Job 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 In the land of Uz there was a blameless and upright man named Job, who feared God and avoided evil.	1 كان رجل في ارض عوص اسمه ايوب. وكان هذا الرجل كاملا ومستقيما يتقي الله ويحيد عن الشر.
2 Seven sons and three daughters were born to him;	2 وولد له سبعة بنين وثلاث بنات.
3 and he had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of work animals, so that he was greater than any of the men of the East.	3 وكانت مواشيه سبعة آلاف من الغنم وثلاثة آلاف جمل وخمس مئة فدان بقر وخمس مئة اتان وخدمه كثيرين جدا. فكان هذا الرجل اعظم كل بني المشرق.
4 His sons used to take turns giving feasts, sending invitations to their three sisters to eat and drink with them.	4 وكان بنوه يذهبون ويعملون وليمة في بيت كل واحد منهم في يومه ويرسلون ويستدعون اخواتهم الثلاث ليأكلن ويشربن معهم.
5 And when each feast had run its course, Job would send for them and sanctify them, rising early and offering holocausts for every one of them. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and blasphemed God in their hearts." This Job did habitually.	5 وكان لما دارت ايام الوليمة ان ايوب ارسل فقدسهم وبكّر في الغد واصعد محرقات على عددهم كلهم. لان ايوب قال ربما اخطأ بنيّ وجدفوا على الله في قلوبهم. هكذا كان ايوب يفعل كل الايام
6 One day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them.	6 وكان ذات يوم انه جاء بنو الله ليمثلوا امام الرب وجاء الشيطان ايضا في وسطهم.
7 And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming the earth and patrolling it."	7 فقال الرب للشيطان من اين جئت. فاجاب الشيطان الرب وقال من الجولان في الارض ومن التمشي فيها.
8 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil?"	8 فقال الرب للشيطان هل جعلت قلبك على عبدي ايوب. لانه ليس مثله في الارض. رجل كامل ومستقيم يتقي الله ويحيد عن الشر.
9 But Satan answered the LORD and said, "Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?	9 فاجاب الشيطان الرب وقال هل مجانا يتقي ايوب الله.
10 Have you not surrounded him and his family and all that he has with your protection? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock are spread over the land.	10 أليس انك سيّجت حوله وحول بيته وحول كل ما له من كل ناحية. باركت اعمال يديه فانتشرت مواشيه في الارض.
11 But now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has, and surely he will blaspheme you to your face."	11 ولكن ابسط يدك الآن ومس كل ما له فانه في وجهك يجدف عليك.
12 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand upon his person." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.	12 فقال الرب للشيطان هوذا كل ما له في يدك. وانما اليه لا تمد يدك. ثم خرج الشيطان من امام وجه الرب
13 And so one day, while his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,	13 وكان ذات يوم وابناؤه وبناته ياكلون ويشربون خمرا في بيت اخيهم الاكبر
14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the asses grazing beside them,	14 ان رسولا جاء الى ايوب وقال. البقر كانت تحرث والاتن ترعى بجانبها
15 and the Sabeans carried them off in a raid. They put the herdsmen to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."	15 فسقط عليها السبئيون واخذوها وضربوا الغلمان بحد السيف ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.
16 While he was yet speaking, another came and said, "Lightning has fallen from heaven and struck the sheep and their shepherds and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you."	16 وبينما هو يتكلم اذ جاء آخر وقال. نار الله سقطت من السماء فاحرقت الغنم والغلمان وأكلتهم ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.
17 While he was yet speaking, another came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three columns, seized the camels, carried them off, and put those tending them to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."	17 وبينما هو يتكلم اذ جاء آخر وقال. الكلدانيون عيّنوا ثلاث فرق فهجموا على الجمال واخذوها وضربوا الغلمان بحد السيف ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.
18 While he was yet speaking, another came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,	18 وبينما هو يتكلم اذ جاء آخر وقال. بنوك وبناتك كانوا ياكلون ويشربون خمرا في بيت اخيهم الاكبر
19 when suddenly a great wind came across the desert and smote the four corners of the house. It fell upon the young people and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you."	19 واذا ريح شديدة جاءت من عبر القفر وصدمت زوايا البيت الاربع فسقط على الغلمان فماتوا ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.
20 Then Job began to tear his cloak and cut off his hair. He cast himself prostrate upon the ground,	20 فقام ايوب ومزّق جبّته وجزّ شعر راسه وخرّ على الارض وسجد
21 and said, "Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I go back again. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!"	21 وقال عريانا خرجت من بطن امي وعريانا اعود الى هناك. الرب اعطى والرب اخذ فليكن اسم الرب مباركا.
22 In all this Job did not sin, nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.	22 في كل هذا لم يخطئ ايوب ولم ينسب لله جهالة
