Job 2

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Another day, the sons of God came to attend on Yahweh and Satan came with them too.	1 Jednoga dana dođu opet sinovi Božji da stanu pred Jahvu, a među njima pristupi i Satan.
2 So Yahweh said to Satan, 'Where have you been?' 'Prowling about on earth,' he answered, 'roamingaround there.'	2 Jahve tad upita Satana: »Odakle dolaziš?« – »Evo prođoh zemljom i obiđoh je«, odgovori on.
3 So Yahweh asked him, 'Did you pay any attention to my servant Job? There is no one like him on theearth: a sound and honest man who fears God and shuns evil. He persists in his integrity stil ; you achieved nothing by provoking me to ruin him.'	3 Nato će Jahve: »Nisi li zapazio slugu moga Joba? Njemu na zemlji nema ravna. Čovjek je to neporočan i pravedan: boji se Boga i kloni zla! On je još postojan u neporočnosti, pa si me uzalud izazvao da ga upropastim.«
4 'Skin after skin!' Satan replied. 'Someone wil give away al he has to save his life.	4 A Satan odvrati: »Koža za kožu! Sve što čovjek ima dat će za život.
5 But stretch out your hand and lay a finger on his bone and flesh; I warrant you, he wil curse you to yourface.'	5 Ali pruži ruku, dotakni se kosti njegove i mesa: u lice će te prokleti!«
6 'Very wel ,' Yahweh said to Satan, 'he is in your power. But spare his life.'	6 »Neka ti bude!« – reče Jahve Satanu. – »U tvojoj je ruci; život mu samo sačuvaj!«
7 So Satan left the presence of Yahweh. He struck Job down with malignant ulcers from the sole of hisfoot to the top of his head.	7 I Satan ode ispred lica Jahvina. On udari Joba zlim prištem od tabana do tjemena.
8 Job took a piece of pot to scrape himself, and went and sat among the ashes.	8 Job uze crijep da se struže njime i sjede u pepeo.
9 Then his wife said to him, 'Why persist in this integrity of yours? Curse God and die.'	9 Tada mu njegova žena reče: »Zar si još postojan u neporočnosti? Prokuni Boga i umri!«
10 'That is how a fool of a woman talks,' Job replied. 'If we take happiness from God's hand, must we nottake sorrow too?' And in al this misfortune Job uttered no sinful word.	10 Job joj odgovori: »Brbljaš kao luđakinja! Kad od Boga primamo dobro, zar da onda i zlo ne primimo?« U svemu tome Job nije sagriješio svojim usnama.
11 The news of al the disasters that had fal en on Job came to the ears of three of his friends. Each ofthem set out from home -- Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah and Zophar of Naamath -- and by commonconsent they decided to go and offer him sympathy and consolation.	11 Uto čuše tri Jobova prijatelja za sve nevolje koje ga zadesiše; svaki se zaputi iz svoga kraja – Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Šuaha, Sofar iz Naama – i odlučiše da odu zajedno ožaliti ga i utješiti.
12 Looking at him from a distance, they could not recognise him; they wept aloud and tore their robes andthrew dust over their heads.	12 A kad su izdaleka upravili oči na njega, nisu ga prepoznali. Tad udariše u plač; svaki razdrije svoju haljinu i prosu prah po glavi.
13 They sat there on the ground beside him for seven days and seven nights. To Job they spoke never aword, for they saw how much he was suffering.	13 Potom sjedoše kraj njega na zemlju i ostadoše tako sedam dana i sedam noći. Nijedan mu ne progovori ni riječi, jer vidješe da je velika njegova bol.
