Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of 'Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing 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 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Tam se mu je rodilo sedem sinov in tri hčere.
3 And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons 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 sons used to go and prepare a feast in the house of every one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to 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 And it happened, when the days of the feast were gone round, that Job sent and sanctified them, and he then rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of all of them; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their heart. In this manner used Job to do all the time.
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 Now it happened on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them.
Bil je torej dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se pokažejo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi.
7 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through 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 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job; for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth 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 Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
Potem je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Mar se Job zastonj boji Boga?
10 Behold, thou hast indeed placed a fence about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side: the work of his hands hast thou blessed, and his cattle are far spread out 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 only forth thy hand and touch all that he hath, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni vsega, kar ima in preklinjal te bo v tvoj obraz.«
12 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, all that is his be in thy power; only against himself shalt thou not stretch forth thy hand. The Accuser went thereupon away 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 it happened on a certain day, when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
Bil je dan, ko so njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
14 That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding beside them:
K Jobu je prišel poslanec in rekel: »Voli so orali in osli so se pasli poleg njih
15 When the Sabeans made an incursion, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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 This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, A fire of God fell from heaven, and burnt among the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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 This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, The Chaldeans posted themselves in three divisions, and made an inroad against the camels, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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 While this one was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born 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, behold, a violent wind came from the direction of the wilderness, and struck against the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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 arose Job, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and prostrated himself.
Potem je Job vstal, raztrgal svoje ogrinjalo, obril svojo glavo, padel dol na tla in oboževal
21 And he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; may the name of the Lord be blessed.
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 With all this did Job not sin, and attributed no injustice to God.
V vsem tem Job ni grešil niti ni nespametno obdolžil Boga.
