< 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 it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
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.
That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through 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 the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him 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, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will 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, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless thee to thy face.
6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: redzi, lai viņš ir tavā rokā, bet taupi viņa dzīvību.
And the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save his life.
7 Tad sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga un sita Ījabu ar nikniem augoņiem no pēdas līdz galvas virsai.
So Satan went forth from the presence Of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:
8 Un viņš ņēma poda gabalu, ar to kasīties, un bija apsēdies pelnos.
And he took a potsherd and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
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 continue in thy simplicity? bless 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.
And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things 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.
Now when Job’s three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and 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 had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven.
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 with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great.
