Job 2
1 Forsothe it was doon, whanne in sum dai the sones of God `weren comun, and stoden bifor the Lord, and Sathan `was comun among hem, and stood in his siyt,
Jednoga dana dođu opet sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
2 that the Lord seide to Sathan, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, and seide, Y haue cumpassid the erthe, `and Y haue go thury it.
Jahve tad upita Satana: “Odakle dolaziš?” - “Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je”, odgovori on.
3 And the Lord seide to Sathan, Whethir thou hast biholde my seruaunt Joob, that noon in erthe is lijk hym; he is a symple man, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awei fro yuel, and yit holdynge innocence? `But thou hast moued me ayens him, that `Y schulde turmente hym in veyn.
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 To whom Sathan answeride, and seide, `A man schal yyue skyn for skyn, and alle thingis that he hath for his lijf;
A Satan odvrati: “Koža za kožu! Sve što čovjek ima dat će za život.
5 `ellis sende thin hond, and touche his boon and fleisch, and thanne thou schalt se, that he schal curse thee in the face.
Ali pruži ruku, dotakni se kosti njegove i mesa: u lice će te prokleti!”
6 Therfor the Lord seide to Sathan, Lo! he is in `thin hond; netheles kepe thou his lijf.
“Neka ti bude! - reče Jahve Satanu. - U tvojoj je ruci; život mu samo sačuvaj!”
7 Therfor Sathan yede out fro the face of the Lord, and smoot Joob with `a ful wickid botche fro the sole of the foot `til to his top;
I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina. On udari Joba zlim prištem od tabana do tjemena.
8 which Joob schauyde the quytere with a schelle, `and sat in the dunghil.
Job uze crijep da se struže njime i sjede u pepeo.
9 Forsothe his wijf seide to hym, Dwellist thou yit in thi symplenesse? Curse thou God, and die.
Tada mu njegova žena reče: “Zar si još postojan u neporočnosti? Prokuni Boga i umri!”
10 And Joob seide, Thou hast spoke as oon of the fonned wymmen; if we han take goodis of the hond of the Lord, whi forsothe suffren we not yuels? In alle these thingis Joob synnede not in hise lippis.
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 Therfor thre frendis of Joob herden al the yuel, that hadde bifelde to hym, and camen ech man fro his place, Eliphath Temanytes, and Baldach Suythes, and Sophar Naamathites; for thei `hadden seide togidere to hem silf, that thei wolden come togidere, and visite hym, and coumforte.
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 And whanne thei hadden reisid afer `her iyen, thei knewen not hym; and thei crieden, and wepten, and to-renten her clothis, and spreynten dust on her heed `in to heuene.
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 And thei saten with hym in the erthe seuene daies and seuene nyytis, and no man spak a word to hym; for thei sien, that his sorewe was greet.
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.
