavili před Hospodinem, přišel také i Satan mezi ně.
But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
7 Tedy řekl Hospodin Satanovi: Odkud jdeš? I odpověděl Satan Hospodinu, řka: Procházel jsem zemi, a obcházel jsem ji.
The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
8 I řekl Hospodin Satanovi: Spatřil-lis služebníka mého Joba, že není jemu rovného na zemi, a že jest muž sprostný a upřímý, bojící se Boha a varující se zlého.
And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
9 A odpovídaje Satan Hospodinu, řekl: Zdaliž se Job darmo bojí Boha?
Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10 Zdaž jsi ty ho neohradil i domu jeho a všeho, což má, se všech stran? Dílu rukou jeho požehnal jsi, a dobytek jeho rozmnožil se na zemi.
Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11 Ale vztáhni nyní ruku svou, a dotkni se všeho, což má, nebude-liť zlořečiti v oči.
But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
12 Tedy řekl Hospodin Satanovi: Aj, cožkoli má, v moci tvé buď, toliko na něj nevztahuj ruky své. I vyšel Satan od tváři Hospodinovy.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13 Jednoho pak dne synové a dcery jeho jedli, a pili víno v domě bratra svého prvorozeného.
So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14 I přišel posel k Jobovi, a řekl: Když volové orali, a oslice se pásly podlé nich,
a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15 Vpád učinivše Sabejští, zajali je, a služebníky zbili ostrostí meče, a utekl jsem toliko já sám, abych oznámil tobě.
and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
16 A když on ještě mluvil, přišed druhý, řekl: Oheň Boží spadl s nebe, a rozpáliv se na dobytek i na služebníky, sehltil je, já pak utekl jsem toliko sám, abych oznámil tobě.
And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 A když ten ještě mluvil, jiný přišed, řekl: Kaldejští sšikovavše tři houfy, připadli na velbloudy, a zajali je, a služebníky zbili ostrostí meče, a utekl jsem toliko já sám, abych oznámil tobě.
And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
18 A když ten ještě mluvil, jiný přišel a řekl: Synové tvoji a dcery tvé jedli, a pili víno v domě bratra svého prvorozeného.
He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
19 A aj, vítr veliký strhl se z té strany od pouště, a udeřil na čtyři úhly domu, tak že se obořil na děti, i zemřeli, a utekl jsem toliko já sám, abych oznámil tobě.
when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
20 Tedy Job vstav, roztrhl roucho své, a oholil hlavu svou, a padna na zem, poklonu učinil.
Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
21 A řekl: Nahý jsem vyšel z života matky své, nahý se také zase tam navrátím. Hospodin dal, Hospodin též odjal. Buď požehnáno jméno Hospodinovo.
and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 V tom ve všem nezhřešil Job, a nepřivlastnil Bohu nic nemoudrého.
In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
