Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.
Viens vīrs bija Uca zemē, Ījabs vārdā, un tas bija sirdsskaidrs un taisns un dievbijīgs un sargājās no ļauna.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Un tam dzima septiņi dēli un trīs meitas.
3 And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.
Un viņam lopu bija septiņtūkstoš avis un trīstūkstoš kamieļi un piecsimt jūgi vēršu un piecsimt ēzeļu mātes un ļoti liela saime; un viņš bija lielāks nekā visi austruma ļaudis.
4 And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Un viņa dēli gāja un taisīja dzīres ikviena namā savā dienā, un sūtīja un aicināja savas trīs māsas, līdz ar tiem ēst un dzert.
5 And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Kad nu tās dzīru dienas bija apkārt, tad Ījabs sūtīja (atgādinājumu šķīstīties) un tos svētīja un cēlās no rīta agri un upurēja dedzināmos upurus pēc visu viņu skaita, jo Ījabs sacīja: Varbūt, ka mani dēli apgrēkojušies un Dievam savā sirdī atsacījuši. Tā Ījabs darīja ikdienas.
6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.
Un notikās kādā dienā, kad Dieva bērni nāca stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, tad sātans arīdzan atnāca viņu starpā.
7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: no kurienes tu nāci? Un sātans Tam Kungam atbildēja un sacīja: esmu gājis apkārt pa pasauli un to esmu izstaigājis.
8 And Jehovah 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 abstaineth from evil?
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: vai tu neesi licis vērā Manu kalpu Ījabu? Jo neviena tāda nav pasaulē kā viņš, sirdsskaidrs, taisns un dievbijīgs vīrs, un kas tā sargās no ļauna.
9 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Tad sātans atbildēja Tam Kungam un sacīja: vai tad Ījabs velti Dievu bīstas?
10 Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land.
Vai Tu viņu un viņa namu un visu, kas tam pieder, neesi visapkārt aptaisījis tā kā ar sētu? Viņa roku darbu Tu esi svētījis, un viņa lopi ir vairojušies zemē.
11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Bet nu izstiep jel Savu roku un aizskar, kas tam pieder, tiešām viņš Tev vaigā atsacīsies.
12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: redzi, viss, kas tam pieder, lai ir tavā rokā, tikai pie viņa paša nepieliec savu roku. Un sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Kad nu kādā dienā viņa dēli un meitas ēda un vīnu dzēra sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā,
14 And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them;
Tad vēstnesis nāca pie Ījaba un sacīja: vērši ara un ēzeļu mātes pie tiem bija klāt ganos.
15 and [they of] Sheba fell [upon them] and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Tad Arābi ielauzās un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: Dieva uguns krita no debess un iededzināja avis un puišus un tos sadedzināja pavisam, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt,
17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: Kaldeji taisījās trijos pulkos un uzbruka kamieļiem un tos paņēma un kāva tos puišus ar zobena asmeni, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;
Kamēr tas vēl runāja, cits atnāca un sacīja: tavi dēli un tavas meitas ēda un dzēra vīnu sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā.
19 and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Un redzi, briesmīga vētra nāca no tuksneša puses un aizņēma tos četrus nama stūrus, ka tas sagruva uz tiem jaunekļiem, un tie nomira, un es viens pats tikai esmu izbēdzis, tev to stāstīt.
20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;
Tad Ījabs cēlās un saplēsa savus svārkus un apcirpa savu galvu un metās pie zemes un pielūdza
21 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
Un sacīja: kails esmu nācis no savas mātes miesām un kails atkal aiziešu. Tas Kungs ir devis, Tas Kungs ir ņēmis, Tā Kunga vārds lai ir slavēts!
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.
Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās un neturējās aplam pret Dievu.
