Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil.
Bil je mož v deželi Uc, katerega ime je bilo Job, in ta mož je bil popoln in iskren in nekdo, ki se je bal Boga in se ogibal zla.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters,
Tam se mu je rodilo sedem sinov in tri hčere.
3 and he owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man of all the people of the East.
Njegovo imetje je bilo tudi sedem tisoč ovc, tri tisoč kamel, petsto jarmov volov, petsto oslic in zelo velika družina, tako da je bil ta človek največji izmed vseh mož vzhoda.
4 Job’s sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
Njegovi sinovi so šli in praznovali v svojih hišah vsak svoj dan. Poslali so in dali poklicati svoje tri sestre, da jedo in pijejo z njimi.
5 And when the days of feasting were over, Job would send for his children to purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.
Bilo je tako, da ko so se dnevi njihovega praznovanja iztekli, je Job poslal, jih posvečeval in vstajal zgodaj zjutraj ter daroval žgalne daritve glede na število njih vseh, kajti Job je rekel: »Morda so moji sinovi grešili in v svojih srcih prekleli Boga.« Tako je Job nenehno delal.
6 One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
Bil je torej dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se pokažejo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi.
7 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Od kod prihajaš?« Nató je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Od potikanja sem ter tja po zemlji in od hoje gor in dol po njej.«
8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil.”
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Si kaj preudaril [o] mojem služabniku Jobu, ker na zemlji ni nikogar podobnega njemu; popoln in pošten človek je, ki se boji Boga in se ogiblje zla?«
9 Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
Potem je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Mar se Job zastonj boji Boga?
10 Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
Mar nisi ti naredil ograje okoli njega, okoli njegove hiše in okoli vsega, kar ima na vsaki strani? Blagoslovil si delo njegovih rok in njegovo imetje se je povečalo v deželi.
11 But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni vsega, kar ima in preklinjal te bo v tvoj obraz.«
12 “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, vse, kar ima, je v tvoji oblasti, samo nanj ne iztegni svoje roke.« Tako je Satan odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti.
13 One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
Bil je dan, ko so njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
14 a messenger came and reported to Job: “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
K Jobu je prišel poslanec in rekel: »Voli so orali in osli so se pasli poleg njih
15 the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
in Sabejci so padli nadnje ter jih odvlekli proč. Da, z ostrino meča so umorili služabnike in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “The fire of God fell from heaven. It burned and consumed the sheep and the servants, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Ogenj od Boga je padel z neba in sežgal ovce in služabnike, jih použil in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels, and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Kaldejci so postavili tri čete in vpadli na kamele in jih odvedli proč. Da, in z ostrino meča umorili služabnike in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
18 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Tvoji sinovi in tvoje hčere so jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
Glej, iz divjine je prihrumel mogočen veter in udaril štiri vogale hiše in ta je padla na mladeniče in ti so mrtvi. Samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
20 Then Job stood up, tore his robe, and shaved his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped,
Potem je Job vstal, raztrgal svoje ogrinjalo, obril svojo glavo, padel dol na tla in oboževal
21 saying: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
ter rekel: »Nag sem prišel iz maternice svoje matere in nag se bom vrnil tja. Gospod je dal in Gospod je vzel. Blagoslovljeno bodi Gospodovo ime.«
22 In all this, Job did not sin or charge God with wrongdoing.
V vsem tem Job ni grešil niti ni nespametno obdolžil Boga.
