Giobbe 1

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Vir erat in terra Us nomine Iob, et erat vir ille simplex et rectus actimens Deum et recedens a malo.	1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 Natique sunt ei septem filii et tres filiae.	2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Et fuit possessio eius septem milia ovium et tria milia camelorum, quingentaquoque iuga boum et quingentae asinae ac familia multa nimis; eratque vir illemagnus inter omnes Orientales.	3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 Et ibant filii eius et faciebant convivium per domos unusquisque in die suo;et mittentes vocabant tres sorores suas, ut comederent et biberent cum eis.	4 And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 Cumque in orbem transissent dies convivii, mittebat ad eos Iob et sanctificabatillos; consurgensque diluculo offerebat holocausta pro singulis. Dicebat enim:“ Ne forte peccaverint filii mei et benedixerint Deo in cordibus suis ”. Sicfaciebat Iob cunctis diebus.	5 And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
6 Quadam autem die, cum venissent filii Dei, ut assisterent coram Domino, affuitinter eos etiam Satan.	6 But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
7 Cui dixit Dominus: “ Unde venis? ”. Qui respondensait: “ Circuivi terram et perambulavi eam ”.	7 The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
8 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: “Numquid considerasti servum meum Iob, quod non sit ei similis in terra, homosimplex et rectus ac timens Deum et recedens a malo? ”.	8 And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
9 Cui respondens Satan ait: “ Numquid Iob frustra timet Deum?	9 Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10 Nonne tuvallasti eum ac domum eius universamque substantiam per circuitum, operibusmanuum eius benedixisti, et possessio eius crevit in terra?	10 Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11 Sed extendepaululum manum tuam et tange cuncta, quae possidet, nisi in faciem benedixerittibi ”.	11 But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
12 Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan: “ Ecce, universa, quae habet, inmanu tua sunt; tantum in eum ne extendas manum tuam ”. Egressusque est Satan afacie Domini.	12 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13 Cum autem quadam die filii et filiae eius comederent et biberent vinum indomo fratris sui primogeniti,	13 So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14 nuntius venit ad Iob, qui diceret: “ Bovesarabant, et asinae pascebantur iuxta eos;	14 a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15 et irruerunt Sabaei tuleruntque eoset pueros percusserunt gladio, et evasi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi ”.	15 and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
16 Cumque adhuc ille loqueretur, venit alter et dixit: “ Ignis Dei cecidit ecaelo et ussit oves puerosque consumpsit, et effugi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi”.	16 And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 Sed et illo adhuc loquente, venit alius et dixit: “ Chaldaei fecerunttres turmas et invaserunt camelos et tulerunt eos necnon et pueros percusseruntgladio, et ego fugi solus, ut nuntiarem tibi ”.	17 And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
18 Adhuc loquebatur ille, et ecce alius intravit et dixit: “ Filiis tuis etfiliabus vescentibus et bibentibus vinum in domo fratris sui primogeniti,	18 He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
19 repente ventus vehemens irruit a regione deserti et concussit quattuor angulosdomus; quae corruens oppressit liberos tuos, et mortui sunt, et effugi egosolus, ut nuntiarem tibi ”.	19 when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
20 Tunc surrexit Iob et scidit vestimenta sua et, tonso capite, corruens interram adoravit	20 Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
21 et dixit: “ Nudus egressus sum de utero matris meae et nudus revertar illuc. Dominus dedit, Dominus abstulit; sicut Domino placuit, ita factum est: sit nomen Domini benedictum ”.	21 and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 In omnibus his non peccavit Iob labiis suis neque stultum quid contra Deumlocutus est.	22 In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
