And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people of [the] east.
4 Hans sønner pleide å holde gjestebud på hver sin dag i hver sitt hus, og de sendte da bud til sine tre søstre og innbød dem til å ete og drikke sammen med dem.
And they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) to eat and to drink with them.
5 Og så ofte en omgang av disse gjestebud var til ende, sendte Job bud efter dem og helliget dem; han stod tidlig op om morgenen og ofret brennoffer, ett for hver av dem; for Job sa: Kanskje mine sønner har syndet og sagt Gud farvel i sitt hjerte. Således gjorde Job alltid.
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 Så hendte det en dag at Guds sønner kom og stilte sig frem for Herren, og blandt dem kom også Satan.

7 Og Herren sa til Satan: Hvor kommer du fra? Satan svarte Herren: Jeg har faret og flakket omkring på jorden.
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.
8 Da sa Herren til Satan: Har du gitt akt på min tjener Job? For det er ingen på jorden som han - en ulastelig og rettskaffen mann, som frykter Gud og viker fra det onde.
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 Men Satan svarte Herren: Mon Job frykter Gud for intet?
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
10 Har du ikke hegnet om ham og om hans hus og om alt som hans er, på alle kanter? Hans henders gjerning har du velsignet, og hans hjorder har bredt sig vidt utover i landet.
¿ 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.
11 Men rekk bare ut din hånd og rør ved alt som hans er! Da vil han visselig si dig farvel like i ditt ansikt.
And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
12 Da sa Herren til Satan: Se, alt som hans er, er i din hånd; men mot ham selv må du ikke rekke ut din hånd. Så gikk Satan bort fra Herrens åsyn.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.

And a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
15 da kom sabeerne over dem og tok dem, og drengene hugg de ned med sverdet, og bare jeg alene slapp unda, så jeg kunde melde dig det.
And it fell Sabean[s] and it 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.
16 Mens han ennu talte, kom en annen og sa: Guds ild fór ned fra himmelen og rammet småfeet og drengene og brente dem op, bare jeg alene slapp unda, så jeg kunde melde dig det.
Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
17 Mens han ennu talte, kom en annen og sa: Kaldeerne delte sig i tre flokker og overfalt kamelene og tok dem, og drengene hugg de ned med sverdet, og bare jeg alene slapp unda, så jeg kunde melde dig det.

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 Da reiste Job sig og sønderrev sin kappe og klipte håret av sitt hode og kastet sig ned på jorden og tilbad
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 og sa: Naken kom jeg av min mors liv, og naken skal jeg vende dit tilbake. Herren gav, og Herren tok; Herrens navn være lovet!
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 Under alt dette syndet Job ikke, og han lastet ikke Gud for det som hadde hendt ham.
