Ījaba 1
1 Viens vīrs bija Uca zemē, Ījabs vārdā, un tas bija sirdsskaidrs un taisns un dievbijīgs un sargājās no ļauna.
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 shunned evil.
2 Un tam dzima septiņi dēli un trīs meitas.
And there were born to him 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.
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 men of the east.
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.
And his sons went and feasted [in their] houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
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.
And it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were ended, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings [according] to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Un notikās kādā dienā, kad Dieva bērni nāca stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, tad sātans arīdzan atnāca viņu starpā.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
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.
And the LORD said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
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.
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 shunneth evil?
9 Tad sātans atbildēja Tam Kungam un sacīja: vai tad Ījabs velti Dievu bīstas?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?
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.
Hast not thou made a 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.
11 Bet nu izstiep jel Savu roku un aizskar, kas tam pieder, tiešām viņš Tev vaigā atsacīsies.
But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
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.
And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13 Kad nu kādā dienā viņa dēli un meitas ēda un vīnu dzēra sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā,
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 Tad vēstnesis nāca pie Ījaba un sacīja: vērši ara un ēzeļu mātes pie tiem bija klāt ganos.
And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 Tad Arābi ielauzās un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
And the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away; yes, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
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] yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
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] yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yes, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
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] yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
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.
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 have escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Tad Ījabs cēlās un saplēsa savus svārkus un apcirpa savu galvu un metās pie zemes un pielūdza
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped,
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!
And said, Naked came I from 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.
22 Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās un neturējās aplam pret Dievu.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
