< 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.
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 Addaan isuna iti pito a putot a lallaki ken tallo a putot a babbai,
And there were born unto him 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
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.”
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
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.”
And the LORD said unto 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 turns away from evil?
9 Ket simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Agbuteng kadi ni Job iti Dios nga awan iti gapgapuna?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
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.
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 Ngem iyunnatmo ta imam ita ket rautem dagiti amin a sanikuana, ket tallikudannakanto iti rupam.”
But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.
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.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
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,
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 napan ti maysa a mensahero kenni Job ket kinunana, “Agar-arado dagiti baka ken mangmangan dagiti asno iti abayda;
And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 dinarup ida dagiti Sabeo ket innalada dagitoy. Pudno, pinatayda dagiti adipen babaen iti tadem ti kampilan; siak laeng ti nakalibas a mangibaga kenka.”
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
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 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 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 yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
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 yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
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.”
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and stroke 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 you.
20 Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Job, rinay-abna ti kagayna, kinuskusanna ti ulona, nagpakleb iti daga, ket nagdayaw iti Dios.
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
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.”
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 Iti amin dagitoy a banbanag, saan a nagbasol ni Job, wenno saanna a simamamaag a pinabasol ti Dios.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
