Книга Иова 2
1 Бысть же яко день сей, и приидоша Ангели Божии предстати пред Господем, и диавол прииде посреде их предстати пред Господем.
And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
2 И рече Господь диаволу: откуду ты грядеши? Тогда рече диавол пред Господем: прошед поднебесную и обшед всю землю, приидох.
And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
3 И рече Господь ко диаволу: внял ли еси убо (мыслию твоею) рабу Моему Иову? Яко несть такова от сущих на земли: человек незлобив, истинен, непорочен, богочестив, удаляяся от всякаго зла, еще же придержится незлобия: ты же рекл еси имения его погубити вотще.
And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
4 Отвещав же диавол Господеви, рече: кожу за кожу, и вся, елика имать человек, даст за душу свою:
And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
5 обаче посли руку Твою и коснися костем его и плоти его, аще не в лице Тя благословит.
Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
6 Рече же Господь диаволу: се, предаю ти его, токмо душу его соблюди.
And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
7 Изыде же диавол от лица Господня и порази Иова гноем лютым от ногу даже до главы.
And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 И взя (Иов) чреп, да острогает гной свой, и той седяше на гноищи вне града.
And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
9 но рцы глагол некий ко Господу и умри.
And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
10 Он же воззрев рече к ней: вскую яко едина от безумных жен возглаголала еси? Аще благая прияхом от руки Господни, злых ли не стерпим? Во всех сих приключившихся ему, ничимже согреши Иов устнама пред Богом (и не даде безумия Богу).
And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
11 Услышавше же трие друзие его вся злая нашедшая нань, приидоша кийждо от своея страны к нему: Елифаз Феманский царь, Валдад Савхейский властитель, Софар Минейский царь: и приидоша к нему единодушно утешити и посетити его.
And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
12 Увидевше же его издалеча, не познаша, и возопивше гласом велиим восплакашася, растерзавше кийждо одежду свою и посыпавше перстию главы своя:
and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
13 седеша при нем седмь дний и седмь нощей, и никтоже от них возглагола к нему словесе: видяху бо язву люту сущу и велику зело.
And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
