Job 2
1 On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
Jednoga dana dođu opet sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
2 Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
Jahve tad upita Satana: “Odakle dolaziš?” - “Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je”, odgovori on.
3 Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
Nato će Jahve: “Nisi li zapazio slugu moga Joba? Njemu na zemlji nema ravna. Čovjek je to neporočan i pravedan: boji se Boga i kloni zla! On je još postojan u neporočnosti, pa si me uzalud izazvao da ga upropastim.”
4 Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
A Satan odvrati: “Koža za kožu! Sve što čovjek ima dat će za život.
5 But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
Ali pruži ruku, dotakni se kosti njegove i mesa: u lice će te prokleti!”
6 Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
“Neka ti bude! - reče Jahve Satanu. - U tvojoj je ruci; život mu samo sačuvaj!”
7 So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina. On udari Joba zlim prištem od tabana do tjemena.
8 Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
Job uze crijep da se struže njime i sjede u pepeo.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”
Tada mu njegova žena reče: “Zar si još postojan u neporočnosti? Prokuni Boga i umri!”
10 But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
Job joj odgovori: “Brbljaš kao luđakinja! Kad od Boga primamo dobro, zar da onda i zlo ne primimo?” U svemu tome Job nije sagriješio svojim usnama.
11 Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
U to čuše tri Jobova prijatelja za sve nevolje koje ga zadesiše; svaki se zaputi iz svoga kraja - Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Šuaha, Sofar iz Naama - i odlučiše da odu zajedno ožaliti ga i utješiti.
12 When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
A kad su izdaleka upravili oči na njega, nisu ga prepoznali. Tad udariše u plač; svaki razdrije svoju haljinu i prosu prah po glavi.
13 Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
Potom sjedoše kraj njega na zemlju i ostadoše tako sedam dana i sedam noći. Nijedan mu ne progovori ni riječi, jer vidješe da je velika njegova bol.
