Job 2
1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
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 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on 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 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
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 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Satan je Gospodu odgovoril in rekel: »Kožo za kožo, da, vse, kar človek ima, bo dal za svoje življenje.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse 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 The LORD said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, on je v tvoji roki, toda ohrani njegovo življenje.«
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
Tako je Satan odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in Joba udaril s hudimi tvori od podplata njegovega stopala do njegovega temena.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
Ta si je vzel črepinjo, se strgal z njo in se usedel med pepel.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
Potem mu je njegova žena rekla: »Mar še vedno ohranjaš svojo neokrnjenost? Prekolni Boga in umri.«
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin 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 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with 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 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
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 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was 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.
