< Ījaba 2 >

1 Un notikās atkal kādā dienā, kad Dieva bērni nāca, stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, tad arī sātans atnāca viņu starpā, stāties Tā Kunga priekšā.
Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan came also among them to present himself before YHWH.
2 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.
YHWH said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered YHWH, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
3 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: vai tu neesi licis vērā Manu kalpu Ījabu? Jo neviena tāda nav pasaulē kā viņš, sirdsskaidrs un taisns, dievbijīgs vīrs, un kas tā sargās no ļauna; un viņš vēl turas stipri pie savas sirdsskaidrības, bet tu Mani esi skubinājis pret viņu, viņu velti samaitāt.
YHWH said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
4 Tad sātans Tam Kungam atbildēja un sacīja: ādu par ādu; un visu, kas cilvēkam pieder, to viņš dod par savu dzīvību.
Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 Bet izstiep jel Savu roku un aizskar viņa kaulus un viņa miesas; tiešām viņš Tev vaigā atsacīsies.
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz sātanu: redzi, lai viņš ir tavā rokā, bet taupi viņa dzīvību.
YHWH said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
7 Tad sātans aizgāja no Tā Kunga un sita Ījabu ar nikniem augoņiem no pēdas līdz galvas virsai.
So Satan went forth from the presence of YHWH, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8 Un viņš ņēma poda gabalu, ar to kasīties, un bija apsēdies pelnos.
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
9 Tad viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: vai tu vēl stipri turies pie savas sirds skaidrības? Atsaki Dievam un mirsti.
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
10 Bet viņš uz to sacīja: tu runā kā daža neprātīga runā; vai labumu gan saņemsim no Dieva, bet ļaunumu vis nesaņemsim? Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās ar savām lūpām.
But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Kad nu Ījaba trīs draugi dzirdēja visu šo nelaimi, kas viņam bija uzgājusi, tad tie nāca ikkatrs no savas vietas, Elifas no Temanas un Bildads no Šuhas un Cofars no Naēmas; jo tie bija sarunājušies, nākt un viņu žēlot un viņu iepriecināt.
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity 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 Un tie pacēla savas acis no tālienes un viņu nepazina; tad tie pacēla savu balsi un raudāja, un ikviens no tiem saplēsa savus svārkus un kaisīja pīšļus uz savām galvām pret debesīm.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
13 Tā tie pie viņa sēdēja zemē septiņas dienas un septiņas naktis, un neviens uz to nerunāja ne vārda; jo tie redzēja, ka tās sāpes bija ļoti lielas.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
