< Job 2 >
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Opet jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a doðe i Sotona meðu njih da stane pred Gospodom.
2 And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
3 And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move me against him, to destroy him without cause.
I reèe Gospod Sotoni: jesi li vidio slugu mojega Jova? nema onakoga èovjeka na zemlji, dobra i pravedna, koji se boji Boga i uklanja se oda zla, i još se drži dobrote svoje, premda si me nagovorio, te ga upropastih ni za što.
4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, even, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: koža za kožu, i sve što èovjek ima daæe za dušu svoju.
5 But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Nego pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se kostiju njegovijeh i mesa njegova, psovaæe te u oèi.
6 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but save his life.
A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo ti ga u ruke; ali mu dušu èuvaj.
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
I Sotona otide od Gospoda, i udari Jova zlijem prištem od pete do tjemena,
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
Te on uze crijep pa se strugaše, i sjeðaše u pepelu.
9 Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thy integrity? curse God, and die.
I reèe mu žena: hoæeš li se još držati dobrote svoje? blagoslovi Boga, pa umri.
10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
A on joj reèe: govoriš kao luda žena; dobro smo primali od Boga, a zla zar neæemo primati? Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov usnama svojim.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
A tri prijatelja Jovova èuše za sve zlo koje ga zadesi, i doðoše svaki iz svojega mjesta, Elifas Temanac i Vildad Sušanin i Sofar Namaæanin, dogovorivši se da doðu da ga požale i potješe.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they raised their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
I podigavši oèi svoje izdaleka ne poznaše ga; tada podigoše glas svoj i stadoše plakati i razdriješe svaki svoj plašt i posuše se prahom po glavi bacajuæi ga u nebo.
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
I sjeðahu kod njega na zemlji sedam dana i sedam noæi, i nijedan mu ne progovori rijeèi, jer viðahu da je bol vrlo velik.
