Ījaba 2
1 Un notikās atkal kādā dienā, kad Dieva bērni nāca, stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, tad arī sātans atnāca viņu starpā, stāties Tā Kunga priekšā.
And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah.
2 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 Jehovah said to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: vai tu neesi licis vērā Manu kalpu Ījabu? Jo neviena tāda nav pasaulē kā viņš, sirdsskaidrs un taisns, dievbijīgs vīrs, un kas tā sargās no ļauna; un viņš vēl turas stipri pie savas sirdsskaidrības, bet tu Mani esi skubinājis pret viņu, viņu velti samaitāt.
And Jehovah 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 abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
4 Tad sātans Tam Kungam atbildēja un sacīja: ādu par ādu; un visu, kas cilvēkam pieder, to viņš dod par savu dzīvību.
And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
5 Bet izstiep jel Savu roku un aizskar viņa kaulus un viņa miesas; tiešām viņš Tev vaigā atsacīsies.
but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: redzi, lai viņš ir tavā rokā, bet taupi viņa dzīvību.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
7 Tad sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga un sita Ījabu ar nikniem augoņiem no pēdas līdz galvas virsai.
And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 Un viņš ņēma poda gabalu, ar to kasīties, un bija apsēdies pelnos.
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes.
9 Tad viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: vai tu vēl stipri turies pie savas sirds skaidrības? Atsaki Dievam un mirsti.
And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.
10 Bet viņš uz to sacīja: tu runā kā daža neprātīga runā; vai labumu gan saņemsim no Dieva, bet ļaunumu vis nesaņemsim? Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās ar savām lūpām.
But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Kad nu Ījaba trīs draugi dzirdēja visu šo nelaimi, kas viņam bija uzgājusi, tad tie nāca ikkatrs no savas vietas, Elifas no Temanas un Bildads no Šuhas un Cofars no Naēmas; jo tie bija sarunājušies, nākt un viņu žēlot un viņu iepriecināt.
And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
12 Un tie pacēla savas acis no tālienes un viņu nepazina; tad tie pacēla savu balsi un raudāja, un ikviens no tiem saplēsa savus svārkus un kaisīja pīšļus uz savām galvām pret debesīm.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
13 Tā tie pie viņa sēdēja zemē septiņas dienas un septiņas naktis, un neviens uz to nerunāja ne vārda; jo tie redzēja, ka tās sāpes bija ļoti lielas.
And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that [his] anguish was very great.
