< Job 1 >

1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
Adda maysa a lalaki iti daga ti Huz nga agnagan iti Job; ket awan ti pakababalawan ni Job ken nalinteg isuna, maysa a tao nga addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios ken tinallikudanna ti kinadakes.
2 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Addaan isuna iti pito a putot a lallaki ken tallo a putot a babbai,
3 And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.
Addaan isuna iti pito a ribu a karnero, tallo a ribu a kamelyo, lima gasut a pares ti baka, ken lima gasut nga asno ken nakaad-adu nga adipen. Daytoy a lalaki ti kababaknangan iti amin a tattao iti Daya.
4 His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.
Iti tunggal naituding nga aldaw dagiti tunggal putotna a lallaki, agpadaya isuna iti balayna ket mangibaonda ken paayabanda dagiti tallo a kakabsatda a babbai tapno kaduada a mangan ken uminom.
5 And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.
No malpas dagiti aldaw ti padaya, paayaban ni Job ida ket idatonna ida iti maminsan pay iti Dios. Bumangon isuna a nasapa iti bigat ket mangidatag iti daton a mapuoran amin nga agpaay iti tunggal maysa kadagiti putotna, ta kunana, “Nalabit a nagbasol dagiti putotko ket inlunodda ti Dios kadagiti pusoda.” Kankanayon nga ar-aramiden ni Job daytoy.
6 And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
Ket dimteng ti aldaw nga iparang dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios dagiti bagbagida iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket kadduada met ni Satanas a napan.
7 And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Sadino ti naggapuam?” Ket simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh, ket kinunana, “Manipud iti panagsursursor iti rabaw ti daga, ken manipud iti panagpagpagna nga agsubli-subli iti rabawna daytoy.”
8 And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Nakitam kadi ni Job nga adipenko? Ta awan iti kas kenkuana idiay daga, awan pakababalawanna ken nalinteg a tao, addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios ken taltallikudanna ti dakes.”
9 And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Is it for nothing that Job is a god-fearing man?
Ket simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Agbuteng kadi ni Job iti Dios nga awan iti gapgapuna?
10 Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?
Saan aya nga inaladam ti aglawlawna, ti aglawlaw ti balayna, ken ti aglawlaw iti amin nga adda kenkuana iti amin a sikigan? Binendisionam ti aramid dagiti imana, ken immadu dagiti sanikuana iti daga.
11 But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
Ngem iyunnatmo ta imam ita ket rautem dagiti amin a sanikuana, ket tallikudannakanto iti rupam.”
12 And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Kitaem, amin nga adda kenkuana ket adda iti pannakabalin ta imam; saanmo nga ipatay ti imam kenkuana.” Pimmanaw ngarud ni Satanas manipud iti presensiya ni Yahweh.
13 And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,
Napasamak nga iti maysa nga aldaw a dagiti putotna a lallaki ken babbai ket mangmangan ken umin-inom ti arak iti balay ti ina-una a kabsatda a lalaki,
14 And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:
napan ti maysa a mensahero kenni Job ket kinunana, “Agar-arado dagiti baka ken mangmangan dagiti asno iti abayda;
15 And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
dinarup ida dagiti Sabeo ket innalada dagitoy. Pudno, pinatayda dagiti adipen babaen iti tadem ti kampilan; siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
16 And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
Kabayatan nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, simmangpet pay ti maysa ket kinunana, “Nagtinnag ti apuy ti Dios manipud kadagiti langit ket pinuoranna dagiti karnero ken dagiti adipen; siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
17 And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
Kabayatan nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, simmangpet pay ti sabali ket kinunana, “Nagkatlo a bunggoy dagiti Caldeo, dinarupda dagiti kamelio, ket innalada dagitoy. Wen, ken pinatayda dagiti adipen babaen iti tadem ti kampilan, ket siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
18 And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,
Kabayatan nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, simmangpet pay ti sabali ket kinunana, “Mangmangan ken umin-inom ti arak dagiti putotmo a lallaki ken babbai idiay balay ti inauna a kabsatda a lalaki.
19 When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
Dimteng ti napigsa nga angin manipud iti let-ang ket dinuparna ti uppat a suli ti balay, ket narba daytoy kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki, ket natayda, ket siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
20 Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,
Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Job, rinay-abna ti kagayna, kinuskusanna ti ulona, nagpakleb iti daga, ket nagdayaw iti Dios.
21 With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.
Kinunana, “Rimmuarak a lamulamo manipud iti aanakan ti inak, ket agsubliak sadiay a lamulamo. Inted ni Yahweh, ket innala met laeng ni Yahweh; madaydayaw koma ti nagan ni Yahweh.”
22 In all this Job did no sin, and did not say that God's acts were foolish.
Iti amin dagitoy a banbanag, saan a nagbasol ni Job, wenno saanna a simamamaag a pinabasol ti Dios.
