< Job 1 >

1 There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill.
Biyya Uuzi jedhamu keessa nama Iyyoob jedhamu tokkotu ture. Namichi kunis nama hirʼina hin qabnee fi qajeelaa, nama Waaqa sodaatuu fi hammina irraa fagaate ture.
2 And he had seue sonnes, and three daughters.
Innis ilmaan torbaa fi intallan sadii qaba ture;
3 His substance also was seuen thousande sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundreth yoke of oxen, and fiue hundreth shee asses, and his family was very great, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East.
akkasumas hoolota kuma torba, gaala kuma sadii, qotiyyoo cimdii dhibba shanii fi harroota dhibba shan, tajaajiltoota hedduus qaba ture; innis namoota biyya Baʼa Biiftuu jiraatan hunda keessaa nama guddaa ture.
4 And his sonnes went and banketted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent, and called their three sisters to eate and to drinke with them.
Ilmaan isaas mana isaaniitti dabaree dabareedhaan cidha qopheessanii akka isaan wajjin nyaatanii dhuganiif obboleettota isaanii sadan affeeru ture.
5 And when the dayes of their banketting were gone about, Iob sent, and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offred burnt offrings according to the nomber of them all. For Iob thought, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts: thus did Iob euery day.
Erga yeroon cidha sanaa raawwatamee booddee Iyyoob itti ergee ijoollee isaa waamsisuudhaan, “Tarii ijoolleen koo cubbuu hojjetanii garaa isaaniittis Waaqa abaaraniiru taʼa” jedhee ganama barii waaʼee tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuudhaan isaan qulqulleessa ture. Iyyoob yeroo hunda waan kana godha ture.
6 Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them.
Gaaf tokko yeroo ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufanitti Seexannis isaan wajjin dhufe.
7 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
Waaqayyos seexanaan, “Ati Eessaa dhufte?” jedhe. Seexannis, “Ani lafa hunda irra jooraa, asii fi achis deddeebiʼaa tureen dhufe” jedhee Waaqayyoof deebise.
8 And the Lord saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?
Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Ati tajaajilaa koo Iyyoobin qalbeeffatteertaa? Namni isa fakkaatu tokko illee lafa irra hin jiru; inni nama hirʼina hin qabnee fi qajeelaa, nama Waaqa sodaatuu fi hammina irraa fagaatee dha” jedhe.
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?
Seexanni immoo deebisee akkana jedhe, “Iyyoob akkasumaan Waaqa sodaataa?
10 Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Ati naannoo isaatti, warra mana isaa jiraatanii fi waan kan isaa taʼe hundatti dallaa ijaarteerta mitii? Ati akka bushaayee fi loon isaa biyyicha guutaniif hojii harka isaa eebbifteertaaf.
11 But stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
Garuu ati mee harka kee diriirsiitii waan inni qabu hunda dhaʼi; inni dhugumaan ifaan ifatti si abaara.”
12 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Kunoo, wanti inni qabu hundi si harka jira; isa garuu qubaanuu hin tuqin” jedhe. Sana booddee Seexanni fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee deeme.
13 And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
Gaaf tokko utuu ilmaanii fi intallan Iyyoob mana obboleessa isaanii isa hangafaatti nyaachaa, daadhii wayinii dhugaa jiranuu,
14 There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places,
ergamaan tokko gara Iyyoob dhufee akkana jedhe; “Utuu qotiyyoon qotaa, harroonni immoo naannuma sana dheedaa jiranuu,
15 And the Shabeans came violently, and tooke them: yea, they haue slayne the seruants with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
namoonni Shebaa balaa buusanii isaan fudhatanii deeman. Tajaajiltootas goraadeedhaan fixan; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!”
16 And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayde, The fire of God is fallen from the heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe and the seruants, and deuoured them: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
Utuma inni dubbachaa jiruu ergamaan biraa dhufee, “Ibiddi Waaqaa samiidhaa buʼee hoolotaa fi tajaajiltoota gubee fixe; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!” jedhe.
17 And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayd, The Caldeans set on three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue taken them, and haue slayne the seruantes with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
Utuu inni dubbachaa jiruu ammas ergamaan biraa dhufee, “Kaldoonni garee sadiitti qoodamanii gaalawwan kee irra yaaʼanii isaan oofatanii deeman; tajaajiltootas goraadeedhaan fixan; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!” jedhe.
18 And whiles he was yet speaking, came an other, and sayd, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
Utuma inni dubbachaa jiruu ergamaan biraa dhufee akkana jedheen; “Ilmaanii fi intallan kee mana obboleessa isaanii isa hangafaatti nyaachaa, daadhii wayinii dhugaa turan;
19 And behold, there came a great wind from beyonde the wildernesse, and smote the foure corners of the house, which fel vpon the children, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
yeroo kanattis bubbee hamaan akka tasaa gammoojjiidhaa kaʼee golee mana sanaa afran dhaʼe; manni sunis isaan irratti jigee dhuman; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!”
20 Then Iob arose, and rent his garment, and shaued his head, and fel downe vpon the ground, and worshipped,
Kana irratti Iyyoob uffata isaa tarsaasee mataa isaa haaddate. Lafatti gombifamee sagadee
21 And sayd, Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I returne thither: the Lord hath giuen, and the Lord hath taken it: blessed be the Name of the Lord.
akkana jedhe: “Ani qullaa koon gadameessa haadha kootiitii baʼe; qullaa koos nan deema. Waaqayyotu kenne; Waaqayyotu fudhate; maqaan Waaqayyoo haa eebbifamu.”
22 In all this did not Iob sinne, nor charge God foolishly.
Wantoota kanneen hunda keessatti Iyyoob hojii dogoggoraatiin Waaqa himachuudhaan cubbuu hin hojjenne.
