Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Bil je mož v deželi Uc, katerega ime je bilo Job, in ta mož je bil popoln in iskren in nekdo, ki se je bal Boga in se ogibal zla.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Tam se mu je rodilo sedem sinov in tri hčere.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
Njegovo imetje je bilo tudi sedem tisoč ovc, tri tisoč kamel, petsto jarmov volov, petsto oslic in zelo velika družina, tako da je bil ta človek največji izmed vseh mož vzhoda.
4 And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Njegovi sinovi so šli in praznovali v svojih hišah vsak svoj dan. Poslali so in dali poklicati svoje tri sestre, da jedo in pijejo z njimi.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burn offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Bilo je tako, da ko so se dnevi njihovega praznovanja iztekli, je Job poslal, jih posvečeval in vstajal zgodaj zjutraj ter daroval žgalne daritve glede na število njih vseh, kajti Job je rekel: »Morda so moji sinovi grešili in v svojih srcih prekleli Boga.« Tako je Job nenehno delal.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Bil je torej dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se pokažejo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Od kod prihajaš?« Nató je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Od potikanja sem ter tja po zemlji in od hoje gor in dol po njej.«
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil.
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Si kaj preudaril [o] mojem služabniku Jobu, ker na zemlji ni nikogar podobnega njemu; popoln in pošten človek je, ki se boji Boga in se ogiblje zla?«
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Potem je Satan odgovoril Gospodu in rekel: »Mar se Job zastonj boji Boga?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Mar nisi ti naredil ograje okoli njega, okoli njegove hiše in okoli vsega, kar ima na vsaki strani? Blagoslovil si delo njegovih rok in njegovo imetje se je povečalo v deželi.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni vsega, kar ima in preklinjal te bo v tvoj obraz.«
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, vse, kar ima, je v tvoji oblasti, samo nanj ne iztegni svoje roke.« Tako je Satan odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti.
13 And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,
Bil je dan, ko so njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
14 that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
K Jobu je prišel poslanec in rekel: »Voli so orali in osli so se pasli poleg njih
15 and the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
in Sabejci so padli nadnje ter jih odvlekli proč. Da, z ostrino meča so umorili služabnike in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Ogenj od Boga je padel z neba in sežgal ovce in služabnike, jih použil in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Kaldejci so postavili tri čete in vpadli na kamele in jih odvedli proč. Da, in z ostrino meča umorili služabnike in samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
Medtem ko je še govoril, je prišel še drugi in rekel: »Tvoji sinovi in tvoje hčere so jedli in pili vino v hiši njihovega najstarejšega brata.
19 and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Glej, iz divjine je prihrumel mogočen veter in udaril štiri vogale hiše in ta je padla na mladeniče in ti so mrtvi. Samo jaz sam sem pobegnil, da ti povem.«
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
Potem je Job vstal, raztrgal svoje ogrinjalo, obril svojo glavo, padel dol na tla in oboževal
21 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
ter rekel: »Nag sem prišel iz maternice svoje matere in nag se bom vrnil tja. Gospod je dal in Gospod je vzel. Blagoslovljeno bodi Gospodovo ime.«
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God with foolishness.
V vsem tem Job ni grešil niti ni nespametno obdolžil Boga.
