5 Et quand les jours de festin étaient passés, Job appelait et sanctifiait ses fils, puis il se levait de bon matin et offrait pour chacun d’eux un holocauste; car Job disait: Peut-être mes fils ont-ils péché et ont-ils offensé Dieu dans leur cœur. C’est ainsi que Job avait coutume d’agir.
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 Or, les fils de Dieu vinrent un jour se présenter devant l’Éternel, et Satan vint aussi au milieu d’eux.

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 Et Satan répondit à l’Éternel: Est-ce d’une manière désintéressée 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 protégé, lui, sa maison, et tout ce qui est à lui? 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.

16 Il parlait encore, lorsqu’un autre vint et dit: Le feu de Dieu est tombé du ciel, a embrasé les brebis et les serviteurs, et les a consumés. Et je me suis échappé moi seul, pour t’en apporter la nouvelle.

19 et voici, un grand vent est venu de l’autre côté du désert, et a frappé contre les quatre coins de la maison; elle s’est écroulée sur les jeunes gens, et ils sont morts. Et je me suis échappé moi seul, pour t’en apporter la nouvelle.
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, déchira son manteau, et se rasa la tête; puis, se jetant par terre, il se prosterna,
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: Je suis sorti nu du sein de ma mère, et nu je retournerai dans le sein de la terre. L’Éternel a donné, et l’Éternel a ôté; que le nom de l’Éternel 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 point et n’attribua rien d’injuste à Dieu.
In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
