< Job 2 >

1 Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Opet jedan dan doðoše sinovi Božji da stanu pred Gospodom, a doðe i Sotona meðu njih da stane pred Gospodom.
2 The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
I Gospod reèe Sotoni: otkuda ideš? A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: prohodih zemlju i obilazih.
3 The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
I reèe Gospod Sotoni: jesi li vidio slugu mojega Jova? nema onakoga èovjeka na zemlji, dobra i pravedna, koji se boji Boga i uklanja se oda zla, i još se drži dobrote svoje, premda si me nagovorio, te ga upropastih ni za što.
4 Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
A Sotona odgovori Gospodu i reèe: koža za kožu, i sve što èovjek ima daæe za dušu svoju.
5 But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
Nego pruži ruku svoju i dotakni se kostiju njegovijeh i mesa njegova, psovaæe te u oèi.
6 The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
A Gospod reèe Sotoni: evo ti ga u ruke; ali mu dušu èuvaj.
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
I Sotona otide od Gospoda, i udari Jova zlijem prištem od pete do tjemena,
8 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
Te on uze crijep pa se strugaše, i sjeðaše u pepelu.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
I reèe mu žena: hoæeš li se još držati dobrote svoje? blagoslovi Boga, pa umri.
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.
A on joj reèe: govoriš kao luda žena; dobro smo primali od Boga, a zla zar neæemo primati? Uza sve to ne sagriješi Jov usnama svojim.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil 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.
A tri prijatelja Jovova èuše za sve zlo koje ga zadesi, i doðoše svaki iz svojega mjesta, Elifas Temanac i Vildad Sušanin i Sofar Namaæanin, dogovorivši se da doðu da ga požale i potješe.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
I podigavši oèi svoje izdaleka ne poznaše ga; tada podigoše glas svoj i stadoše plakati i razdriješe svaki svoj plašt i posuše se prahom po glavi bacajuæi ga u nebo.
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
I sjeðahu kod njega na zemlji sedam dana i sedam noæi, i nijedan mu ne progovori rijeèi, jer viðahu da je bol vrlo velik.
