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.
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 shunned evil.
2 Oasr wen itkosr ac acn tolu natul.
And there were born to him 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 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 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.
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 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 it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were ended, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose 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 Ke sun pacl se ma lipufan uh ac tuku nu ye mutun LEUM GOD, Satan el wi pac tuku.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also 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 the LORD said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon 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 the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil?
9 Na Satan el fahk, “Ya Job el alu nu sum ke wangin?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?
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 not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Tusruktu kom fin eisla ma lal inge nukewa lukel, el ac ngetot nu sum ac selngawikomi!”
But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
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 the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13 Sie len ah ke tulik natul Job elos tukeni ac orek kufwa in lohm sin wen se ma matu oemeet wialos ah,
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters [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.
And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, 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 Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away; yes, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have 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 have 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 Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yes, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have 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 behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only have 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 upon the ground, and worshiped,
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 from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
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 charged God foolishly.
