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.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also 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, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and 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.
Then said Jehovah to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst excite me against him to destroy him without a 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 now thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
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; but spare his life.
7 Tad sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga un sita Ījabu ar nikniem augoņiem no pēdas līdz galvas virsai.
Then Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 Un viņš ņēma poda gabalu, ar to kasīties, un bija apsēdies pelnos.
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and sat down among the ashes.
9 Tad viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: vai tu vēl stipri turies pie savas sirds skaidrības? Atsaki Dievam un mirsti.
Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Renounce 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 talkest like one of the foolish women. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this, Job sinned not 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 three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and came each one from his home; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had agreed to come to mourn 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 they lifted up their eyes at a distance, and knew him not; then they raised their voices and wept, and rent each one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward 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 down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him; for they saw that his grief was very great.
