Job 1
1 Once there was a man called Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of integrity who did what was right. He respected God and avoided evil.
Bil je mož v deželi Uc, katerega ime je bilo Job, in ta mož je bil popoln in iskren in nekdo, ki se je bal Boga in se ogibal zla.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters.
Tam se mu je rodilo sedem sinov in tri hčere.
3 He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred teams of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, as well as many servants. He was more wealthy than anyone else in the East.
Njegovo imetje je bilo tudi sedem tisoč ovc, tri tisoč kamel, petsto jarmov volov, petsto oslic in zelo velika družina, tako da je bil ta človek največji izmed vseh mož vzhoda.
4 Job's sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes on their specific day, also inviting their sisters to come and eat and drink with them.
Njegovi sinovi so šli in praznovali v svojih hišah vsak svoj dan. Poslali so in dali poklicati svoje tri sestre, da jedo in pijejo z njimi.
5 When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and purify them by getting up early in the morning to offer a burnt offering for each of them. He was concerned, thinking to himself, “Maybe my children have sinned in some way and have unintentionally offended God.” This is what Job always did.
Bilo je tako, da ko so se dnevi njihovega praznovanja iztekli, je Job poslal, jih posvečeval in vstajal zgodaj zjutraj ter daroval žgalne daritve glede na število njih vseh, kajti Job je rekel: »Morda so moji sinovi grešili in v svojih srcih prekleli Boga.« Tako je Job nenehno delal.
6 One day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan came with them.
Bil je torej dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se pokažejo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi.
7 The Lord asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Od kod prihajaš?« Nató je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Od potikanja sem ter tja po zemlji in od hoje gor in dol po njej.«
8 “Have you paid attention to Job, my servant?” asked the Lord. “There's no one like him on earth, a man of integrity who does what is right, who respects God and avoids evil.”
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Si kaj preudaril [o] mojem služabniku Jobu, ker na zemlji ni nikogar podobnega njemu; popoln in pošten človek je, ki se boji Boga in se ogiblje zla?«
9 “Is it for nothing that Job respects God?” Satan answered. “You've placed a protective fence around him and his family—in fact around everything he has.
Potem je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Mar se Job zastonj boji Boga?
10 You have blessed everything he does. His flocks and herds have increased so much they fill the whole land!
Mar nisi ti naredil ograje okoli njega, okoli njegove hiše in okoli vsega, kar ima na vsaki strani? Blagoslovil si delo njegovih rok in njegovo imetje se je povečalo v deželi.
11 But if you reach out and take everything he has, he will definitely curse you to your face.”
Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni vsega, kar ima in preklinjal te bo v tvoj obraz.«
12 The Lord told Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to everything he has, but don't hurt him physically.” Then Satan left the Lord's presence.
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, vse, kar ima, je v tvoji oblasti, samo nanj ne iztegni svoje roke.« Tako je Satan odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti.
13 The day came when while Job's sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Bil je dan, ko so njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
14 a messenger came to Job and told him, “As the oxen were plowing and female donkeys were grazing nearby,
K Jobu je prišel poslanec in rekel: »Voli so orali in osli so se pasli poleg njih
15 the Sabeans attacked and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
in Sabejci so padli nadnje ter jih odvlekli proč. Da, z ostrino meča so umorili služabnike in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
16 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and set the sheep and shepherds on fire and burned them up. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Ogenj od Boga je padel z neba in sežgal ovce in služabnike, jih použil in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
17 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Three armed companies of Chaldeans attacked the camels and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Kaldejci so postavili tri čete in vpadli na kamele in jih odvedli proč. Da, in z ostrino meča umorili služabnike in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
18 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Tvoji sinovi in tvoje hčere so jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
19 when all of a sudden a tremendous wind came in from the desert. It hit the house on all four sides so that it collapsed on them and they died. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
Glej, iz divjine je prihrumel mogočen veter in udaril štiri vogale hiše in ta je padla na mladeniče in ti so mrtvi. Samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
20 Then Job stood up and tore his robe. Then cut off his hair and fell to the ground in worship.
Potem je Job vstal, raztrgal svoje ogrinjalo, obril svojo glavo, padel dol na tla in oboževal
21 “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I shall be naked when I leave,” he said. “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. May the Lord's name be honored.”
ter rekel: »Nag sem prišel iz maternice svoje matere in nag se bom vrnil tja. Gospod je dal in Gospod je vzel. Blagoslovljeno bodi Gospodovo ime.«
22 In all of this Job did not sin, nor blame God.
V vsem tem Job ni grešil niti ni nespametno obdolžil Boga.
