Job 2
1 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Бысть же яко день сей, и приидоша Ангели Божии предстати пред Господем, и диавол прииде посреде их предстати пред Господем.
2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
И рече Господь диаволу: откуду ты грядеши? Тогда рече диавол пред Господем: прошед поднебесную и обшед всю землю, приидох.
3 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up 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 Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
Отвещав же диавол Господеви, рече: кожу за кожу, и вся, елика имать человек, даст за душу свою:
5 but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
обаче посли руку Твою и коснися костем его и плоти его, аще не в лице Тя благословит.
6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
Рече же Господь диаволу: се, предаю ти его, токмо душу его соблюди.
7 And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Изыде же диавол от лица Господня и порази Иова гноем лютым от ногу даже до главы.
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes.
И взя (Иов) чреп, да острогает гной свой, и той седяше на гноищи вне града.
9 And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.
но рцы глагол некий ко Господу и умри.
10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
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 three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
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 when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
Увидевше же его издалеча, не познаша, и возопивше гласом велиим восплакашася, растерзавше кийждо одежду свою и посыпавше перстию главы своя:
13 And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that [his] anguish 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.
