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.
Bijaše nekoć u zemlji Usu čovjek po imenu Job. Bio je to čovjek neporočan i pravedan: bojao se Boga i klonio zla.
2 And he had seue sonnes, and three daughters.
Rodilo mu se sedam sinova i tri kćeri.
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.
Imao je sedam tisuća ovaca, tri tisuće deva, pet stotina jarmova goveda, pet stotina magarica i veoma mnogo služinčadi. Čovjek taj bijaše najugledniji među svim istočnjacima.
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.
Sinovi su njegovi običavali naizmjence priređivati gozbe kod jednoga od njih, svaki u svoj dan, te su pozivali svoje tri sestre da jedu i piju s njima.
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.
A kad bi se izredali s gozbama, Job bi ih pozvao na očišćenje. Uranio bi izjutra i prinio paljenice za svakog od njih; mislio je: “Tko zna nisu li mi sinovi griješili i u srcu Boga hulili!” Tako je Job svagda činio.
6 Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them.
Jednoga dana dođu sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
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.
Jahve tad upita Satana: “Odakle dolaziš?” - “Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je”, odgovori on.
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?
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!”
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?
A Satan odgovori Jahvi: “Zar se Job uzalud Boga boji?
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.
Zar nisi ogradio njega, kuću mu i sav posjed njegov? Blagoslovio si djelo njegovih ruku, stoka mu se namnožila po zemlji.
11 But stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
Ali pruži jednom ruku i dirni mu u dobra: u lice će te prokleti!”
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.
“Neka ti bude! - reče Jahve Satanu. - Sa svime što ima radi što ti drago; samo ruku svoju na nj ne diži.” I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina.
13 And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
Jednoga dana, dok su Jobovi sinovi i kćeri jeli i pili vino u kući najstarijeg brata,
14 There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places,
dođe glasnik k Jobu i reče: “Tvoji su volovi orali a magarice pokraj njih pasle,
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.
kad iznenada Sabejci navališe na njih i oteše ih, pobivši momke oštrim mačem. Jedini ja utekoh da ti ovo javim.”
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.
Dok je on još to govorio, dođe drugi i reče: “Oganj Božji udari s neba, spali tvoje ovce i pastire te ih proždrije. Jedini ja utekoh da ti javim.”
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.
Dok je još govorio, dođe treći i reče: “Kaldejci navališe sa tri čete na tvoje deve i oteše ih, pobivši momke oštrim mačem. Jedini ja utekoh da ti javim.”
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,
Dok je ovaj još govorio, dođe četvrti i reče: “Tvoji su sinovi i kćeri jeli i pili vino u kući najstarijeg 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.
I gle, vjetar se silan diže iz pustinje, udari na sva četiri ugla kuće, obori je na djecu te ona zaglaviše. Jedini ja utekoh da ti javim.”
20 Then Iob arose, and rent his garment, and shaued his head, and fel downe vpon the ground, and worshipped,
Tad ustade Job, razdrije haljinu na sebi, obrija glavu pa ničice pade na zemlju, pokloni se
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.
i reče: “Go iziđoh iz krila majčina, go ću se onamo i vratiti. Jahve dao, Jahve oduzeo! Blagoslovljeno ime Jahvino!”
22 In all this did not Iob sinne, nor charge God foolishly.
Uza sve to, nije sagriješio Job niti je kakvu ludost protiv Boga izustio.
