< 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.
C’era nel paese di Uz un uomo che si chiamava Giobbe. Quest’uomo era integro e retto; temeva Iddio e fuggiva il male.
2 And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Gli erano nati sette figliuoli e tre figliuole;
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.
possedeva settemila pecore, tremila cammelli, cinquecento paia di bovi, cinquecento asine e una servitù molto numerosa. E quest’uomo era il più grande di tutti gli Orientali.
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.
I suoi figliuoli solevano andare gli uni dagli altri e darsi un convito, ciascuno nel suo giorno: e mandavano a chiamare le loro tre sorelle perché venissero a mangiare e a bere con loro.
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.
E quando la serie dei giorni di convito era finita Giobbe li faceva venire per purificarli; si levava di buon mattino, e offriva un olocausto per ciascun d’essi, perché diceva: “Può darsi che i miei figliuoli abbian peccato ed abbiano rinnegato Iddio in cuor loro”. E Giobbe faceva sempre così.
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 accadde un giorno, che i figliuoli di Dio vennero a presentarsi davanti all’Eterno, e Satana venne anch’egli in mezzo a loro.
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.
E l’Eterno disse a Satana: “Donde vieni?” E Satana rispose all’Eterno: “Dal percorrere la terra e dal passeggiare per essa”.
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.
E l’Eterno disse a Satana: “Hai tu notato il mio servo Giobbe? Non ce n’è un altro sulla terra che come lui sia integro, retto, tema Iddio e fugga il male”.
9 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
E Satana rispose all’Eterno: “E’ egli forse per nulla che Giobbe teme Iddio?
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.
Non l’hai tu circondato d’un riparo, lui, la sua casa, e tutto quel che possiede? Tu hai benedetto l’opera delle e mani, e il suo bestiame ricopre tutto il paese.
11 And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
Ma stendi un po’ la tua mano, tocca quanto egli possiede, e vedrai se non ti rinnega in faccia”.
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.
E l’Eterno disse a Satana: “Ebbene! tutto quello che possiede e in tuo potere; soltanto, non stender la mano sulla sua persona”. E Satana si ritirò dalla presenza dell’Eterno.
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.
Or accadde che un giorno, mentre suoi figliuoli e le sue figliuole mangiavano e bevevano del vino in casa del loro fratello maggiore, giunse a Giobbe un messaggero a dirgli:
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.
“I buoi stavano arando e le asine pascevano lì appresso,
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’ecco i Sabei son piombati loro addosso e li hanno portati via; hanno passato a fil di spada servitori, e io solo son potuto scampare per venire a dirtelo”.
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.
Quello parlava ancora, quando ne giunse un altro a dire: “Il fuoco di Dio e caduto dal cielo, ha colpito le pecore e i servitori, e li ha divorati; e io solo son potuto scampare per venire a dirtelo”.
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.
Quello parlava ancora, quando ne giunse un altro a dire: “I Caldei hanno formato tre bande, si son gettati sui cammelli e li han portati via; hanno passato a fil di spada i servitori, e io solo son potuto scampare per venire a dirtelo”.
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.
Quello parlava ancora, quando ne giunse un altro a dire: “I tuoi figliuoli e le tue figliuole mangiavano e bevevano del vino in casa del loro fratello maggiore;
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.
ed ecco che un gran vento, venuto dall’altra parte del deserto, ha investito i quattro canti della casa, ch’è caduta sui giovani; ed essi sono morti; e io solo son potuto scampare per venire a dirtelo”.
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.
Allora Giobbe si alzò e si stracciò il mantello e si rase il capo e si prostrò a terra e adorò e disse:
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.
“Nudo sono uscito dal seno di mia madre, e nudo tornerò in seno della terra; l’Eterno ha dato, l’Eterno ha tolto; sia benedetto il nome dell’Eterno”.
22 In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
In tutto questo Giobbe non peccò e non attribuì a Dio nulla di mal fatto.
