ایوب 1
| در سرزمین عوص مردی زندگی می‌کرد به نام ایوب. او مردی بود درستکار و خداترس که از بدی و شرارت دوری می‌ورزید. | 1 |
A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from evil.
| ایوب هفت پسر و سه دختر داشت. | 2 |
And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
| او صاحب هفت هزار گوسفند، سه هزار شتر، پانصد جفت گاو و پانصد الاغ ماده بود و خدمتکاران بسیاری داشت. ایوب ثروتمندترین مرد سراسر آن سرزمین به شمار می‌رفت. | 3 |
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.
| هر یک از پسران ایوب به نوبت در خانهٔ خود جشنی بر پا می‌کرد و همهٔ برادران و خواهران خود را دعوت می‌نمود تا در آن جشن شرکت کنند. | 4 |
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.
| وقتی روزهای جشن به پایان می‌رسید، ایوب صبح زود برمی‌خاست و برای طهارت هر کدام از فرزندانش به خداوند قربانی سوختنی تقدیم می‌کرد. ایوب با خود فکر می‌کرد: «شاید فرزندانم گناه ورزیده و در دل خود به خدا لعن کرده باشند.» ایوب همیشه چنین می‌کرد. | 5 |
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.
| یک روز که فرشتگان در حضور خداوند حاضر شده بودند، شیطان نیز همراه ایشان بود. | 6 |
And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them.
| خداوند از شیطان پرسید: «کجا بودی؟» شیطان پاسخ داد: «دور زمین می‌گشتم و در آن سیر می‌کردم.» | 7 |
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.
| آنگاه خداوند از او پرسید: «آیا بندهٔ من ایوب را دیدی؟ بر زمین، کسی مانند او پیدا نمی‌شود. او مردی بی‌عیب، صالح خداترس است و از گناه بدی و شرارت دوری می‌ورزد.» | 8 |
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.
| شیطان گفت: «اگر خداترسی برای او سودی نمی‌داشت این کار را نمی‌کرد. | 9 |
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
| تو ایوب و خانواده و اموالش را از هر گزندی محفوظ داشته‌ای. دسترنج او را برکت داده‌ای و ثروت زیاد به او بخشیده‌ای. | 10 |
¿ 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.
| دارایی‌اش را از او بگیر، آنگاه خواهی دید که آشکارا تو را لعن خواهد کرد!» | 11 |
And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
| خداوند در پاسخ شیطان گفت: «برو و هر کاری که می‌خواهی با دارایی‌اش بکن، فقط آسیبی به خود او نرسان.» پس شیطان از حضور خداوند بیرون رفت. | 12 |
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.
| یک روز وقتی پسران و دختران ایوب در خانهٔ برادر بزرگشان میهمان بودند، | 13 |
And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
| قاصدی نزد ایوب آمد و به او گفت: «گاوهایت شخم می‌زدند و ماده الاغهایت کنار آنها می‌چریدند | 14 |
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.
| که ناگهان سابی‌ها به ما حمله کرده، حیوانات را بردند و تمام کارگران تو را کشتند. تنها من جان به در بردم و آمدم تا به تو خبر دهم.» | 15 |
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.
| سخنان این مرد هنوز پایان نیافته بود که قاصد دیگری از راه رسیده، گفت: «آتش خدا از آسمان نازل شده، تمام گوسفندان و همهٔ چوپانانت را سوزاند و تنها من جان به در برده، آمدم تا به تو خبر دهم.» | 16 |
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.
| پیش از آنکه حرفهای وی تمام شود قاصدی دیگر وارد شده، گفت: «کلدانیان در سه دسته به ما حمله کردند و شترهایت را بردند و کارگرانت را کشتند، تنها من جان به در بردم و آمده‌ام تا به تو خبر دهم.» | 17 |
Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they 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.
| سخنان آن قاصد هم هنوز تمام نشده بود که قاصد دیگری از راه رسید و گفت: «پسران و دخترانت در خانهٔ برادر بزرگشان میهمان بودند، | 18 |
Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
| که ناگهان باد شدیدی از طرف بیابان وزیده، خانه را بر سر ایشان خراب کرد و همه زیر آوار جان سپردند و تنها من جان به در بردم و آمده‌ام تا این خبر را به تو برسانم.» | 19 |
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.
| آنگاه ایوب برخاسته، از شدت غم لباس خود را پاره کرد. سپس موی سر خود را تراشید و در حضور خدا به خاک افتاده، | 20 |
And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
| گفت: «از شکم مادر برهنه به دنیا آمدم و برهنه هم از این دنیا خواهم رفت. خداوند داد و خداوند گرفت. نام خداوند متبارک باد.» | 21 |
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.
| با همهٔ این پیش‌آمدها، ایوب گناه نکرد و به خدا ناسزا نگفت. | 22 |
In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
