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, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, 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.«
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in 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.«
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
4 Satan je Gospodu odgovoril in rekel: »Kožo za kožo, da, vse, kar človek ima, bo dal za svoje življenje.
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will 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 stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6 Gospod je rekel Satanu: »Glej, on je v tvoji roki, toda ohrani njegovo življenje.«
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare 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 out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8 Ta si je vzel črepinjo, se strgal z njo in se usedel med pepel.
He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9 Potem mu je njegova žena rekla: »Mar še vedno ohranjaš svojo neokrnjenost? Prekolni Boga in umri.«
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce 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, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t 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 on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize 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.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
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 on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
