Job 2
1 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
Jednoga dana dođu opet sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
2 And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
Jahve tad upita Satana: “Odakle dolaziš?” - “Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je”, odgovori on.
3 And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
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 answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
A Satan odvrati: “Koža za kožu! Sve što čovjek ima dat će za život.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Ali pruži ruku, dotakni se kosti njegove i mesa: u lice će te prokleti!”
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
“Neka ti bude! - reče Jahve Satanu. - U tvojoj je ruci; život mu samo sačuvaj!”
7 And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina. On udari Joba zlim prištem od tabana do tjemena.
8 And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Job uze crijep da se struže njime i sjede u pepeo.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Tada mu njegova žena reče: “Zar si još postojan u neporočnosti? Prokuni Boga i umri!”
10 And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
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 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan 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 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
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 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been 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.
