Job 1
1 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.
Bijaše èovjek u zemlji Uzu po imenu Jov; i taj èovjek bijaše dobar i pravedan, i bojaše se Boga, i uklanjaše se oda zla.
2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
I rodi mu se sedam sinova i tri kæeri.
3 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.
I imaše stoke sedam tisuæa ovaca i tri tisuæe kamila i pet stotina jarmova volova i pet stotina magarica, i èeljadi veoma mnogo; i bijaše taj èovjek najveæi od svijeh ljudi na istoku.
4 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.
I sinovi njegovi sastajahu se i davahu gozbe kod kuæe, svaki svoga dana, i slahu te pozivahu tri sestre svoje da jedu i piju s njima.
5 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.
I kad bi se obredili gozbom, pošiljaše Jov i osveæivaše ih, i ustajuæi rano prinošaše žrtve paljenice prema broju svijeh njih; jer govoraše Jov: može biti da su se ogriješili sinovi moji i pohulili na Boga u srcu svom. Tako èinjaše Jov svaki put.
6 But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
A jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a meðu njih doðe i Sotona.
7 The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
8 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.”
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.
9 Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: eda li se uzalud Jov boji Boga?
10 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?
Nijesi li ga ti ogradio i kuæu njegovu i sve što ima svuda unaokolo? djelo ruku njegovijeh blagoslovio si, i stoka se njegova umnožila na zemlji.
11 But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
Ali pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se svega što ima, psovaæe te u oèi.
12 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.
A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo, sve što ima neka je u tvojoj ruci; samo na njega ne diži ruke svoje. I otide Sotona od Gospoda.
13 So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
A jedan dan kad sinovi njegovi i kæeri njegove jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega,
14 a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
Doðe glasnik Jovu i reèe: volovi orahu i magarice pasijahu pokraj njih,
15 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.”
A Saveji udariše i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
16 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.”
Dok ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: oganj Božji spade s neba i spali ovce i momke, i proždrije ih; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
17 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.”
Dokle ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: Haldejci u tri èete udariše na kamile i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
18 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,
Dokle ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: sinovi tvoji i kæeri tvoje jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega;
19 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.”
A to vjetar velik doðe ispreko pustinje i udari u èetiri ugla od kuæe, te pade na djecu i pogiboše; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
20 Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
Tada usta Jov i razdrije plašt svoj, i ostriže glavu, i pade na zemlju i pokloni se,
21 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.”
I reèe: go sam izašao iz utrobe matere svoje, go æu se i vratiti onamo. Gospod dade, Gospod uze, da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje.
22 In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov, niti reèe bezumlja za Boga.
