< Job 1 >

1 A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from evil.
II y avait dans le pays d’Ouç un homme du nom de Job; cet homme était intègre et droit, craignant Dieu et évitant le mal.
2 And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Il lui était né sept fils et trois filles.
3 And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people of [the] east.
Il possédait sept mille brebis, trois mille chameaux, cinq cents paires de bœufs, cinq cents ânesses et de très nombreux gens de service. Et cet homme était le plus considérable de tous les habitants de l’Orient.
4 And they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) to eat and to drink with them.
Ses fils avaient coutume d’organiser un festin dans la maison de chacun d’eux à tour de rôle; ils faisaient aussi convier leurs trois sœurs à manger et à boire avec eux.
5 And it was that they had gone round [the] days of the feast and he sent Job and he sanctified them and he rose early in the morning and he offered up burnt offerings [the] number of all of them for he said Job perhaps they have sinned children my and they have blessed God in heart their thus he did Job all the days.
Et lorsque le cycle de ces jours de festin était révolu, Job envoyait chercher ses fils pour les purifier; il se levait de grand matin et offrait un holocauste pour chacun d’eux, car Job se disait: "Peut-être mes enfants auront-ils commis quelque péché et renié Dieu en leur cœur." C’Est ainsi qu’agissait Job en tout temps.
6 And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them.
Or, un jour les fils de Dieu vinrent se présenter devant l’Eternel, et le Satan, lui aussi, vint au milieu d’eux.
7 And he said Yahweh to the adversary from where? are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
L’Eternel dit au Satan: "D’Où viens-tu?" Le Satan répondit au Seigneur et dit: "J’Ai visité la terre 'et l’ai parcourue en tous sens."
8 And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your on servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil.
L’Eternel demanda au Satan: "As-tu porté ton attention sur mon serviteur Job? Certes, il n’a point son pareil sur la terre, tellement il est un homme intègre et droit, craignant Dieu et évitant le mal."
9 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
Le Satan répliqua au Seigneur et dit: "Est-ce donc gratuitement que Job craint Dieu?
10 ¿ Not (you *Q(K)*) have you put a hedge behind him and behind house his and behind all that [belongs] to him from round about [the] work of hands his you have blessed and livestock his it has spread out in the land.
N’As-tu pas élevé comme une haie tutélaire autour de lui, de sa maison et de tout ce qui lui appartient? Tu as béni l’œuvre de ses mains, et ses troupeaux se répandent dans le pays.
11 And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
Or ça, étends une fois ta main et touche tout ce qui est à lui; tu verras s’il ne te reniera pas en face."
12 And he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.
L’Eternel répondit au Satan: "Eh bien! Tout ce qui lui appartient est en ton pouvoir; seulement, tu ne le toucheras pas lui-même." Et le Satan se retira de devant la face de l’Eternel.
13 And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
Un jour donc que les fils et les filles de Job mangeaient et buvaient du vin dans la maison de leur frère aîné,
14 And a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
un messager aborda Job et lui dit: "Les bœufs étaient en train de labourer et les ânesses paissaient à: côté d’eux,
15 And it fell Sabean[s] and it took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
quand les Sabéens ont fait irruption et les ont enlevés; quant aux esclaves, ils les ont passés au fil de l’épée; moi seul j’ai pu m’échapper et te l’annoncer."
16 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
Il n’avait pas achevé de parler qu’un autre survient et dit: "Un feu de Dieu est tombé du ciel, embrasant les brebis et les esclaves, et a tout consumé. Moi seul j’ai pu m’échapper et te l’annoncer."
17 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
Il parlait encore qu’un autre arrive et dit: "Des Chaldéens, ayant formé trois bandes, se sont jetés sur les chameaux et les ont enlevés; quant aux esclaves, ils les ont passés au fil de l’épée. Moi seul j’ai pu m’échapper et te l’annoncer."
18 Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
Il n’avait pas fini de parler qu’un autre survient et dit: "Tes fils et tes filles mangeaient et buvaient dans la maison de leur frère aîné,
19 And there! a wind great it came - from [the] other side of the wilderness and it touched [the] four [the] corners of the house and it fell on the youths and they died and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
et voilà qu’un vent violent, venant de l’autre côté du désert, a ébranlé les quatre angles de la maison; elle s’est écroulée sur les jeunes gens, et ils ont péri. Moi seul, j’ai pu m’échapper et te l’annoncer."
20 And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
Job se leva, déchira sa tunique, se rasa la tête, se jeta à terre et resta prosterné.
21 And he said naked (I came out *Q(k)*) from [the] womb of mother my and naked I will return there towards Yahweh he gave and Yahweh he has taken may it be [the] name of Yahweh blessed.
Il dit: "Nu je suis sorti du sein de ma mère, et nu j’y rentrerai. L’Eternel avait donné, l’Eternel a repris, que le nom de l’Eternel soit béni!"
22 In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
En dépit de tout, Job ne faillit point et n’imputa pas d’injustice à Dieu.
