Книга Иова 1
1 Человек некий бяше во стране Авситидийстей, емуже имя Иов, и бе человек он истинен, непорочен, праведен богочестив, удаляяся от всякия лукавыя вещи.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turning away from evil.
2 Быша же ему сынове седмь и дщери три.
There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 И бяху скоти его, овец седмь тысящ, велблюдов три тысящы, супруг волов пять сот, и ослиц пасомых пять сот, и слуг много зело, и дела велия бяху ему на земли: и бе человек оный благороднейший сущих от Восток солнца.
His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.
4 Сходящеся же сынове его друг ко другу, творяху пир на кийждо день, споемлюще вкупе и три сестры своя, ясти и пити с ними.
His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 И егда скончавашеся дние пира, посылаше Иов и очищаше их, востая заутра, и приношаше о них жертвы по числу их, и телца единаго о гресе о душах их. Глаголаше бо Иов: негли когда сынове мои согрешиша и в мысли своей злая помыслиша противу Бога? Тако убо творяше Иов вся дни.
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, 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 cursed God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
6 И бысть яко день сей, и се, приидоша Ангели Божии предстати пред Господем, и диавол прииде с ними.
Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.
7 И рече Господь диаволу: откуду пришел еси? И отвещав диавол Господеви, рече: обшед землю и прошед поднебесную, се, есмь.
Jehovah said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
8 И рече ему Господь: внял ли еси мыслию твоею на раба Моего Иова? Зане несть яко он на земли: человек непорочен, истинен, богочестив, удаляяся от всякия лукавыя вещи.
Jehovah 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."
9 Отвеща же диавол и рече пред Господем:
Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 еда туне Иов чтит Господа? Не Ты ли оградил еси внешняя его и внутренняя дому его, и яже вне всех сущих его окрест? Дела же руку его благословил еси и скоты его многи сотворил еси на земли:
Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have increased in the land.
11 но посли руку Твою и коснися всех, яже имать, аще не в лице Тя благословит,
But put forth your hand now, and strike all that he has, and he will curse you to your face."
12 тогда рече Господь диаволу: се, вся, елика суть ему, даю в руку твою, но самого да не коснешися. И изыде диавол от Господа.
Jehovah said to Satan, "Look, all that he has is in your power. Only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 И бысть яко день сей, сынове иовлевы и дщери его пияху вино в дому брата своего старейшаго.
Now the day came when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
14 И се, вестник прииде ко Иову и рече ему: супрузи волов оряху, и ослицы пасяхуся близ их:
that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys grazing beside them,
15 и пришедше пленителие плениша их и отроки избиша мечем, и спасохся аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
and Sheba attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
16 Еще сему глаголющу, прииде ин вестник и рече ко Иову: огнь спаде с небесе и пожже овцы и пастыри пояде подобне, спасохся же аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
17 Еще сему глаголющу, прииде ин вестник и рече ко Иову: конницы сотвориша началства три и окружиша велблюды и плениша их и отроки избиша мечьми, спасохся же аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, and killed the young men with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
18 Еще сему глаголющу, ин вестник прииде, глаголя Иову: сыном твоим и дщерем твоим ядущым и пиющым у брата своего старейшаго,
While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
19 внезапу ветр велик найде от пустыни и коснуся четырем углом храмины, и паде храмина на дети твоя, и скончашася: спасохся же аз един и приидох возвестити тебе.
and look, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you."
20 Тако (услышав) Иов, востав растерза ризы своя и остриже власы главы своея, (и посыпа перстию главу свою, ) и пад на землю, поклонися (Господеви)
Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down with his face to the ground.
21 и рече: сам наг изыдох от чрева матере моея, наг и отиду тамо: Господь даде, Господь отят: яко Господеви изволися, тако бысть: буди имя Господне благословено (во веки).
He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away. Blessed be the name of Jehovah."
22 Во всех сих приключившихся ему ничтоже согреши Иов пред Господем, (ниже устнама своима, ) и не даде безумия Богу.
In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
