< Job 1 >

1 There has been a man in the land of Uz—his name Job—and that man has been perfect and upright—both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.
Viens vīrs bija Uca zemē, Ījabs vārdā, un tas bija sirdsskaidrs un taisns un dievbijīgs un sargājās no ļauna.
2 And seven sons and three daughters are borne to him,
Un tam dzima septiņi dēli un trīs meitas.
3 and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very abundant service; and that man is greater than any of the sons of the east.
Un viņam lopu bija septiņtūkstoš avis un trīstūkstoš kamieļi un piecsimt jūgi vēršu un piecsimt ēzeļu mātes un ļoti liela saime; un viņš bija lielāks nekā visi austruma ļaudis.
4 And his sons have gone and made a banquet—the house of each [in] his day—and have sent and called to their three sisters to eat and to drink with them;
Un viņa dēli gāja un taisīja dzīres ikviena namā savā dienā, un sūtīja un aicināja savas trīs māsas, līdz ar tiem ēst un dzert.
5 and it comes to pass, when they have gone around the days of the banquet, that Job sends and sanctifies them, and has risen early in the morning, and caused burnt-offerings to ascend—the number of them all—for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.” Thus Job does all the days.
Kad nu tās dzīru dienas bija apkārt, tad Ījabs sūtīja (atgādinājumu šķīstīties) un tos svētīja un cēlās no rīta agri un upurēja dedzināmos upurus pēc visu viņu skaita, jo Ījabs sacīja: Varbūt, ka mani dēli apgrēkojušies un Dievam savā sirdī atsacījuši. Tā Ījabs darīja ikdienas.
6 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst.
Un notikās kādā dienā, kad Dieva bērni nāca stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, tad sātans arīdzan atnāca viņu starpā.
7 And YHWH says to Satan, “Where do you come from?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on it.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: no kurienes tu nāci? Un sātans Tam Kungam atbildēja un sacīja: esmu gājis apkārt pa pasauli un to esmu izstaigājis.
8 And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from evil?”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: vai tu neesi licis vērā Manu kalpu Ījabu? Jo neviena tāda nav pasaulē kā viņš, sirdsskaidrs, taisns un dievbijīgs vīrs, un kas tā sargās no ļauna.
9 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “Is Job fearing God for nothing?
Tad sātans atbildēja Tam Kungam un sacīja: vai tad Ījabs velti Dievu bīstas?
10 Have You not made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he has—all around?
Vai Tu viņu un viņa namu un visu, kas tam pieder, neesi visapkārt aptaisījis tā kā ar sētu? Viņa roku darbu Tu esi svētījis, un viņa lopi ir vairojušies zemē.
11 You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance has spread in the land, and yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike against anything that he has—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Bet nu izstiep jel Savu roku un aizskar, kas tam pieder, tiešām viņš Tev vaigā atsacīsies.
12 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, all that he has [is] in your hand, only do not put forth your hand to him.” And Satan goes out from the presence of YHWH.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: redzi, viss, kas tam pieder, lai ir tavā rokā, tikai pie viņa paša nepieliec savu roku. Un sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga.
13 And the day is, that his sons and his daughters are eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Kad nu kādā dienā viņa dēli un meitas ēda un vīnu dzēra sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā,
14 And a messenger has come to Job and says, “The oxen have been plowing, and the female donkeys feeding by their sides,
Tad vēstnesis nāca pie Ījaba un sacīja: vērši ara un ēzeļu mātes pie tiem bija klāt ganos.
15 and Sheba falls, and takes them, and they have struck the young men by the mouth of the sword, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to you.”
Tad Arābi ielauzās un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
16 While this [one] is speaking another has also come and says, “Fire of God has fallen from the heavens, and burns among the flock, and among the young men, and consumes them, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to you.”
Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: Dieva uguns krita no debess un iededzināja avis un puišus un tos sadedzināja pavisam, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt,
17 While this [one] is speaking another also has come and says, “Chaldeans made three heads, and rush on the camels, and take them, and they have struck the young men by the mouth of the sword, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to you.”
Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: Kaldeji taisījās trijos pulkos un uzbruka kamieļiem un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
18 While this [one] is speaking another has also come and says, “Your sons and your daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: tavi dēli un tavas meitas ēda un dzēra vīnu sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā.
19 And behold, a great wind has come from over the wilderness, and strikes against the four corners of the house, and it falls on the young men, and they are dead, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to you.”
Un redzi, briesmīga vētra nāca no tuksneša puses un aizņēma tos četrus nama stūrus, ka tas sagruva uz tiem jaunekļiem, un tie nomira, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
20 And Job rises, and tears his robe, and shaves his head, and falls to the earth, and pays respect,
Tad Ījabs cēlās un saplēsa savus svārkus un apcirpa savu galvu un metās pie zemes un pielūdza
21 and he says, “I came forth naked from the womb of my mother, And naked I return there. YHWH has given and YHWH has taken; Let the Name of YHWH be blessed.”
Un sacīja: kails esmu nācis no savas mātes miesām un kails atkal aiziešu. Tas Kungs ir devis, Tas Kungs ir ņēmis, Tā Kunga vārds lai ir slavēts!
22 In all this Job has not sinned, nor given folly to God.
Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās un neturējās aplam pret Dievu.
