Job 2
1 And on a day the children of God came and stood before the Lord, and Satan came also among them, and stoode before the Lord.
Jednoga dana dođu opet sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
2 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and sayd, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
Jahve tad upita Satana: “Odakle dolaziš?” - “Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je”, odgovori on.
3 And the Lord sayd 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? for yet he continueth in his vprightnesse, although thou mouedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Nato će Jahve: “Nisi li zapazio slugu moga Joba? Njemu na zemlji nema ravna. Čovjek je to neporočan i pravedan: boji se Boga i kloni zla! On je još postojan u neporočnosti, pa si me uzalud izazvao da ga upropastim.”
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue for his life.
A Satan odvrati: “Koža za kožu! Sve što čovjek ima dat će za život.
5 But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
Ali pruži ruku, dotakni se kosti njegove i mesa: u lice će te prokleti!”
6 Then the Lord said vnto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but saue his life.
“Neka ti bude! - reče Jahve Satanu. - U tvojoj je ruci; život mu samo sačuvaj!”
7 So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore boyles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.
I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina. On udari Joba zlim prištem od tabana do tjemena.
8 And he tooke a potsharde to scrape him, and he sate downe among the ashes.
Job uze crijep da se struže njime i sjede u pepeo.
9 Then said his wife vnto him, Doest thou continue yet in thine vprightnes? Blaspheme God, and dye.
Tada mu njegova žena reče: “Zar si još postojan u neporočnosti? Prokuni Boga i umri!”
10 But he said vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: what? shall we receiue good at the hande of God, and not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.
Job joj odgovori: “Brbljaš kao luđakinja! Kad od Boga primamo dobro, zar da onda i zlo ne primimo?” U svemu tome Job nije sagriješio svojim usnama.
11 Nowe when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place, to wit, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they were agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort him.
U to čuše tri Jobova prijatelja za sve nevolje koje ga zadesiše; svaki se zaputi iz svoga kraja - Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Šuaha, Sofar iz Naama - i odlučiše da odu zajedno ožaliti ga i utješiti.
12 So when they lift vp their eyes a farre off, they knewe him not: therefore they lift vp their voyces and wept, and euery one of them rent his garment, and sprinkled dust vpon their heads toward the heauen.
A kad su izdaleka upravili oči na njega, nisu ga prepoznali. Tad udariše u plač; svaki razdrije svoju haljinu i prosu prah po glavi.
13 So they sate by him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a worde vnto him: for they sawe, that the griefe was very great.
Potom sjedoše kraj njega na zemlju i ostadoše tako sedam dana i sedam noći. Nijedan mu ne progovori ni riječi, jer vidješe da je velika njegova bol.
