| איש היה בארץ עוץ איוב שמו והיה האיש ההוא תם וישר וירא אלהים וסר מרע׃ |
2 And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
| ויולדו לו שבעה בנים ושלוש בנות׃ |
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.
| ויהי מקנהו שבעת אלפי צאן ושלשת אלפי גמלים וחמש מאות צמד בקר וחמש מאות אתונות ועבדה רבה מאד ויהי האיש ההוא גדול מכל בני קדם׃ |
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 *Qk) to eat and to drink with them.
| והלכו בניו ועשו משתה בית איש יומו ושלחו וקראו לשלשת אחיתיהם לאכל ולשתות עמהם׃ |
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.
| ויהי כי הקיפו ימי המשתה וישלח איוב ויקדשם והשכים בבקר והעלה עלות מספר כלם כי אמר איוב אולי חטאו בני וברכו אלהים בלבבם ככה יעשה איוב כל הימים׃ |
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.
| ויהי היום ויבאו בני האלהים להתיצב על יהוה ויבוא גם השטן בתוכם׃ |
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.
| ויאמר יהוה אל השטן מאין תבא ויען השטן את יהוה ויאמר משוט בארץ ומהתהלך בה׃ |
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.
| ויאמר יהוה אל השטן השמת לבך על עבדי איוב כי אין כמהו בארץ איש תם וישר ירא אלהים וסר מרע׃ |
9 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
| ויען השטן את יהוה ויאמר החנם ירא איוב אלהים׃ |
10 ¿ Not (you *QK) 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.
| הלא את שכת בעדו ובעד ביתו ובעד כל אשר לו מסביב מעשה ידיו ברכת ומקנהו פרץ בארץ׃ |
11 And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
| ואולם שלח נא ידך וגע בכל אשר לו אם לא על פניך יברכך׃ |
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.
| ויאמר יהוה אל השטן הנה כל אשר לו בידך רק אליו אל תשלח ידך ויצא השטן מעם פני יהוה׃ |
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.
| ויהי היום ובניו ובנתיו אכלים ושתים יין בבית אחיהם הבכור׃ |
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.
| ומלאך בא אל איוב ויאמר הבקר היו חרשות והאתנות רעות על ידיהם׃ |
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.
| ותפל שבא ותקחם ואת הנערים הכו לפי חרב ואמלטה רק אני לבדי להגיד לך׃ |
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.
| עוד זה מדבר וזה בא ויאמר אש אלהים נפלה מן השמים ותבער בצאן ובנערים ותאכלם ואמלטה רק אני לבדי להגיד לך׃ |
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.
| עוד זה מדבר וזה בא ויאמר כשדים שמו שלשה ראשים ויפשטו על הגמלים ויקחום ואת הנערים הכו לפי חרב ואמלטה רק אני לבדי להגיד לך׃ |
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.
| עד זה מדבר וזה בא ויאמר בניך ובנותיך אכלים ושתים יין בבית אחיהם הבכור׃ |
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.
| והנה רוח גדולה באה מעבר המדבר ויגע בארבע פנות הבית ויפל על הנערים וימותו ואמלטה רק אני לבדי להגיד לך׃ |
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.
| ויקם איוב ויקרע את מעלו ויגז את ראשו ויפל ארצה וישתחו׃ |
21 And he said naked (I came out *Qk) 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.
| ויאמר ערם יצתי מבטן אמי וערם אשוב שמה יהוה נתן ויהוה לקח יהי שם יהוה מברך׃ |
22 In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
| בכל זאת לא חטא איוב ולא נתן תפלה לאלהים׃ |
