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 certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.
2 I rodi mu se sedam sinova i tri kæeri.
And he had 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.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] 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 visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also their three sisters to eat and 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 when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
6 A jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a meðu njih doðe i Sotona.
And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them.
7 I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
And the Lord said to the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
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 the Lord said to him, Hast you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?
9 A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: eda li se uzalud Jov boji Boga?
Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?
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 you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land?
11 Ali pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se svega što ima, psovaæe te u oèi.
But put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless you to [your] 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.
Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 A jedan dan kad sinovi njegovi i kæeri njegove jeðahu i pijahu vino u kuæi brata svojega najstarijega,
And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.
14 Doðe glasnik Jovu i reèe: volovi orahu i magarice pasijahu pokraj njih,
And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding near them;
15 A Saveji udariše i oteše ih, i pobiše momke oštrijem maèem; i samo ja jedan utekoh da ti javim.
and the spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
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 another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
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 another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell you.
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 is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,
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.
suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come to tell you.
20 Tada usta Jov i razdrije plašt svoj, i ostriže glavu, i pade na zemlju i pokloni se,
So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, 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 said, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov, niti reèe bezumlja za Boga.
In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.
