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.

¿ 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.

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.
18 O akĩaragia-rĩ, mũkinyia-ũhoro o ũngĩ agĩũka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ariũ na aarĩ aku mekũrĩĩaga, makĩnyuuaga ndibei kwa mũrũ wa nyina wao ũrĩa mũkũrũ;
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.
19 na rĩrĩ, o hĩndĩ ĩyo rũhuho rũnene rwahurutana ruumĩte werũ-inĩ, na ruo rwahũũra nyũmba ĩyo koine ciayo inya, yamomoka, yamagwĩra maakua; na no niĩ nyiki ndahonoka, ndagĩũka gũkũrehere ũhoro!”
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 Nake Ayubu aigua-ũhoro ũcio, akĩrũgama, agĩtembũranga nguo yake ya igũrũ, na akĩenjwo mũtwe. Agĩcooka akĩĩgũithia thĩ, akĩhooya Ngai,
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 akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ndoimire nda ya maitũ ndĩ njaga, na ngoima thĩ ĩno ndĩ njaga. Nĩ Jehova waheanire, na nĩ Jehova wacookera: rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrogoocwo.”
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 Thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, Ayubu ndaigana kwĩhia na ũndũ wa gũtuĩra Ngai mahĩtia.
In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
