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.
Беше човек у земљи Узу по имену Јов; и тај човек беше добар и праведан, и бојаше се Бога, и уклањаше се ода зла.
2 And seven sons and three daughters are borne to him,
И роди му се седам синова и три кћери.
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.
И имаше стоке седам хиљада оваца и три хиљада камила и пет стотина јармова волова и пет стотина магарица, и чељади веома много; и беше тај човек највећи од свих људи на истоку.
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;
И синови његови састајаху се и даваху гозбе код куће, сваки свог дана, и слаху те позиваху три сестре своје да једу и пију с њима.
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.
И кад би се обредили гозбом, пошиљаше Јов и освећиваше их, и устајући рано приношаше жртве паљенице према броју свих њих; јер говораше Јов: Може бити да су се огрешили синови моји и похулили на Бога у срцу свом. Тако чињаше Јов сваки пут.
6 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst.
А један дан дођоше синови Божји да стану пред Господом, а међу њих дође и Сотона.
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.”
И Господ рече Сотони: Од куда идеш? А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Проходих земљу и обилазих.
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?”
И рече Господ Сотони: Јеси ли видео слугу мог Јова? Нема онаквог човека на земљи, доброг и праведног, који се боји Бога и уклања се ода зла.
9 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “Is Job fearing God for nothing?
А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Еда ли се узалуд Јов боји Бога?
10 Have You not made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he has—all around?
Ниси ли га Ти оградио и кућу његову и све што има свуда унаоколо? Дело руку његових благословио си, и стока се његова умножила на земљи.
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!”
Али пружи руку своју и дотакни се свега што има, псоваће те у очи.
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.
А Господ рече Сотони: Ево, све што има нека је у твојој руци; само на њега не дижи руке своје. И отиде Сотона од Господа.
13 And the day is, that his sons and his daughters are eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
А један дан кад синови његови и кћери његове јеђаху и пијаху вино у кући брата свог најстаријег,
14 And a messenger has come to Job and says, “The oxen have been plowing, and the female donkeys feeding by their sides,
Дође гласник Јову и рече: Волови ораху и магарице пасаху покрај њих,
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.”
А Савеји ударише и отеше их, и побише момке оштрим мачем; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
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.”
Док овај још говораше, дође други и рече: Огањ Божји спаде с неба и спали овце и момке, и прождре их; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
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.”
Докле овај још говораше, дође други и рече: Халдејци у три чете ударише на камиле и отеше их, и побише момке оштрим мачем; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
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.
Докле овај још говораше, дође други и рече: Синови твоји и кћери твоје јеђаху и пијаху вино у кући брата свог најстаријег;
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.”
А то ветар велик дође испреко пустиње и удари у четири угла од куће, те паде на децу и погибоше; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
20 And Job rises, and tears his robe, and shaves his head, and falls to the earth, and pays respect,
Тада уста Јов и раздре плашт свој, и остриже главу, и паде на земљу и поклони се,
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.”
И рече: Го сам изашао из утробе матере своје, го ћу се и вратити онамо. Господ даде, Господ узе, да је благословено име Господње.
22 In all this Job has not sinned, nor given folly to God.
Уза све то не сагреши Јов, нити рече безумља за Бога.
