ایّوب 1
| در زمین عوص، مردی بود که ایوب نام داشت و آن مرد کامل و راست و خداترس بود و از بدی اجتناب می‌نمود. | ۱ 1 |
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
| و برای او، هفت پسر و سه دختر زاییده شدند. | ۲ 2 |
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
| و اموال او هفت هزار گوسفند و سه هزار شتر و پانصد جفت گاو وپانصد الاغ ماده بود و نوکران بسیار کثیر داشت وآن مرد از تمامی بنی مشرق بزرگتر بود. | ۳ 3 |
And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.
| و پسرانش می‌رفتند و در خانه هر یکی ازایشان، در روزش مهمانی می‌کردند و فرستاده، سه خواهر خود را دعوت می‌نمودند تا با ایشان اکل و شرب بنمایند. | ۴ 4 |
His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.
| و واقع می‌شد که چون دوره روزهای مهمانی‌ایشان بسر می‌رفت، ایوب فرستاده، ایشان را تقدیس می‌نمود و بامدادان برخاسته، قربانی های سوختنی، به شماره همه ایشان می‌گذرانید، زیرا ایوب می‌گفت: «شایدپسران من گناه کرده، خدا را در دل خود ترک نموده باشند» و ایوب همیشه چنین می‌کرد. | ۵ 5 |
And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.
| و روزی واقع شد که پسران خدا آمدند تا به حضور خداوند حاضر شوند و شیطان نیز در میان ایشان آمد. | ۶ 6 |
And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
| و خداوند به شیطان گفت: «از کجاآمدی؟» شیطان در جواب خداوند گفت: «ازتردد کردن در زمین و سیر کردن در آن.» | ۷ 7 |
And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
| خداوندبه شیطان گفت: «آیا در بنده من ایوب تفکر کردی که مثل او در زمین نیست؟ مرد کامل وراست و خداترس که از گناه اجتناب می‌کند.» | ۸ 8 |
And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?
| شیطان در جواب خداوند گفت: «آیا ایوب مجان از خدا می‌ترسد؟ | ۹ 9 |
And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Is it for nothing that Job is a god-fearing man?
| آیا تو گرد او و گردخانه او و گرد همه اموال او، به هر طرف حصارنکشیدی و اعمال دست او را برکت ندادی ومواشی او در زمین منتشر نشد؟ | ۱۰ 10 |
Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?
| لیکن الان دست خود را دراز کن و تمامی مایملک او رالمس نما و پیش روی تو، تو را ترک خواهدنمود.» | ۱۱ 11 |
But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
| خداوند به شیطان گفت: «اینک همه اموالش در دست تو است، لیکن دستت را بر خوداو دراز مکن.» پس شیطان از حضور خداوندبیرون رفت. | ۱۲ 12 |
And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
| و روزی واقع شد که پسران و دخترانش درخانه برادر بزرگ خود می‌خوردند و شراب می‌نوشیدند. | ۱۳ 13 |
And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,
| و رسولی نزد ایوب آمده، گفت: «گاوان شیار می‌کردند و ماده الاغان نزد آنهامی چریدند. | ۱۴ 14 |
And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:
| و سابیان بر آنها حمله آورده، بردند و جوانان را به دم شمشیر کشتند و من به تنهایی رهایی یافتم تا تو را خبر دهم.» | ۱۵ 15 |
And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
| و اوهنوز سخن می‌گفت که دیگری آمده، گفت: «آتش خدا از آسمان افتاد و گله و جوانان راسوزانیده، آنها را هلاک ساخت و من به تنهایی رهایی یافتم تا تو را خبر دهم.» | ۱۶ 16 |
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
| و او هنوزسخن می‌گفت که دیگری آمده، گفت: «کلدانیان سه فرقه شدند و بر شتران هجوم آورده، آنها را بردند و جوانان را به دم شمشیر کشتند و من به تنهایی رهایی یافتم تا تو را خبر دهم.» | ۱۷ 17 |
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
| و اوهنوز سخن می‌گفت که دیگری آمده، گفت: «پسران و دخترانت در خانه برادر بزرگ خودمی خوردند و شراب می‌نوشیدند | ۱۸ 18 |
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,
| که اینک بادشدیدی از طرف بیابان آمده، چهار گوشه خانه رازد و بر جوانان افتاد که مردند و من به تنهایی رهایی یافتم تا تو را خبر دهم.» | ۱۹ 19 |
When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
| آنگاه ایوب برخاسته، جامه خود را درید وسر خود را تراشید و به زمین افتاده، سجده کرد | ۲۰ 20 |
Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,
| و گفت: «برهنه از رحم مادر خود بیرون آمدم وبرهنه به آنجا خواهم برگشت؛ خداوند داد وخداوند گرفت و نام خداوند متبارک باد.» | ۲۱ 21 |
With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.
| دراین همه، ایوب گناه نکرد و به خدا جهالت نسبت نداد. | ۲۲ 22 |
In all this Job did no sin, and did not say that God's acts were foolish.
