Jov 1
1 Bijaše èovjek u zemlji Uzu po imenu Jov; i taj èovjek bijaše dobar i pravedan, i bojaše se Boga, i uklanjaše se oda zla.
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 turned away from evil.
2 I rodi mu se sedam sinova i tri kæeri.
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 I imaše stoke sedam tisuæa ovaca i tri tisuæe kamila i pet stotina jarmova volova i pet stotina magarica, i èeljadi veoma mnogo; i bijaše taj èovjek najveæi od svijeh ljudi na istoku.
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 children of the east.
4 I sinovi njegovi sastajahu se i davahu gozbe kod kuæe, svaki svoga dana, i slahu te pozivahu tri sestre svoje da jedu i piju s njima.
And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 I kad bi se obredili gozbom, pošiljaše Jov i osveæivaše ih, i ustajuæi rano prinošaše žrtve paljenice prema broju svijeh njih; jer govoraše Jov: može biti da su se ogriješili sinovi moji i pohulili na Boga u srcu svom. Tako èinjaše Jov svaki put.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up 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 renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 A jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a meðu njih doðe i Sotona.
Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.
7 I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 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.
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.
9 A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: eda li se uzalud Jov boji Boga?
Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Nijesi li ga ti ogradio i kuæu njegovu i sve što ima svuda unaokolo? djelo ruku njegovijeh blagoslovio si, i stoka se njegova umnožila na zemlji.
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 Ali pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se svega što ima, psovaæe te u oèi.
But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
12 A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo, sve što ima neka je u tvojoj ruci; samo na njega ne diži ruke svoje. I otide Sotona od Gospoda.
And Jehovah said unto 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 Jehovah.
13 A jedan dan kad sinovi njegovi i kæeri njegove jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega,
And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,
14 Doðe glasnik Jovu i reèe: volovi orahu i magarice pasijahu pokraj njih,
that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;
15 A Saveji udariše i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
and the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away: yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 Dok ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: oganj Božji spade s neba i spali ovce i momke, i proždrije ih; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 Dokle ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: Haldejci u tri èete udariše na kamile i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 Dokle ovaj još govoraše, doðe drugi i reèe: sinovi tvoji i kæeri tvoje jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega;
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 A to vjetar velik doðe ispreko pustinje i udari u èetiri ugla od kuæe, te pade na djecu i pogiboše; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
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 am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Tada usta Jov i razdrije plašt svoj, i ostriže glavu, i pade na zemlju i pokloni se,
Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
21 I reèe: go sam izašao iz utrobe matere svoje, go æu se i vratiti onamo. Gospod dade, Gospod uze, da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje.
and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.
22 Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov, niti reèe bezumlja za Boga.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
