Jov 2
1 Opet jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a doðe i Sotona meðu njih da stane pred Gospodom.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yhwh, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yhwh.
2 I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
And Yhwh said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Yhwh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 I reèe Gospod Sotoni: jesi li vidio slugu mojega Jova? nema onakoga èovjeka na zemlji, dobra i pravedna, koji se boji Boga i uklanja se oda zla, i još se drži dobrote svoje, premda si me nagovorio, te ga upropastih ni za što.
And Yhwh said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: koža za kožu, i sve što èovjek ima daæe za dušu svoju.
And Satan answered Yhwh, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 Nego pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se kostiju njegovijeh i mesa njegova, psovaæe te u oèi.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
6 A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo ti ga u ruke; ali mu dušu èuvaj.
And Yhwh said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
7 I Sotona otide od Gospoda, i udari Jova zlijem prištem od pete do tjemena,
So went Satan forth from the presence of Yhwh, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 Te on uze crijep pa se strugaše, i sjeðaše u pepelu.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 I reèe mu žena: hoæeš li se još držati dobrote svoje? blagoslovi Boga, pa umri.
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
10 A on joj reèe: govoriš kao luda žena; dobro smo primali od Boga, a zla zar neæemo primati? Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov usnama svojim.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 A tri prijatelja Jovova èuše za sve zlo koje ga zadesi, i doðoše svaki iz svojega mjesta, Elifas Temanac i Vildad Sušanin i Sofar Namaæanin, dogovorivši se da doðu da ga požale i potješe.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12 I podigavši oèi svoje izdaleka ne poznaše ga; tada podigoše glas svoj i stadoše plakati i razdriješe svaki svoj plašt i posuše se prahom po glavi bacajuæi ga u nebo.
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 heaven.
13 I sjeðahu kod njega na zemlji sedam dana i sedam noæi, i nijedan mu ne progovori rijeèi, jer viðahu da je bol vrlo velik.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
