Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away 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 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-donkeys, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the sons 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 held a feast in the house of each one upon his day, and they sent and called for 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 their feasting were completed, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus Job did 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 Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came 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, From where do thou come? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on 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, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away 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 Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
Tad sātans atbildēja Tam Kungam un sacīja: vai tad Ījabs velti Dievu bīstas?
10 Have thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has, on every side? Thou have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased 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 has, and he will renounce 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 has is in thy power, only upon himself do not put 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 it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Kad nu kādā dienā viņa dēli un meitas ēda un vīnu dzēra sava pirmdzimušā brāļa namā,
14 that there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
Tad vēstnesis nāca pie Ījaba un sacīja: vērši ara un ēzeļu mātes pie tiem bija klāt ganos.
15 and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away. Yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped 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 also another, and said, The fire of God fell from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and only I alone have escaped 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 also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped 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 also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house.
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 the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead, and only I alone have escaped 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 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped.
Tad Ījabs cēlās un saplēsa savus svārkus un apcirpa savu galvu un metās pie zemes un pielūdza
21 And he said, Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has 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 did not sin, nor foolishly accuse God.
Visās šinīs lietās Ījabs neapgrēkojās un neturējās aplam pret Dievu.
