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.
Ponovno je bil dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se predstavijo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi, da se predstavi pred Gospodom.
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.”
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Od kod prihajaš?« Satan je Gospodu odgovoril in rekel: »Od potikanja sem ter tja po zemlji in od hoje gor in dol po njej.«
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!”
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Si preudaril [o] mojem služabniku Jobu, da tam ni nikogar podobnega njemu na zemlji? Popoln in iskren človek je, nekdo, ki se boji Boga in se ogiblje zla. Še vedno se trdno drži svoje neokrnjenosti, čeprav me spodbujaš zoper njega, da bi ga uničil brez razloga.«
4 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
Satan je Gospodu odgovoril in rekel: »Kožo za kožo, da, vse, kar človek ima, bo dal za svoje življenje.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni njegove kosti in njegovega mesa in preklel te bo v tvoj obraz.«
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, on je v tvoji roki, toda ohrani njegovo življenje.«
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.
Tako je Satan odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in Joba udaril s hudimi tvori od podplata njegovega stopala do njegovega temena.
8 And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Ta si je vzel črepinjo, se strgal z njo in se usedel med pepel.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Potem mu je njegova žena rekla: »Mar še vedno ohranjaš svojo neokrnjenost? Prekolni Boga in 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.
Toda rekel ji je: »Govoriš kot govori ena izmed nespametnih žensk. Kaj? Dobro smo sprejeli iz Božje roke, pa ne bi sprejeli hudega?« V vsem tem Job s svojimi ustnicami ni grešil.
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;
Torej ko so Jobovi trije prijatelji slišali o vsem tem zlu, ki je prišlo nadenj, so prišli, vsak iz svojega lastnega kraja: Elifáz Temánec, Bildád Suhéjec in Cofár Naámčan, kajti skupaj so se dogovorili, da pridejo in da žalujejo z njim in da ga tolažijo.
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.
Ko pa so od daleč povzdignili svoje oči in ga niso spoznali, so povzdignili svoj glas ter zajokali. Vsak izmed njih je pretrgal svoje ogrinjalo in proti nebu so potresli prah na svoje glave.
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.
Tako so sedeli z njim na tleh sedem dni in sedem noči in nihče mu ni spregovoril niti besede, kajti videli so, da je bila njegova žalost zelo velika.
