Job 1
1 Oasr mwet se pangpang Job, su muta in acn Uz. El sie mwet su alu nu sin God, ac el arulana inse pwaye nu sel. El sie mwet na wo, ac el arulana karinganang tuh elan tia oru kutena ma koluk.
In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil.
2 Oasr wen itkosr ac acn tolu natul.
He had seven sons and three daughters.
3 Oasr pac itkosr tausin sheep, tolu tausin camel, cow tausin se, ac donkey lumfoko natul. Oayapa oasr mwet kulansap puspis lal, ac el kasrup liki mwet nukewa ke facl ma oan kutulap in acn Canaan.
His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of the East.
4 Kais sie wen itkosr natul Job inge ac muta orek kufwa, na tamulel uh kewa ac tuku nu kac, ac pacl nukewa elos ac suli pac tamtael tolu wialos in wi pac tuku nu kac.
Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Ke lotu se tukun pacl in kufwa nukewa, Job el ac toangna tukakek ac orek kisa lun kais sie tulik inge in aknasnasyalosla. El oru ouinge mweyen el mu sahp sie selos tuh kaskas koluk lain God ke seasmak lal uh.
And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Ke sun pacl se ma lipufan uh ac tuku nu ye mutun LEUM GOD, Satan el wi pac tuku.
Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them.
7 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Kom muta ya tuku?” Na Satan el topuk ac fahk, “Nga forfor na, rarauni faclu.”
And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
8 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ya kom liyal Job, mwet kulansap luk ah? Wangin sie mwet fin faclu wo ac inse pwaye nu sik oana el. El alu nu sik ac arulana taran elan tia orala kutena ma koluk.”
And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil?
9 Na Satan el fahk, “Ya Job el alu nu sum ke wangin?
Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
10 Kom nuna karinganul wi sou lal ac ma nukewa lal. Kom akinsewowoye ma nukewa el oru, ac kom sang cow na pus natul, ekoslana acn uh.
Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the land.
11 Tusruktu kom fin eisla ma lal inge nukewa lukel, el ac ngetot nu sum ac selngawikomi!”
But only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
12 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Satan, “Kwal, ma nukewa lal Job oan inpoum, tusruktu taranna kom in tia oru kutena ma nu ke manol Job.” Ouinge Satan el som.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 Sie len ah ke tulik natul Job elos tukeni ac orek kufwa in lohm sin wen se ma matu oemeet wialos ah,
Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
14 na mwet utuk kas se kasrusr tuku nu ke lohm sel Job ac fahk, “Kut tuh orekmakin ox uh in kihling acn ah, ac donkey ah muta inima se ma apkuran nu yen kut orekma we.
when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
15 Na mwet Sabea elos tuku orek lokoalok, ac pisrala nufon kosro inge. Elos uniya nufon mwet kulansap lom, ac nga mukena kaingla ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 Meet liki safla ma el fahk uh, sie pac mwet kulansap ah tuku ac fahk, “Sarom ah uniya sheep ac mwet karingin ah nufon. Nga mukena kaingla ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 Na meet liki safla sramsram lal ah, sie pac mwet kulansap ah tuku ac fahk, “U tolu sin mwet Chaldea elos tuku orek lokoalok nu sesr ac usla camel uh, ac uniya mwet kulansap lom nukewa sayuk. Nga mukena kaingla ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 El srakna sramsram, na sie pac mwet kulansap ah tuku ac fahk, “Tulik nutum ah orek kufwa in lohm sin wen matu se nutum ah,
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
19 na polo eng na upa se tuhme yen mwesis ah me. Eng sac ikruiya lohm sac twe onelosla nufon. Nga mukena kaingla tuku ngan tuh fahkot nu sum.”
and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Na Job el tuyak ac seya nuknuk lal ah ke asor. El kalla nufon aunsifal ac putati oankiyuki nu infohk uh.
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
21 Ac el fahk, “Nga isusla pisinpo, ac nga ac misa pisinpo. LEUM GOD El tuh ase, na pa inge El sifil eisla. Lela Inel in kaksakinyuk!”
and said, Naked came I forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
22 Ma upa inge nukewa ne sikyak nu sel Job, a el tiana tafongla ac sis nu fin God koluk uh.
In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.
