Job 2

New Jerusalem Bible	Hrvatska Biblija
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.
