< Job 1 >

1 Adda maysa a lalaki iti daga ti Huz nga agnagan iti Job; ket awan ti pakababalawan ni Job ken nalinteg isuna, maysa a tao nga addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios ken tinallikudanna ti kinadakes.
There was a man in the land of 'Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing evil.
2 Addaan isuna iti pito a putot a lallaki ken tallo a putot a babbai,
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Addaan isuna iti pito a ribu a karnero, tallo a ribu a kamelyo, lima gasut a pares ti baka, ken lima gasut nga asno ken nakaad-adu nga adipen. Daytoy a lalaki ti kababaknangan iti amin a tattao iti Daya.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.
4 Iti tunggal naituding nga aldaw dagiti tunggal putotna a lallaki, agpadaya isuna iti balayna ket mangibaonda ken paayabanda dagiti tallo a kakabsatda a babbai tapno kaduada a mangan ken uminom.
And his sons used to go and prepare a feast in the house of every one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 No malpas dagiti aldaw ti padaya, paayaban ni Job ida ket idatonna ida iti maminsan pay iti Dios. Bumangon isuna a nasapa iti bigat ket mangidatag iti daton a mapuoran amin nga agpaay iti tunggal maysa kadagiti putotna, ta kunana, “Nalabit a nagbasol dagiti putotko ket inlunodda ti Dios kadagiti pusoda.” Kankanayon nga ar-aramiden ni Job daytoy.
And it happened, when the days of the feast were gone round, that Job sent and sanctified them, and he then rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of all of them; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their heart. In this manner used Job to do all the time.
6 Ket dimteng ti aldaw nga iparang dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios dagiti bagbagida iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket kadduada met ni Satanas a napan.
Now it happened on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them.
7 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Sadino ti naggapuam?” Ket simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh, ket kinunana, “Manipud iti panagsursursor iti rabaw ti daga, ken manipud iti panagpagpagna nga agsubli-subli iti rabawna daytoy.”
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.
8 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Nakitam kadi ni Job nga adipenko? Ta awan iti kas kenkuana idiay daga, awan pakababalawanna ken nalinteg a tao, addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios ken taltallikudanna ti dakes.”
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job; for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Ket simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Agbuteng kadi ni Job iti Dios nga awan iti gapgapuna?
Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
10 Saan aya nga inaladam ti aglawlawna, ti aglawlaw ti balayna, ken ti aglawlaw iti amin nga adda kenkuana iti amin a sikigan? Binendisionam ti aramid dagiti imana, ken immadu dagiti sanikuana iti daga.
Behold, thou hast indeed placed a fence about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side: the work of his hands hast thou blessed, and his cattle are far spread out in the land.
11 Ngem iyunnatmo ta imam ita ket rautem dagiti amin a sanikuana, ket tallikudannakanto iti rupam.”
But stretch only forth thy hand and touch all that he hath, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
12 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Kitaem, amin nga adda kenkuana ket adda iti pannakabalin ta imam; saanmo nga ipatay ti imam kenkuana.” Pimmanaw ngarud ni Satanas manipud iti presensiya ni Yahweh.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, all that is his be in thy power; only against himself shalt thou not stretch forth thy hand. The Accuser went thereupon away from the presence of the Lord.
13 Napasamak nga iti maysa nga aldaw a dagiti putotna a lallaki ken babbai ket mangmangan ken umin-inom ti arak iti balay ti ina-una a kabsatda a lalaki,
And it happened on a certain day, when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
14 napan ti maysa a mensahero kenni Job ket kinunana, “Agar-arado dagiti baka ken mangmangan dagiti asno iti abayda;
That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding beside them:
15 dinarup ida dagiti Sabeo ket innalada dagitoy. Pudno, pinatayda dagiti adipen babaen iti tadem ti kampilan; siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
When the Sabeans made an incursion, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
16 Kabayatan nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, simmangpet pay ti maysa ket kinunana, “Nagtinnag ti apuy ti Dios manipud kadagiti langit ket pinuoranna dagiti karnero ken dagiti adipen; siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, A fire of God fell from heaven, and burnt among the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
17 Kabayatan nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, simmangpet pay ti sabali ket kinunana, “Nagkatlo a bunggoy dagiti Caldeo, dinarupda dagiti kamelio, ket innalada dagitoy. Wen, ken pinatayda dagiti adipen babaen iti tadem ti kampilan, ket siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, The Chaldeans posted themselves in three divisions, and made an inroad against the camels, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
18 Kabayatan nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, simmangpet pay ti sabali ket kinunana, “Mangmangan ken umin-inom ti arak dagiti putotmo a lallaki ken babbai idiay balay ti inauna a kabsatda a lalaki.
While this one was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother:
19 Dimteng ti napigsa nga angin manipud iti let-ang ket dinuparna ti uppat a suli ti balay, ket narba daytoy kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki, ket natayda, ket siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
When, behold, a violent wind came from the direction of the wilderness, and struck against the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
20 Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Job, rinay-abna ti kagayna, kinuskusanna ti ulona, nagpakleb iti daga, ket nagdayaw iti Dios.
Then arose Job, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and prostrated himself.
21 Kinunana, “Rimmuarak a lamulamo manipud iti aanakan ti inak, ket agsubliak sadiay a lamulamo. Inted ni Yahweh, ket innala met laeng ni Yahweh; madaydayaw koma ti nagan ni Yahweh.”
And he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; may the name of the Lord be blessed.
22 Iti amin dagitoy a banbanag, saan a nagbasol ni Job, wenno saanna a simamamaag a pinabasol ti Dios.
With all this did Job not sin, and attributed no injustice to God.
