Job 2
1 And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.
Opet jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a doðe i Sotona meðu njih da stane pred Gospodom.
2 And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence comest thou? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas thou has told [me] to destroy his substance without cause?
I reèe Gospod Sotoni: jesi li vidio slugu mojega Jova? nema onakoga èovjeka na zemlji, dobra i pravedna, koji se boji Boga i uklanja se oda zla, i još se drži dobrote svoje, premda si me nagovorio, te ga upropastih ni za što.
4 And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: koža za kožu, i sve što èovjek ima daæe za dušu svoju.
5 Nay, but put forth thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless thee to [thy] face.
Nego pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se kostiju njegovijeh i mesa njegova, psovaæe te u oèi.
6 And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to thee; only save his life.
A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo ti ga u ruke; ali mu dušu èuvaj.
7 So the devil went out from the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
I Sotona otide od Gospoda, i udari Jova zlijem prištem od pete do tjemena,
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
Te on uze crijep pa se strugaše, i sjeðaše u pepelu.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
I reèe mu žena: hoæeš li se još držati dobrote svoje? blagoslovi Boga, pa umri.
10 But he looked on her, and said to her, Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
A on joj reèe: govoriš kao luda žena; dobro smo primali od Boga, a zla zar neæemo primati? Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov usnama svojim.
11 Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
A tri prijatelja Jovova èuše za sve zlo koje ga zadesi, i doðoše svaki iz svojega mjesta, Elifas Temanac i Vildad Sušanin i Sofar Namaæanin, dogovorivši se da doðu da ga požale i potješe.
12 And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and rent every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
I podigavši oèi svoje izdaleka ne poznaše ga; tada podigoše glas svoj i stadoše plakati i razdriješe svaki svoj plašt i posuše se prahom po glavi bacajuæi ga u nebo.
13 and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
I sjeðahu kod njega na zemlji sedam dana i sedam noæi, i nijedan mu ne progovori rijeèi, jer viðahu da je bol vrlo velik.
