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.
In the land named Uz, there was a man named Job. He was a very godly/righteous [DOU] man, who greatly respected/revered God and always avoided doing evil things.
2 Addaan isuna iti pito a putot a lallaki ken tallo a putot a babbai,
He had 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.
He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was the richest man in all the area east [of the Jordan River].
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.
Each year, Job’s sons made feasts [in their houses] to celebrate their birthdays. Whenever each one made a feast, he would invite [all his brothers and] his three sisters to come and eat together.
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.
When each celebration ended, Job would summon them. He would get up early in the morning and kill animals and burn them on the altar as sacrifices, one for each of his children. He said to himself, “Perhaps [one of] my sons has sinned and said something evil about God in his heart.”
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.
One day, the angels came and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
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.”
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
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.”
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he always avoids doing evil things. There is no one else on the earth like him.”
9 Ket simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Agbuteng kadi ni Job iti Dios nga awan iti gapgapuna?
Satan replied to Yahweh, “[What you say is true], but Job greatly respects you [only] because of what [you have done for him] [RHQ].
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.
You have always [RHQ] protected [MET] him and his family and everything that he owns. You have made him very prosperous/rich. He has livestock all over this land.
11 Ngem iyunnatmo ta imam ita ket rautem dagiti amin a sanikuana, ket tallikudannakanto iti rupam.”
But if you take away [MTY] everything that he has, he will curse you openly. [IDM]”
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.
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), I will permit you to take away everything that he has. But do not harm him.” Then Satan left, [and he prepared to cause many disastrous things to happen to Job].
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,
One day [after that], Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the home of their oldest brother.
14 napan ti maysa a mensahero kenni Job ket kinunana, “Agar-arado dagiti baka ken mangmangan dagiti asno iti abayda;
While they were doing that, a messenger arrived at Job’s home and said to him, “While your oxen were plowing [the fields] and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 dinarup ida dagiti Sabeo ket innalada dagitoy. Pudno, pinatayda dagiti adipen babaen iti tadem ti kampilan; siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
a group of men from [the] Sheba [area] came and attacked us. They killed all your servants [who were working in the fields] and took away all the oxen and donkeys! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you what happened.”
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.”
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Lightning from the sky [MTY] struck and killed all the sheep and all the men who were taking care of the sheep! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
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.”
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Three groups [of robbers/bandits] from Chaldea [land] came and attacked us. They stole all the camels and killed all the men who were taking care of them. I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
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 he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived and reported this to Job: “Your sons and daughters were feasting in the home of their oldest 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.”
Suddenly a (very strong wind/tornado) came from the desert and struck the house. The house collapsed on your sons and daughters and killed them all! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
20 Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Job, rinay-abna ti kagayna, kinuskusanna ti ulona, nagpakleb iti daga, ket nagdayaw iti Dios.
Job stood up, and tore his robe and shaved his head [because he was very sad/grieved]. Then he prostrated himself on the ground [to worship God].
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.”
He said, “When I was born, I had no clothes on. When I die, I will not take any clothes with me. Yahweh gave me [everything that I possessed], and [now] he has taken it all away. But (we should/I will) always praise Yahweh [anyway]! [MTY]”
22 Iti amin dagitoy a banbanag, saan a nagbasol ni Job, wenno saanna a simamamaag a pinabasol ti Dios.
In spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not sin by saying that what God had done was wrong.
