1 Dunu afae ea dio amo Yoube e da Ase soge ganodini esalu. E da Godema nodone sia: ne gadolalu amola mae fisili Ema fa: no bobogelalu. Ea hou da noga: i amola e da wadela: i hamosu hame dawa: i.
There was a man in the land of 'Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing evil.
2 E da dunu mano fesuale amola uda mano udiana esalu.
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 E da sibi 7000, ga: mele 3000, bulamagau 1000 amola dougi500agoane gagui galu. E da hawa: hamosu dunu bagohame ouligisu, amola ea gagui da dunu huluane eso maba gusudili soge ganodini esalu, ilia gagui amo baligi dagoi.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.
4 Yoube egefelali ilia da higagale lolo nasu hamosu. Amola Yoube ea mano oda ilia da amoga masu. Amola ilia dalusilali misa: ne hiougisu.
And his sons used to go and prepare a feast in the house of every one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Lolo nanu gesafo, Yoube da hahabedafa wa: legadole, ea mano ilia wadela: i hou dodofema: ne, gobele salasu hamonanusu. Bai ea mano afae da mae dawa: iwane Godema gadesu hamosa: besa: le, e da agoane hamosu.
And it happened, when the days of the feast were gone round, that Job sent and sanctified them, and he then rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of all of them; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their heart. In this manner used Job to do all the time.
6 Eso amoga Hebene ganodini esalebe a: silibu da Hina Gode midadi doaga: loba, Sa: ida: ne da ili gilisili manebe ba: i.
Now it happened on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them.
7 Hina Gode da Sa: ida: nema amane adole ba: i, “Di da adi hamonanula: ?” Sa: ida: ne da bu adole i, “Na da goeguda: amola goega huluane, osobo bagade sisiga: sa lalu.”
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.
8 Hina Gode da amane adole ba: i, “Di da Na hawa: hamosu dunu Yoube amo dia ba: bela: ? Dunu osobo bagade ganodini fi noga: le fa: no bobogesu dunu e agoai da hame. E da Nama fawane sia: ne gadosa, amola e da wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, dawa: iwane Nama fa: no bobogelala.”
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job; for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Sa: ida: ne da bu adole i, “Yoube da Dima bidi hame lasea, e da Dima nodone sia: ne gadoma: bela: ?
Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
10 Di da eso huluane, e amola ea sosogo amola ea gagui huluane, amo noga: le gaga: lala. Dia da ea hawa: hamosu huluane nodoma: ne hamosa. Amola di da soge huluane nabama: ne, bulamagau bagohamedafa ema i.
Behold, thou hast indeed placed a fence about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side: the work of his hands hast thou blessed, and his cattle are far spread out in the land.
11 Be Di da ea gagui huluane bu samogesea, e da Dia odagia gagabusu aligima: mu!”
But stretch only forth thy hand and touch all that he hath, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
12 Hina Gode da Sa: ida: nema amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da liligi huluane ea gagui amo dia lobo da: iya ligisisa. Be Yoube ea da: i hodo mae se nabasima!” Amalalu, Sa: ida: ne da fisili asi.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, all that is his be in thy power; only against himself shalt thou not stretch forth thy hand. The Accuser went thereupon away from the presence of the Lord.
13 Eso afaega, Yoube ea mano ilia da ilia ola magobo ea diasuga lolo nanu.
And it happened on a certain day, when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
14 Sia: adola ahoasu dunu afae da hehenaia misini, Youbema doaga: le, amane sia: i, “Ninia da bugia osobo gidinasu bulamagauga bagesili osobo dogonanu. Dia dougi ilia gisi soge gadenene esalebe ba: i.
That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding beside them:
15 Hedolodafa, Sa: bia: ne dunu da ninima doagala: le, dougi huluane wamolai dagoi. Ilia da dia hawa: hamosu dunu huluane medole lelegei. Na fawane da hobea: i. Na fawane da hobeale misini, dima adosa.”
When the Sabeans made an incursion, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
16 Ea sia: da hame dagoiawane, hawa: hamosu dunu enowane misini, amane sia: i, “Ha: ha: na bagade gala: le, sibi huluane amola sibi ouligisu dunu huluane amo medole lelegei dagoi. Na fawane da mae bogole, hobeale misini, dima adola misi.”
This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, A fire of God fell from heaven, and burnt among the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
17 Ea sia: da hame dagoiawane, hawa: hamosu dunu enowane misini, amane sia: i, “Ga: ledia: ne gilisisu udiana ilia da ninima doagala: le, ga: mele huluane sasamogene, dia hawa: hamosu dunu huluane fane lelegei. Be na fawane da hobeale misini, dima adola misi.”
This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, The Chaldeans posted themselves in three divisions, and made an inroad against the camels, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
18 Ea sia: da hame dagoiawane, hawa: hamosu dunu enowane misini, Youbema amane sia: i, “Dia mano da dia magobo mano ea diasuga lolo nanu.
While this one was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother:
19 Amalalu, hafoga: i sogeganini, mulu bagade da misini, diasu mugululi, dia mano huluane amoga bogogia: i. Na fawane da mae bogole, hobeale misini, dima adola misi.”
When, behold, a violent wind came from the direction of the wilderness, and struck against the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
20 Amalalu, Yoube da wa: legadole, da: i dioiba: le, hina: abula gagadelale sali. E da dialuma gesele, odagi guduli, osobo da: iya gala: la sa: i.
Then arose Job, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and prostrated himself.
21 E da amane sia: i, “Na da da: i nabadowane lalelegei, amola na da da: i nabadowane bogole masunu. Hina Gode da liligi huluane Nama i galu, be wali Hi bu lai. Ea Dio amoma nodone sia: mu da defea.”
And he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; may the name of the Lord be blessed.
22 Yoube ema se nabasu bagadedafa doaga: i. Be amomane, e da Godema bai sia: ne wadela: le hame hamoi.
With all this did Job not sin, and attributed no injustice to God.
