Job 1
1 There was a certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.
Беше човек у земљи Узу по имену Јов; и тај човек беше добар и праведан, и бојаше се Бога, и уклањаше се ода зла.
2 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
И роди му се седам синова и три кћери.
3 And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] of the east.
И имаше стоке седам хиљада оваца и три хиљада камила и пет стотина јармова волова и пет стотина магарица, и чељади веома много; и беше тај човек највећи од свих људи на истоку.
4 And his sons visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
И синови његови састајаху се и даваху гозбе код куће, сваки свог дана, и слаху те позиваху три сестре своје да једу и пију с њима.
5 And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
И кад би се обредили гозбом, пошиљаше Јов и освећиваше их, и устајући рано приношаше жртве паљенице према броју свих њих; јер говораше Јов: Може бити да су се огрешили синови моји и похулили на Бога у срцу свом. Тако чињаше Јов сваки пут.
6 And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them.
А један дан дођоше синови Божји да стану пред Господом, а међу њих дође и Сотона.
7 And the Lord said to the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
И Господ рече Сотони: Од куда идеш? А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Проходих земљу и обилазих.
8 And the Lord said to him, Hast you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?
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.
9 Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?
А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Еда ли се узалуд Јов боји Бога?
10 Hast you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land?
Ниси ли га Ти оградио и кућу његову и све што има свуда унаоколо? Дело руку његових благословио си, и стока се његова умножила на земљи.
11 But put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
Али пружи руку своју и дотакни се свега што има, псоваће те у очи.
12 Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.
А Господ рече Сотони: Ево, све што има нека је у твојој руци; само на њега не дижи руке своје. И отиде Сотона од Господа.
13 And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.
А један дан кад синови његови и кћери његове јеђаху и пијаху вино у кући брата свог најстаријег,
14 And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were plowing, and the she-asses were feeding near them;
Дође гласник Јову и рече: Волови ораху и магарице пасаху покрај њих,
15 and the spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
А Савеји ударише и отеше их, и побише момке оштрим мачем; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
Док овај још говораше, дође други и рече: Огањ Божји спаде с неба и спали овце и момке, и прождре их; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell you.
Докле овај још говораше, дође други и рече: Халдејци у три чете ударише на камиле и отеше их, и побише момке оштрим мачем; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
18 While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,
Докле овај још говораше, дође други и рече: Синови твоји и кћери твоје јеђаху и пијаху вино у кући брата свог најстаријег;
19 suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come to tell you.
А то ветар велик дође испреко пустиње и удари у четири угла од куће, те паде на децу и погибоше; и само ја један утекох да ти јавим.
20 So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, and worshipped,
Тада уста Јов и раздре плашт свој, и остриже главу, и паде на земљу и поклони се,
21 and said, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.
И рече: Го сам изашао из утробе матере своје, го ћу се и вратити онамо. Господ даде, Господ узе, да је благословено име Господње.
22 In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.
Уза све то не сагреши Јов, нити рече безумља за Бога.
