Job 2
1 And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
Опет један дан дођоше синови Божји да стану пред Господом, а дође и Сотона међу њих да стане пред Господом.
2 That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it.
И Господ рече Сотони: Од куда идеш? А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Проходих земљу и обилазих.
3 And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause.
И рече Господ Сотони: Јеси ли видео слугу мог Јова? Нема онаквог човека на земљи, доброг и праведног, који се боји Бога и уклања се ода зла, и још се држи доброте своје, премда си ме наговорио, те га упропастих низашта.
4 And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will give for his life:
А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Кожа за кожу, и све што човек има даће за душу своју.
5 But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless thee to thy face.
Него пружи руку своју и дотакни се костију његових и меса његовог, псоваће те у очи.
6 And the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save his life.
А Господ рече Сотони: Ево ти га у руке; али му душу чувај.
7 So Satan went forth from the presence Of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:
И сотона отиде од Господа, и удари Јова злим приштем од пете до темена,
8 And he took a potsherd and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
Те он узе цреп па се стругаше, и сеђаше у пепелу.
9 And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.
И рече му жена: Хоћеш ли се још држати доброте своје? Благослови Бога, па умри.
10 And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips.
А он јој рече: Говориш као луда жена; добро смо примали од Бога, а зла зар нећемо примати? Уза све то не сагреши Јов уснама својим.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him.
А три пријатеља Јовова чуше за све зло које га задеси, и дођоше сваки из свог места, Елифас Теманац и Вилдад Сушанин и Софар Намаћанин, договорише се да дођу да га пожале и потеше.
12 And when they had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven.
И подигавши очи своје издалека не познаше га; тада подигоше глас свој и стадоше плакати и раздреше сваки свој плашт и посуше се прахом по глави бацајући га у небо.
13 And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great.
И сеђаху код њега на земљи седам дана и седам ноћи, и ниједан му не проговори речи, јер виђаху да је бол врло велик.
