Job 2
1 And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh—so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.
Опет један дан дођоше синови Божји да стану пред Господом, а дође и Сотона међу њих да стане пред Господом.
2 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.
И Господ рече Сотони: Од куда идеш? А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Проходих земљу и обилазих.
3 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
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.
4 Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.
А Сотона одговори Господу и рече: Кожа за кожу, и све што човек има даће за душу своју.
5 In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
Него пружи руку своју и дотакни се костију његових и меса његовог, псоваће те у очи.
6 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, —only, his life, preserve thou!
А Господ рече Сотони: Ево ти га у руке; али му душу чувај.
7 So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.
И сотона отиде од Господа, и удари Јова злим приштем од пете до темена,
8 And he took him a potsherd, to scrape himself therewith; he being seated in the midst of ashes.
Те он узе цреп па се стругаше, и сеђаше у пепелу.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine integrity? Curse God, and die!
И рече му жена: Хоћеш ли се још држати доброте своје? Благослови Бога, па умри.
10 And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.
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.
11 Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, —they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, —for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort him.
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.
12 And, when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept—and rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
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.
13 And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, —and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
И сеђаху код њега на земљи седам дана и седам ноћи, и ниједан му не проговори речи, јер виђаху да је бол врло велик.
