Kniha Jób

1 (CPDV) There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
1 (KAT) V krajine Hus žil istý muž, menom Jób. Bol to muž dokonalý a statočný, bál sa Pána a chránil sa zlého.

2 (CPDV) And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
2 (KAT) (Narodilo sa mu sedem synov a tri dcéry.)

3 (CPDV) And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
3 (KAT) V jeho stádach bolo sedemtisíc oviec, tritisíc tiav, päťsto záprahov rožného statku a päťsto oslíc. Aj čeľade mal veľmi mnoho. Bol to muž, ktorý vynikal nad všetkých synov Východu.

4 (CPDV) And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
4 (KAT) Jeho synovia často robili hostiny, každý v určitý deň vo svojom dome, a pozývali aj svoje tri sestry, aby s nimi jedli a pili.

5 (CPDV) And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
5 (KAT) No len čo uplynuli dni hodov, Jób si ich dal zavolať a obradne ich očisťoval. Vstal včasráno a podľa ich celkového počtu prinášal zápalné obety. Lebo Jób hovorieval: „Možno, že moji synovia zhrešili. Možno, že vo svojom srdci urazili Boha.“ A tak to Jób robil neprestajne.

6 (CPDV) But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
6 (KAT) Tu v ktorýsi deň prišli Boží synovia a postavili sa pred Pána. S nimi prišiel aj satan.

7 (CPDV) The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
7 (KAT) Pán povedal satanovi: „Skadiaľ prichádzaš?“ Satan odpovedal: „Chodil som krížom-krážom po zemi.“

8 (CPDV) And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
8 (KAT) Pán povedal satanovi: „A všimol si si môjho služobníka Jóba? Niet mu rovného na zemi. Je to muž dokonalý a statočný, bojí sa Boha a chráni sa zlého.“

9 (CPDV) Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
9 (KAT) Satan odpovedal Pánovi: „Vari sa Jób zadarmo bojí Boha?!

10 (CPDV) Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
10 (KAT) A neurobil si ty sám akoby ohradu okolo neho, okolo jeho domu a okolo všetkého jeho imania?! Požehnávaš prácu jeho rúk a jeho čriedy zaplavili šíry kraj.

11 (CPDV) But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
11 (KAT) Ale vztiahni ruku a zasiahni všetko jeho imanie, či ti nebude kliať do očí!“

12 (CPDV) Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
12 (KAT) Tu Pán povedal satanovi: „Hľa, všetko, čo má, je v tvojich rukách, iba jeho samého sa nedotkni!“ A satan sa vzdialil spred Pánovej tváre.

13 (CPDV) So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
13 (KAT) Tak v ktorýsi deň jeho synovia a dcéry jedli a pili víno v dome svojho prvorodeného brata.

14 (CPDV) a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
14 (KAT) Tu prišiel k Jóbovi posol a zvestoval: „Kým so záprahmi orali a oslice sa pásli vedľa, vpadli Sabejci, ulúpili ich a paholkov pobili ostrím meča.

15 (CPDV) and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
15 (KAT) Ja jediný som unikol, aby som ti to oznámil.“

16 (CPDV) And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
16 (KAT) On ešte hovoril a už prichádzal iný a zvestoval: „Pánov oheň padol z neba, spálil ovce i valachov a pohltil ich. Ja jediný som unikol, aby som ti to oznámil.“

17 (CPDV) And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the 293 camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
17 (KAT) Aj on ešte hovoril a už prichádzal iný a zvestoval: „Chaldejci sa prihrnuli v troch tlupách, prepadli ťavy, ulúpili ich a pastierov pobili ostrím meča. Ja jediný som unikol, aby som ti to oznámil.“

18 (CPDV) He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
18 (KAT) Ani on ešte nedopovedal a už prichádzal iný a zvestoval: „Tvoji synovia a dcéry jedli a pili víno v dome svojho najstaršieho brata.

19 (CPDV) when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
19 (KAT) A hľa, od púšte sa strhla veľká víchrica, oprela sa o štyri uhly domu, takže sa zrútil na deti a zahynuli. Ja jediný som unikol, aby som ti to oznámil.“

20 (CPDV) Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
20 (KAT) Tu Jób vstal, roztrhol si odev, oholil si hlavu, padol na zem, klaňal sa

21 (CPDV) and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
21 (KAT) a povedal: „Nahý som vyšiel z lona svojej matky a nahý sa ta vrátim. Pán dal, Pán vzal, nech je Pánovo meno zvelebené!“

22 (CPDV) In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
22 (KAT) V tomto všetkom Jób nezhrešil a nevyriekol proti Bohu nič neprístojné.
