Job 1
1 Once there was a man called Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of integrity who did what was right. He respected God and avoided evil.
Oasr mwet se pangpang Job, su muta in acn Uz. El sie mwet su alu nu sin God, ac el arulana inse pwaye nu sel. El sie mwet na wo, ac el arulana karinganang tuh elan tia oru kutena ma koluk.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters.
Oasr wen itkosr ac acn tolu natul.
3 He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred teams of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, as well as many servants. He was more wealthy than anyone else in the East.
Oasr pac itkosr tausin sheep, tolu tausin camel, cow tausin se, ac donkey lumfoko natul. Oayapa oasr mwet kulansap puspis lal, ac el kasrup liki mwet nukewa ke facl ma oan kutulap in acn Canaan.
4 Job's sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes on their specific day, also inviting their sisters to come and eat and drink with them.
Kais sie wen itkosr natul Job inge ac muta orek kufwa, na tamulel uh kewa ac tuku nu kac, ac pacl nukewa elos ac suli pac tamtael tolu wialos in wi pac tuku nu kac.
5 When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and purify them by getting up early in the morning to offer a burnt offering for each of them. He was concerned, thinking to himself, “Maybe my children have sinned in some way and have unintentionally offended God.” This is what Job always did.
Ke lotu se tukun pacl in kufwa nukewa, Job el ac toangna tukakek ac orek kisa lun kais sie tulik inge in aknasnasyalosla. El oru ouinge mweyen el mu sahp sie selos tuh kaskas koluk lain God ke seasmak lal uh.
6 One day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan came with them.
Ke sun pacl se ma lipufan uh ac tuku nu ye mutun LEUM GOD, Satan el wi pac tuku.
7 The Lord asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Kom muta ya tuku?” Na Satan el topuk ac fahk, “Nga forfor na, rarauni faclu.”
8 “Have you paid attention to Job, my servant?” asked the Lord. “There's no one like him on earth, a man of integrity who does what is right, who respects God and avoids evil.”
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ya kom liyal Job, mwet kulansap luk ah? Wangin sie mwet fin faclu wo ac inse pwaye nu sik oana el. El alu nu sik ac arulana taran elan tia orala kutena ma koluk.”
9 “Is it for nothing that Job respects God?” Satan answered. “You've placed a protective fence around him and his family—in fact around everything he has.
Na Satan el fahk, “Ya Job el alu nu sum ke wangin?
10 You have blessed everything he does. His flocks and herds have increased so much they fill the whole land!
Kom nuna karinganul wi sou lal ac ma nukewa lal. Kom akinsewowoye ma nukewa el oru, ac kom sang cow na pus natul, ekoslana acn uh.
11 But if you reach out and take everything he has, he will definitely curse you to your face.”
Tusruktu kom fin eisla ma lal inge nukewa lukel, el ac ngetot nu sum ac selngawikomi!”
12 The Lord told Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to everything he has, but don't hurt him physically.” Then Satan left the Lord's presence.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Satan, “Kwal, ma nukewa lal Job oan inpoum, tusruktu taranna kom in tia oru kutena ma nu ke manol Job.” Ouinge Satan el som.
13 The day came when while Job's sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Sie len ah ke tulik natul Job elos tukeni ac orek kufwa in lohm sin wen se ma matu oemeet wialos ah,
14 a messenger came to Job and told him, “As the oxen were plowing and female donkeys were grazing nearby,
na mwet utuk kas se kasrusr tuku nu ke lohm sel Job ac fahk, “Kut tuh orekmakin ox uh in kihling acn ah, ac donkey ah muta inima se ma apkuran nu yen kut orekma we.
15 the Sabeans attacked and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
Na mwet Sabea elos tuku orek lokoalok, ac pisrala nufon kosro inge. Elos uniya nufon mwet kulansap lom, ac nga mukena kaingla ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
16 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and set the sheep and shepherds on fire and burned them up. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
Meet liki safla ma el fahk uh, sie pac mwet kulansap ah tuku ac fahk, “Sarom ah uniya sheep ac mwet karingin ah nufon. Nga mukena kaingla ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
17 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Three armed companies of Chaldeans attacked the camels and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
Na meet liki safla sramsram lal ah, sie pac mwet kulansap ah tuku ac fahk, “U tolu sin mwet Chaldea elos tuku orek lokoalok nu sesr ac usla camel uh, ac uniya mwet kulansap lom nukewa sayuk. Nga mukena kaingla ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
18 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother
El srakna sramsram, na sie pac mwet kulansap ah tuku ac fahk, “Tulik nutum ah orek kufwa in lohm sin wen matu se nutum ah,
19 when all of a sudden a tremendous wind came in from the desert. It hit the house on all four sides so that it collapsed on them and they died. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
na polo eng na upa se tuhme yen mwesis ah me. Eng sac ikruiya lohm sac twe onelosla nufon. Nga mukena kaingla tuku ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
20 Then Job stood up and tore his robe. Then cut off his hair and fell to the ground in worship.
Na Job el tuyak ac seya nuknuk lal ah ke asor. El kalla nufon aunsifal ac putati oankiyuki nu infohk uh.
21 “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I shall be naked when I leave,” he said. “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. May the Lord's name be honored.”
Ac el fahk, “Nga isusla pisinpo, ac nga ac misa pisinpo. LEUM GOD El tuh ase, na pa inge El sifil eisla. Lela Inel in kaksakinyuk!”
22 In all of this Job did not sin, nor blame God.
Ma upa inge nukewa ne sikyak nu sel Job, a el tiana tafongla ac sis nu fin God koluk uh.
