Kniha Jób

1 (CPDV) But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
1 (ROH) A zase sa stalo jedného dňa, keď prišli synovia Boží, aby sa postavili pred Hospodinom, že prišiel medzi nimi aj Satan, aby sa postavil pred Hospodinom.

2 (CPDV) So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
2 (ROH) A Hospodin riekol Satanovi: Odkiaľ ideš? A Satan odpovedal Hospodinovi a riekol: Chodil som sem a ta po zemi a prechádzal som sa po nej.

3 (CPDV) And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
3 (ROH) A zase riekol Hospodin Satanovi: Či si si všimnul môjho služobníka Joba, že nie je jemu rovného na zemi, takého bezúhonného muža, priameho a spravedlivého, ktorý sa bojí Boha a chráni sa zlého, ktorý sa ešte vždy drží svojej bezúhonnosti, hoci si ma popudil proti nemu, aby som ho pohltil bez príčiny.

4 (CPDV) Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
4 (ROH) Na to odpovedal Satan Hospodinovi a riekol: Kožu za kožu a všetko, čo má človek, dá za svoj život.

5 (CPDV) Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
5 (ROH) Ale nože vystri svoju ruku a dotkni sa jeho kosti a jeho tela, či ti nebude zlorečiť do tvári!

6 (CPDV) Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
6 (ROH) Vtedy riekol Hospodin Satanovi: Hľa, je v tvojej ruke, len zachovaj jeho život!

7 (CPDV) And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
7 (ROH) A keď vyšiel Satan zpred tvári Hospodinovej, ranil Joba zlým vredom od spodku jeho nohy až po jeho temeno,

8 (CPDV) So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
8 (ROH) takže si vzal črep, aby sa ním škriabal, sediac prostred popola.

9 (CPDV) But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
9 (ROH) A jeho žena mu riekla: Či sa ešte držíš svojej bezúhony? Zloreč Bohu a zomri!

10 (CPDV) He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
10 (ROH) Na to jej povedal: Hovoríš, ako hovorieva niektorá z bláznivých. Či azda len dobré budeme brať od Boha a zlého nebudeme brať? V tom vo všetkom nezhrešil Job svojimi rtami.

11 (CPDV) And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
11 (ROH) Keď potom počuli traja priatelia Jobovi o všetkom tom zlom, ktoré prišlo na neho, prišli každý zo svojho miesta: Elifaz Témanský, Bildad Šuchský a Cófar Naamatský a uradili sa spoločne, že prijdú poľutovať ho a potešiť.

12 (CPDV) And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
12 (ROH) A keď pozdvihli svoje oči zďaleka, nepoznali ho. Potom pozdvihli svoj hlas a plakali a roztrhnúc každý svoj plášť sypali prach na svoje hlavy vrhajúc ho k nebu.

13 (CPDV) And they sat with him on the ground for seven day and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
13 (ROH) A sedeli s ním na zemi sedem dní a sedem nocí, a nikto neprehovoril k nemu ani slova, lebo videli, že jeho bolesť je veľmi veliká.
