Книга Иова 1
1 Человек некий бяше во стране Авситидийстей, емуже имя Иов, и бе человек он истинен, непорочен, праведен богочестив, удаляяся от всякия лукавыя вещи.
There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 Быша же ему сынове седмь и дщери три.
And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 И бяху скоти его, овец седмь тысящ, велблюдов три тысящы, супруг волов пять сот, и ослиц пасомых пять сот, и слуг много зело, и дела велия бяху ему на земли: и бе человек оный благороднейший сущих от Восток солнца.
And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 Сходящеся же сынове его друг ко другу, творяху пир на кийждо день, споемлюще вкупе и три сестры своя, ясти и пити с ними.
And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 И егда скончавашеся дние пира, посылаше Иов и очищаше их, востая заутра, и приношаше о них жертвы по числу их, и телца единаго о гресе о душах их. Глаголаше бо Иов: негли когда сынове мои согрешиша и в мысли своей злая помыслиша противу Бога? Тако убо творяше Иов вся дни.
And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
6 И бысть яко день сей, и се, приидоша Ангели Божии предстати пред Господем, и диавол прииде с ними.
But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
7 И рече Господь диаволу: откуду пришел еси? И отвещав диавол Господеви, рече: обшед землю и прошед поднебесную, се, есмь.
The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
8 И рече ему Господь: внял ли еси мыслию твоею на раба Моего Иова? Зане несть яко он на земли: человек непорочен, истинен, богочестив, удаляяся от всякия лукавыя вещи.
And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
9 Отвеща же диавол и рече пред Господем:
Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10 еда туне Иов чтит Господа? Не Ты ли оградил еси внешняя его и внутренняя дому его, и яже вне всех сущих его окрест? Дела же руку его благословил еси и скоты его многи сотворил еси на земли:
Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11 но посли руку Твою и коснися всех, яже имать, аще не в лице Тя благословит,
But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
12 тогда рече Господь диаволу: се, вся, елика суть ему, даю в руку твою, но самого да не коснешися. И изыде диавол от Господа.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13 И бысть яко день сей, сынове иовлевы и дщери его пияху вино в дому брата своего старейшаго.
So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14 И се, вестник прииде ко Иову и рече ему: супрузи волов оряху, и ослицы пасяхуся близ их:
a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15 и пришедше пленителие плениша их и отроки избиша мечем, и спасохся аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
16 Еще сему глаголющу, прииде ин вестник и рече ко Иову: огнь спаде с небесе и пожже овцы и пастыри пояде подобне, спасохся же аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 Еще сему глаголющу, прииде ин вестник и рече ко Иову: конницы сотвориша началства три и окружиша велблюды и плениша их и отроки избиша мечьми, спасохся же аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
18 Еще сему глаголющу, ин вестник прииде, глаголя Иову: сыном твоим и дщерем твоим ядущым и пиющым у брата своего старейшаго,
He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
19 внезапу ветр велик найде от пустыни и коснуся четырем углом храмины, и паде храмина на дети твоя, и скончашася: спасохся же аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
20 Тако (услышав) Иов, востав растерза ризы своя и остриже власы главы своея, (и посыпа перстию главу свою, ) и пад на землю, поклонися (Господеви)
Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
21 и рече: сам наг изыдох от чрева матере моея, наг и отиду тамо: Господь даде, Господь отят: яко Господеви изволися, тако бысть: буди имя Господне благословено (во веки).
and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 Во всех сих приключившихся ему ничтоже согреши Иов пред Господем, (ниже устнама своима, ) и не даде безумия Богу.
In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
