< Job 1 >
1 There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill.
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 And he had seue sonnes, and three daughters.
Tam se mu je rodilo sedem sinov in tri hčere.
3 His substance also was seuen thousande sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundreth yoke of oxen, and fiue hundreth shee asses, and his family was very great, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of 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 And his sonnes went and banketted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent, and called their three sisters to eate and to drinke 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 And when the dayes of their banketting were gone about, Iob sent, and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offred burnt offrings according to the nomber of them all. For Iob thought, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts: thus did Iob euery day.
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 Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them.
Bil je torej dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se pokažejo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi.
7 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
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 And the Lord saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?
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 Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?
Potem je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Mar se Job zastonj boji Boga?
10 Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the 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 stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni vsega, kar ima in preklinjal te bo v tvoj obraz.«
12 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
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 And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
Bil je dan, ko so njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
14 There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places,
K Jobu je prišel poslanec in rekel: »Voli so orali in osli so se pasli poleg njih
15 And the Shabeans came violently, and tooke them: yea, they haue slayne the seruants with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayde, The fire of God is fallen from the heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe and the seruants, and deuoured them: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayd, The Caldeans set on three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue taken them, and haue slayne the seruantes with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 And whiles he was yet speaking, came an other, and sayd, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
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 And behold, there came a great wind from beyonde the wildernesse, and smote the foure corners of the house, which fel vpon the children, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 Iob arose, and rent his garment, and shaued his head, and fel downe vpon the ground, and worshipped,
Potem je Job vstal, raztrgal svoje ogrinjalo, obril svojo glavo, padel dol na tla in oboževal
21 And sayd, Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I returne thither: the Lord hath giuen, and the Lord hath taken it: blessed be the Name of the Lord.
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 this did not Iob sinne, nor charge God foolishly.
V vsem tem Job ni grešil niti ni nespametno obdolžil Boga.
