Iyyoob 1
1 Biyya Uuzi jedhamu keessa nama Iyyoob jedhamu tokkotu ture. Namichi kunis nama hirʼina hin qabnee fi qajeelaa, nama Waaqa sodaatuu fi hammina irraa fagaate ture.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 Innis ilmaan torbaa fi intallan sadii qaba ture;
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 akkasumas hoolota kuma torba, gaala kuma sadii, qotiyyoo cimdii dhibba shanii fi harroota dhibba shan, tajaajiltoota hedduus qaba ture; innis namoota biyya Baʼa Biiftuu jiraatan hunda keessaa nama guddaa ture.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 Ilmaan isaas mana isaaniitti dabaree dabareedhaan cidha qopheessanii akka isaan wajjin nyaatanii dhuganiif obboleettota isaanii sadan affeeru ture.
And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Erga yeroon cidha sanaa raawwatamee booddee Iyyoob itti ergee ijoollee isaa waamsisuudhaan, “Tarii ijoolleen koo cubbuu hojjetanii garaa isaaniittis Waaqa abaaraniiru taʼa” jedhee ganama barii waaʼee tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuudhaan isaan qulqulleessa ture. Iyyoob yeroo hunda waan kana godha ture.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Gaaf tokko yeroo ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufanitti Seexannis isaan wajjin dhufe.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7 Waaqayyos seexanaan, “Ati Eessaa dhufte?” jedhe. Seexannis, “Ani lafa hunda irra jooraa, asii fi achis deddeebiʼaa tureen dhufe” jedhee Waaqayyoof deebise.
And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Ati tajaajilaa koo Iyyoobin qalbeeffatteertaa? Namni isa fakkaatu tokko illee lafa irra hin jiru; inni nama hirʼina hin qabnee fi qajeelaa, nama Waaqa sodaatuu fi hammina irraa fagaatee dha” jedhe.
And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil?
9 Seexanni immoo deebisee akkana jedhe, “Iyyoob akkasumaan Waaqa sodaataa?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Ati naannoo isaatti, warra mana isaa jiraatanii fi waan kan isaa taʼe hundatti dallaa ijaarteerta mitii? Ati akka bushaayee fi loon isaa biyyicha guutaniif hojii harka isaa eebbifteertaaf.
Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? you have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Garuu ati mee harka kee diriirsiitii waan inni qabu hunda dhaʼi; inni dhugumaan ifaan ifatti si abaara.”
But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.
12 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Kunoo, wanti inni qabu hundi si harka jira; isa garuu qubaanuu hin tuqin” jedhe. Sana booddee Seexanni fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee deeme.
And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only on himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13 Gaaf tokko utuu ilmaanii fi intallan Iyyoob mana obboleessa isaanii isa hangafaatti nyaachaa, daadhii wayinii dhugaa jiranuu,
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house:
14 ergamaan tokko gara Iyyoob dhufee akkana jedhe; “Utuu qotiyyoon qotaa, harroonni immoo naannuma sana dheedaa jiranuu,
And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 namoonni Shebaa balaa buusanii isaan fudhatanii deeman. Tajaajiltootas goraadeedhaan fixan; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!”
And the Sabeans fell on them, and took them away; yes, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
16 Utuma inni dubbachaa jiruu ergamaan biraa dhufee, “Ibiddi Waaqaa samiidhaa buʼee hoolotaa fi tajaajiltoota gubee fixe; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!” jedhe.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
17 Utuu inni dubbachaa jiruu ammas ergamaan biraa dhufee, “Kaldoonni garee sadiitti qoodamanii gaalawwan kee irra yaaʼanii isaan oofatanii deeman; tajaajiltootas goraadeedhaan fixan; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!” jedhe.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell on the camels, and have carried them away, yes, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
18 Utuma inni dubbachaa jiruu ergamaan biraa dhufee akkana jedheen; “Ilmaanii fi intallan kee mana obboleessa isaanii isa hangafaatti nyaachaa, daadhii wayinii dhugaa turan;
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house:
19 yeroo kanattis bubbee hamaan akka tasaa gammoojjiidhaa kaʼee golee mana sanaa afran dhaʼe; manni sunis isaan irratti jigee dhuman; ana qofatu miliqee sitti himuuf dhufe!”
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
20 Kana irratti Iyyoob uffata isaa tarsaasee mataa isaa haaddate. Lafatti gombifamee sagadee
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped,
21 akkana jedhe: “Ani qullaa koon gadameessa haadha kootiitii baʼe; qullaa koos nan deema. Waaqayyotu kenne; Waaqayyotu fudhate; maqaan Waaqayyoo haa eebbifamu.”
And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
22 Wantoota kanneen hunda keessatti Iyyoob hojii dogoggoraatiin Waaqa himachuudhaan cubbuu hin hojjenne.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
