Ījaba 1
1 Viens vīrs bija Uca zemē, Ījabs vārdā, un tas bija sirdsskaidrs un taisns un dievbijīgs un sargājās no ļauna.
In the land named Uz, there was a man named Job. He was a very godly/righteous [DOU] man, who greatly respected/revered God and always avoided doing evil things.
2 Un tam dzima septiņi dēli un trīs meitas.
He had seven sons and three daughters.
3 Un viņam lopu bija septiņtūkstoš avis un trīstūkstoš kamieļi un piecsimt jūgi vēršu un piecsimt ēzeļu mātes un ļoti liela saime; un viņš bija lielāks nekā visi austruma ļaudis.
He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was the richest man in all the area east [of the Jordan River].
4 Un viņa dēli gāja un taisīja dzīres ikviena namā savā dienā, un sūtīja un aicināja savas trīs māsas, līdz ar tiem ēst un dzert.
Each year, Job’s sons made feasts [in their houses] to celebrate their birthdays. Whenever each one made a feast, he would invite [all his brothers and] his three sisters to come and eat together.
5 Kad nu tās dzīru dienas bija apkārt, tad Ījabs sūtīja (atgādinājumu šķīstīties) un tos svētīja un cēlās no rīta agri un upurēja dedzināmos upurus pēc visu viņu skaita, jo Ījabs sacīja: Varbūt, ka mani dēli apgrēkojušies un Dievam savā sirdī atsacījuši. Tā Ījabs darīja ikdienas.
When each celebration ended, Job would summon them. He would get up early in the morning and kill animals and burn them on the altar as sacrifices, one for each of his children. He said to himself, “Perhaps [one of] my sons has sinned and said something evil about God in his heart.”
6 Un notikās kādā dienā, kad Dieva bērni nāca stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, tad sātans arīdzan atnāca viņu starpā.
One day, the angels came and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
7 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: no kurienes tu nāci? Un sātans Tam Kungam atbildēja un sacīja: esmu gājis apkārt pa pasauli un to esmu izstaigājis.
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
8 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: vai tu neesi licis vērā Manu kalpu Ījabu? Jo neviena tāda nav pasaulē kā viņš, sirdsskaidrs, taisns un dievbijīgs vīrs, un kas tā sargās no ļauna.
Yahweh said to 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. There is no one else on the earth like him.”
9 Tad sātans atbildēja Tam Kungam un sacīja: vai tad Ījabs velti Dievu bīstas?
Satan replied to Yahweh, “[What you say is true], but Job greatly respects you [only] because of what [you have done for him] [RHQ].
10 Vai Tu viņu un viņa namu un visu, kas tam pieder, neesi visapkārt aptaisījis tā kā ar sētu? Viņa roku darbu Tu esi svētījis, un viņa lopi ir vairojušies zemē.
You have always [RHQ] protected [MET] him and his family and everything that he owns. You have made him very prosperous/rich. He has livestock all over this land.
11 Bet nu izstiep jel Savu roku un aizskar, kas tam pieder, tiešām viņš Tev vaigā atsacīsies.
But if you take away [MTY] everything that he has, he will curse you openly. [IDM]”
12 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: redzi, viss, kas tam pieder, lai ir tavā rokā, tikai pie viņa paša nepieliec savu roku. Un sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga.
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), I will permit you to take away everything that he has. But do not harm him.” Then Satan left, [and he prepared to cause many disastrous things to happen to Job].
13 Kad nu kādā dienā viņa dēli un meitas ēda un vīnu dzēra sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā,
One day [after that], Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the home of their oldest brother.
14 Tad vēstnesis nāca pie Ījaba un sacīja: vērši ara un ēzeļu mātes pie tiem bija klāt ganos.
While they were doing that, a messenger arrived at Job’s home and said to him, “While your oxen were plowing [the fields] and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 Tad Arābi ielauzās un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
a group of men from [the] Sheba [area] came and attacked us. They killed all your servants [who were working in the fields] and took away all the oxen and donkeys! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you what happened.”
16 Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: Dieva uguns krita no debess un iededzināja avis un puišus un tos sadedzināja pavisam, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt,
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Lightning from the sky [MTY] struck and killed all the sheep and all the men who were taking care of the sheep! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
17 Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: Kaldeji taisījās trijos pulkos un uzbruka kamieļiem un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Three groups [of robbers/bandits] from Chaldea [land] came and attacked us. They stole all the camels and killed all the men who were taking care of them. I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
18 Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: tavi dēli un tavas meitas ēda un dzēra vīnu sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā.
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived and reported this to Job: “Your sons and daughters were feasting in the home of their oldest brother.
19 Un redzi, briesmīga vētra nāca no tuksneša puses un aizņēma tos četrus nama stūrus, ka tas sagruva uz tiem jaunekļiem, un tie nomira, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
Suddenly a (very strong wind/tornado) came from the desert and struck the house. The house collapsed on your sons and daughters and killed them all! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
20 Tad Ījabs cēlās un saplēsa savus svārkus un apcirpa savu galvu un metās pie zemes un pielūdza
Job stood up, and tore his robe and shaved his head [because he was very sad/grieved]. Then he prostrated himself on the ground [to worship God].
21 Un sacīja: kails esmu nācis no savas mātes miesām un kails atkal aiziešu. Tas Kungs ir devis, Tas Kungs ir ņēmis, Tā Kunga vārds lai ir slavēts!
He said, “When I was born, I had no clothes on. When I die, I will not take any clothes with me. Yahweh gave me [everything that I possessed], and [now] he has taken it all away. But (we should/I will) always praise Yahweh [anyway]! [MTY]”
22 Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās un neturējās aplam pret Dievu.
In spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not sin by saying that what God had done was wrong.
