Књига о Јову 2
1 Опет један дан дођоше синови Божји да стану пред Господом, а дође и Сотона међу њих да стане пред Господом.
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 И Господ рече Сотони: Од куда идеш? А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Проходих земљу и обилазих.
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 И рече Господ Сотони: Јеси ли видео слугу мог Јова? Нема онаквог човека на земљи, доброг и праведног, који се боји Бога и уклања се ода зла, и још се држи доброте своје, премда си ме наговорио, те га упропастих низашта.
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 А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Кожа за кожу, и све што човек има даће за душу своју.
Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 Него пружи руку своју и дотакни се костију његових и меса његовог, псоваће те у очи.
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
6 А Господ рече Сотони: Ево ти га у руке; али му душу чувај.
YHWH said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
7 И сотона отиде од Господа, и удари Јова злим приштем од пете до темена,
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 Те он узе цреп па се стругаше, и сеђаше у пепелу.
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
9 И рече му жена: Хоћеш ли се још држати доброте своје? Благослови Бога, па умри.
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
10 А он јој рече: Говориш као луда жена; добро смо примали од Бога, а зла зар нећемо примати? Уза све то не сагреши Јов уснама својим.
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 А три пријатеља Јовова чуше за све зло које га задеси, и дођоше сваки из свог места, Елифас Теманац и Вилдад Сушанин и Софар Намаћанин, договорише се да дођу да га пожале и потеше.
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 И подигавши очи своје издалека не познаше га; тада подигоше глас свој и стадоше плакати и раздреше сваки свој плашт и посуше се прахом по глави бацајући га у небо.
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 И сеђаху код њега на земљи седам дана и седам ноћи, и ниједан му не проговори речи, јер виђаху да је бол врло велик.
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.
