Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.
Te gen yon mesye nan peyi Uts ki te rele Job. Nonm sa a te san repwòch, dwat, te gen lakrent Bondye e te vire kite tout mal.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Sèt fis ak twa fi te fèt a li menm.
3 And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.
Byen li te monte a sèt-mil mouton, twa-mil chamo, senk-san bèf kabwèt, senk-san femèl bourik ak anpil sèvitè. Nonm sila a se te pi gran òm nan tout pati lès la.
4 And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Fis li yo te konn ale fè yon fèt lakay a yo chak, selon jou fèt pa li a, e yo te konn envite twa sè yo pou manje e bwè avèk yo.
5 And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Lè jou a fèt yo te fini, Job ta voye konsakre yo, nan leve granmmaten pou ofri ofrann brile selon fòs kantite a yo tout. Paske Job te di: “Petèt fis mwen yo te peche, e te modi Bondye nan kè yo.” Konsa Job te fè tout tan.
6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.
Alò, te rive yon jou lè fis a Bondye yo te vin prezante yo menm devan Bondye, e Satan osi, te rive pami yo.
7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Depi kibò ou sòti?” Konsa, Satan te reponn SENYÈ a epi te di: “Soti pwomennen sou latè a, e mache toupatou sou li.”
8 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?
SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Èske ou remake sèvitè mwen an, Job? Paske nanpwen okenn tankou li sou latè, yon nonm san repwòch ki gen lakrent Bondye, e ki vire kite mal.”
9 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Satan te reponn SENYÈ a: “Èske Job gen lakrent Bondye pou granmesi?
10 Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land.
Èske Ou pa t fè yon kloti antoure li avèk lakay li avèk tout sa li genyen sou chak kote? Ou te beni zèv men li yo, e byen li grandi anpil nan peyi a.
11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Men lonje men Ou depi koulye a, touche tout sa li posede. Anverite li va modi Ou menm devan figi Ou.”
12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Gade byen, tout sa li genyen sou pouvwa ou. Sèlman pa lonje men ou sou kò li.” Konsa, Satan te pati devan prezans SENYÈ a.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Alò, nan jou ke fis li avèk fi li yo t ap manje ak bwè diven lakay pi gran frè a,
14 And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them;
yon mesaje te rive kote Job. Li te di: “Bèf yo t ap raboure, e bourik yo t ap manje akote yo,
15 and [they of] Sheba fell [upon them] and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
men konsa, Sabeyen yo te atake vin pran yo. Anplis, yo te touye sèvitè yo ak lam nepe, e se sèl mwen ki te chape pou di ou sa.”
16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Pandan li te toujou ap pale, yon lòt osi te rive pou l te di: “Dife Bondye te tonbe soti nan syèl la, e te brile tout mouton avèk sèvitè yo. Li te manje yo nèt e se mwen sèl ki te chape pou di ou sa.”
17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Pandan li te toujou ap pale, yon lòt osi te rive epi te di: “Kaldeyen yo te fòme twa bann pou vin desann sou chamo yo. Yo te pran yo, e touye sèvitè yo avèk lanm nepe. Se mwen sèl ki chape pou di ou sa.”
18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;
Pandan li te toujou ap pale, yon lòt osi te rive epi te di: “Fis ou yo avèk fi ou yo t ap manje ak bwè diven lakay pi gran frè a,
19 and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
epi men vwala, yo gwo van te travèse dezè a pou frape kat kwen kay la. Li te tonbe sou jenn moun sa yo epi yo te mouri. Se mwen sèl ki te chape pou vin di ou sa.”
20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;
Konsa Job te leve. Li te chire vètman li, te pase razwa nan tèt li e te tonbe atè pou l te adore.
21 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
Li te di: “Toutouni mwen te sòti nan vant manman m e toutouni mwen va retounen la. SENYÈ a te bay, e SENYÈ a pran. Beni se non SENYÈ a.”
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.
Pandan tout sa, Job pa t fè peche, ni li pa t bay repwòch a Bondye.
