Job 2
1 Ponovno je bil dan, ko so prišli Božji sinovi, da se predstavijo pred Gospodom in tudi Satan je prišel med njimi, da se predstavi pred Gospodom.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Od kod prihajaš?« Satan je Gospodu odgovoril in rekel: »Od potikanja sem ter tja po zemlji in od hoje gor in dol po njej.«
And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
3 Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Si preudaril [o] mojem služabniku Jobu, da tam ni nikogar podobnega njemu na zemlji? Popoln in iskren človek je, nekdo, ki se boji Boga in se ogiblje zla. Še vedno se trdno drži svoje neokrnjenosti, čeprav me spodbujaš zoper njega, da bi ga uničil brez razloga.«
And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Satan je Gospodu odgovoril in rekel: »Kožo za kožo, da, vse, kar človek ima, bo dal za svoje življenje.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, even, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 Toda iztegni sedaj svojo roko in se dotakni njegove kosti in njegovega mesa in preklel te bo v tvoj obraz.«
But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
6 Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, on je v tvoji roki, toda ohrani njegovo življenje.«
And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but save his life.
7 Tako je Satan odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in Joba udaril s hudimi tvori od podplata njegovega stopala do njegovega temena.
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 Ta si je vzel črepinjo, se strgal z njo in se usedel med pepel.
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Potem mu je njegova žena rekla: »Mar še vedno ohranjaš svojo neokrnjenost? Prekolni Boga in umri.«
Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thy integrity? curse God, and die.
10 Toda rekel ji je: »Govoriš kot govori ena izmed nespametnih žensk. Kaj? Dobro smo sprejeli iz Božje roke, pa ne bi sprejeli hudega?« V vsem tem Job s svojimi ustnicami ni grešil.
But he said to 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 Torej ko so Jobovi trije prijatelji slišali o vsem tem zlu, ki je prišlo nadenj, so prišli, vsak iz svojega lastnega kraja: Elifáz Temánec, Bildád Suhéjec in Cofár Naámčan, kajti skupaj so se dogovorili, da pridejo in da žalujejo z njim in da ga tolažijo.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had 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 Ko pa so od daleč povzdignili svoje oči in ga niso spoznali, so povzdignili svoj glas ter zajokali. Vsak izmed njih je pretrgal svoje ogrinjalo in proti nebu so potresli prah na svoje glave.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they raised their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 Tako so sedeli z njim na tleh sedem dni in sedem noči in nihče mu ni spregovoril niti besede, kajti videli so, da je bila njegova žalost zelo velika.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
