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.
2 Il lui naquit sept fils et trois filles.
And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Il possédait sept mille brebis, trois mille chameaux, cinq cents paires de bœufs, cinq cent ânesses et un très grand nombre de serviteurs; et cet homme était le plus grand de tous les fils de l’Orient.
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.
4 Ses fils avaient coutume d’aller les uns chez les autres et de se donner un festin, chacun à leur tour, et ils envoyaient inviter leurs trois sœurs à venir manger et boire avec eux.
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.
5 Et, quand le cercle des festins était fini, Job envoyait chercher ses fils et les purifiait; puis il se levait de bon matin et offrait un holocauste pour chacun d’eux, car il se disait: « Peut-être mes fils ont-ils péché et offensé Dieu dans leur cœur!... » Et Job faisait ainsi chaque fois.
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.
6 Il arriva un jour que, les fils de Dieu étant venus se présenter devant Yahweh, Satan vint aussi au milieu d’eux.
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.
7 Et Yahweh dit à Satan: « D’où viens-tu? » Satan répondit à Yahweh et dit: « De parcourir le monde et de m’y promener. »
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.
8 Yahweh dit à Satan: « As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n’y a pas d’homme comme lui sur la terre, intègre, droit, craignant Dieu et éloigné du mal. »
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.
9 Satan répondit à Yahweh: « Est-ce gratuitement que Job craint Dieu?
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
10 Ne l’as-tu pas entouré comme d’une clôture, lui, sa maison et tout ce qui lui appartient? Tu as béni l’œuvre de ses mains, et ses troupeaux couvrent le pays.
¿ 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.
11 Mais étends la main, touche à tout ce qui lui appartient, et on verra s’il ne te maudit pas en face! »
And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
12 Yahweh dit à Satan: « Voici, tout ce qui lui appartient est en ton pouvoir; seulement ne porte pas la main sur lui. » Et Satan se retira de devant la face de Yahweh.
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.
13 Or un jour que ses fils et ses filles mangeaient et buvaient du vin dans la maison de leur frère aîné,
And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
14 un messager vint dire à Job: « Les bœufs étaient à labourer et les ânesses paissaient autour d’eux;
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.
15 tout à coup les Sabéens sont survenus et les ont enlevés. Ils ont passé les serviteurs au fil de l’épée, et je me suis échappé seul pour te l’annoncer. »
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.
16 Il parlait encore, lorsqu’un autre arriva et dit: « Le feu de Dieu est tombé du ciel; il a embrasé les brebis et les serviteurs et les a dévorés, et je me suis échappé seul pour te l’annoncer. »
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.
17 Il parlait encore, lorsqu’un autre arriva et dit: « Les Chaldéens, partagés en trois bandes, se sont jetés sur les chameaux et les ont enlevés. Ils ont passé les serviteurs au fil de l’épée, et je me suis échappé seul pour te l’annoncer. »
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.

19 et voilà qu’un grand vent s’est élevé de l’autre côté du désert et a saisi les quatre coins de la maison; elle s’est écroulée sur les jeunes gens, et ils sont morts, et je me suis échappé seul pour te l’annoncer. »
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.
20 Alors Job se leva, il déchira son manteau et se rasa la tête; puis, se jetant par terre, il adora
And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
21 et dit: « Nu je suis sorti du sein de ma mère, et nu j’y retournerai. Yahweh a donné, Yahweh a ôté; que le nom de Yahweh soit béni! »
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.
22 En tout cela, Job ne pécha pas et ne dit rien d’insensé contre Dieu.
