Job 2
1 And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
Бысть же яко день сей, и приидоша Ангели Божии предстати пред Господем, и диавол прииде посреде их предстати пред Господем.
2 And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
И рече Господь диаволу: откуду ты грядеши? Тогда рече диавол пред Господем: прошед поднебесную и обшед всю землю, приидох.
3 And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.
И рече Господь ко диаволу: внял ли еси убо (мыслию твоею) рабу Моему Иову? Яко несть такова от сущих на земли: человек незлобив, истинен, непорочен, богочестив, удаляяся от всякаго зла, еще же придержится незлобия: ты же рекл еси имения его погубити вотще.
4 And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.
Отвещав же диавол Господеви, рече: кожу за кожу, и вся, елика имать человек, даст за душу свою:
5 But now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing you to your face.
обаче посли руку Твою и коснися костем его и плоти его, аще не в лице Тя благословит.
6 And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.
Рече же Господь диаволу: се, предаю ти его, токмо душу его соблюди.
7 And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.
Изыде же диавол от лица Господня и порази Иова гноем лютым от ногу даже до главы.
8 And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.
И взя (Иов) чреп, да острогает гной свой, и той седяше на гноищи вне града.
9 And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.
но рцы глагол некий ко Господу и умри.
10 And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.
Он же воззрев рече к ней: вскую яко едина от безумных жен возглаголала еси? Аще благая прияхом от руки Господни, злых ли не стерпим? Во всех сих приключившихся ему, ничимже согреши Иов устнама пред Богом (и не даде безумия Богу).
11 And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.
Услышавше же трие друзие его вся злая нашедшая нань, приидоша кийждо от своея страны к нему: Елифаз Феманский царь, Валдад Савхейский властитель, Софар Минейский царь: и приидоша к нему единодушно утешити и посетити его.
12 And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.
Увидевше же его издалеча, не познаша, и возопивше гласом велиим восплакашася, растерзавше кийждо одежду свою и посыпавше перстию главы своя:
13 And they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
седеша при нем седмь дний и седмь нощей, и никтоже от них возглагола к нему словесе: видяху бо язву люту сущу и велику зело.
