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.
In the land named Uz, there was a man named Job. He was a very godly/righteous [DOU] man, who greatly respected/revered God and always avoided doing evil things.
2 E da dunu mano fesuale amola uda mano udiana esalu.
He had 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.
He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was the richest man in all the area east [of the Jordan River].
4 Yoube egefelali ilia da higagale lolo nasu hamosu. Amola Yoube ea mano oda ilia da amoga masu. Amola ilia dalusilali misa: ne hiougisu.
Each year, Job’s sons made feasts [in their houses] to celebrate their birthdays. Whenever each one made a feast, he would invite [all his brothers and] his three sisters to come and eat together.
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.
When each celebration ended, Job would summon them. He would get up early in the morning and kill animals and burn them on the altar as sacrifices, one for each of his children. He said to himself, “Perhaps [one of] my sons has sinned and said something evil about God in his heart.”
6 Eso amoga Hebene ganodini esalebe a: silibu da Hina Gode midadi doaga: loba, Sa: ida: ne da ili gilisili manebe ba: i.
One day, the angels came and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
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.”
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
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.”
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he always avoids doing evil things. There is no one else on the earth like him.”
9 Sa: ida: ne da bu adole i, “Yoube da Dima bidi hame lasea, e da Dima nodone sia: ne gadoma: bela: ?
Satan replied to Yahweh, “[What you say is true], but Job greatly respects you [only] because of what [you have done for him] [RHQ].
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.
You have always [RHQ] protected [MET] him and his family and everything that he owns. You have made him very prosperous/rich. He has livestock all over this land.
11 Be Di da ea gagui huluane bu samogesea, e da Dia odagia gagabusu aligima: mu!”
But if you take away [MTY] everything that he has, he will curse you openly. [IDM]”
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.
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), I will permit you to take away everything that he has. But do not harm him.” Then Satan left, [and he prepared to cause many disastrous things to happen to Job].
13 Eso afaega, Yoube ea mano ilia da ilia ola magobo ea diasuga lolo nanu.
One day [after that], Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the home of their oldest 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.
While they were doing that, a messenger arrived at Job’s home and said to him, “While your oxen were plowing [the fields] and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
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.”
a group of men from [the] Sheba [area] came and attacked us. They killed all your servants [who were working in the fields] and took away all the oxen and donkeys! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you what happened.”
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.”
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Lightning from the sky [MTY] struck and killed all the sheep and all the men who were taking care of the sheep! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
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.”
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Three groups [of robbers/bandits] from Chaldea [land] came and attacked us. They stole all the camels and killed all the men who were taking care of them. I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
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 he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived and reported this to Job: “Your sons and daughters were feasting in the home of their oldest 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.”
Suddenly a (very strong wind/tornado) came from the desert and struck the house. The house collapsed on your sons and daughters and killed them all! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
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.
Job stood up, and tore his robe and shaved his head [because he was very sad/grieved]. Then he prostrated himself on the ground [to worship God].
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.”
He said, “When I was born, I had no clothes on. When I die, I will not take any clothes with me. Yahweh gave me [everything that I possessed], and [now] he has taken it all away. But (we should/I will) always praise Yahweh [anyway]! [MTY]”
22 Yoube ema se nabasu bagadedafa doaga: i. Be amomane, e da Godema bai sia: ne wadela: le hame hamoi.
In spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not sin by saying that what God had done was wrong.
