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; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil.
| و برای او، هفت پسر و سه دختر زاییده شدند. | ۲ 2 |
There were born to him 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 |
He possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants. He was the man who was the greatest of all the people 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 |
On each son's assigned day, he would give a feast in his house. They would send and call for their three sisters to eat and drink 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 |
When the days of the feast were over, Job would send for them and he would consecrate them. He would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings for each of his children, for he would say, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job always did this.
| و روزی واقع شد که پسران خدا آمدند تا به حضور خداوند حاضر شوند و شیطان نیز در میان ایشان آمد. | ۶ 6 |
Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also 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 |
Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth 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 |
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns from evil.”
| شیطان در جواب خداوند گفت: «آیا ایوب مجان از خدا می‌ترسد؟ | ۹ 9 |
Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God without reason?
| 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 not put a barrier around him, around his house, and around all that is his from every side? You have blessed the deeds of his hands, and his cattle have burst forth 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 stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and see if he does not curse 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 |
Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not stretch out your hand.” Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh.
| و روزی واقع شد که پسران و دخترانش درخانه برادر بزرگ خود می‌خوردند و شراب می‌نوشیدند. | ۱۳ 13 |
It came about that on a certain day, his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
| و رسولی نزد ایوب آمده، گفت: «گاوان شیار می‌کردند و ماده الاغان نزد آنهامی چریدند. | ۱۴ 14 |
A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them.
| 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 |
Then the Sabeans fell on them and took them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
| 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 |
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
| 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 |
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups, attacked the camels, and have taken them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
| و اوهنوز سخن می‌گفت که دیگری آمده، گفت: «پسران و دخترانت در خانه برادر بزرگ خودمی خوردند و شراب می‌نوشیدند | ۱۸ 18 |
While he was yet speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine 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 |
A strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
| آنگاه ایوب برخاسته، جامه خود را درید وسر خود را تراشید و به زمین افتاده، سجده کرد | ۲۰ 20 |
Then Job rose, tore his robe, shaved his head, lay facedown on the ground, and worshiped God.
| 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 |
He said, “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I will return there. It is Yahweh who gave, and it is Yahweh who has taken away. May the name of Yahweh be blessed.”
| دراین همه، ایوب گناه نکرد و به خدا جهالت نسبت نداد. | ۲۲ 22 |
In all this matter, Job did not sin, nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing.
