Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
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 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Innis ilmaan torbaa fi intallan sadii qaba ture;
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children 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 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Ilmaan isaas mana isaaniitti dabaree dabareedhaan cidha qopheessanii akka isaan wajjin nyaatanii dhuganiif obboleettota isaanii sadan affeeru ture.
5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.
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 Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan also came among them.
Gaaf tokko yeroo ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufanitti Seexannis isaan wajjin dhufe.
7 Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
Waaqayyos seexanaan, “Ati Eessaa dhufte?” jedhe. Seexannis, “Ani lafa hunda irra jooraa, asii fi achis deddeebiʼaa tureen dhufe” jedhee Waaqayyoof deebise.
8 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”
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 Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
Seexanni immoo deebisee akkana jedhe, “Iyyoob akkasumaan Waaqa sodaataa?
10 Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work 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 your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
Garuu ati mee harka kee diriirsiitii waan inni qabu hunda dhaʼi; inni dhugumaan ifaan ifatti si abaara.”
12 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.
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 It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
Gaaf tokko utuu ilmaanii fi intallan Iyyoob mana obboleessa isaanii isa hangafaatti nyaachaa, daadhii wayinii dhugaa jiranuu,
14 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
ergamaan tokko gara Iyyoob dhufee akkana jedhe; “Utuu qotiyyoon qotaa, harroonni immoo naannuma sana dheedaa jiranuu,
15 and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
namoonni Shebaa balaa buusanii isaan fudhatanii deeman. Tajaajiltootas goraadeedhaan fixan; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!”
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Utuma inni dubbachaa jiruu ergamaan biraa dhufee, “Ibiddi Waaqaa samiidhaa buʼee hoolotaa fi tajaajiltoota gubee fixe; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!” jedhe.
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s 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 the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
Kana irratti Iyyoob uffata isaa tarsaasee mataa isaa haaddate. Lafatti gombifamee sagadee
21 He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”
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, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
Wantoota kanneen hunda keessatti Iyyoob hojii dogoggoraatiin Waaqa himachuudhaan cubbuu hin hojjenne.
