Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Bijaše èovjek u zemlji Uzu po imenu Jov; i taj èovjek bijaše dobar i pravedan, i bojaše se Boga, i uklanjaše se oda zla.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
I rodi mu se sedam sinova i tri kæeri.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
I imaše stoke sedam tisuæa ovaca i tri tisuæe kamila i pet stotina jarmova volova i pet stotina magarica, i èeljadi veoma mnogo; i bijaše taj èovjek najveæi od svijeh ljudi na istoku.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
I sinovi njegovi sastajahu se i davahu gozbe kod kuæe, svaki svoga dana, i slahu te pozivahu tri sestre svoje da jedu i piju s njima.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
I kad bi se obredili gozbom, pošiljaše Jov i osveæivaše ih, i ustajuæi rano prinošaše žrtve paljenice prema broju svijeh njih; jer govoraše Jov: može biti da su se ogriješili sinovi moji i pohulili na Boga u srcu svom. Tako èinjaše Jov svaki put.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
A jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a meðu njih doðe i Sotona.
7 And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
8 And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil?
I reèe Gospod Sotoni: jesi li vidio slugu mojega Jova? nema onakoga èovjeka na zemlji, dobra i pravedna, koji se boji Boga i uklanja se oda zla.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: eda li se uzalud Jov boji Boga?
10 Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? you have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Nijesi li ga ti ogradio i kuæu njegovu i sve što ima svuda unaokolo? djelo ruku njegovijeh blagoslovio si, i stoka se njegova umnožila na zemlji.
11 But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.
Ali pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se svega što ima, psovaæe te u oèi.
12 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only on himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo, sve što ima neka je u tvojoj ruci; samo na njega ne diži ruke svoje. I otide Sotona od Gospoda.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house:
A jedan dan kad sinovi njegovi i kæeri njegove jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega,
14 And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
Doðe glasnik Jovu i reèe: volovi orahu i magarice pasijahu pokraj njih,
15 And the Sabeans fell on them, and took them away; yes, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
A Saveji udariše i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
Dok ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: oganj Božji spade s neba i spali ovce i momke, i proždrije ih; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell on the camels, and have carried them away, yes, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
Dokle ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: Haldejci u tri èete udariše na kamile i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house:
Dokle ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: sinovi tvoji i kæeri tvoje jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega;
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
A to vjetar velik doðe ispreko pustinje i udari u èetiri ugla od kuæe, te pade na djecu i pogiboše; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped,
Tada usta Jov i razdrije plašt svoj, i ostriže glavu, i pade na zemlju i pokloni se,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
I reèe: go sam izašao iz utrobe matere svoje, go æu se i vratiti onamo. Gospod dade, Gospod uze, da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov, niti reèe bezumlja za Boga.
