| Job 1 Text (WEB)
|
- There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
- There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
- His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
- His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
- It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
- Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them.
- Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."
- Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."
- Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
- Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
- But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."
- Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don't put forth your hand." So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh.
- It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
- that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
- and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
- While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
- While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
- While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
- and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you."
- Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
- He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh."
- In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

- איש היה בארץ־עוץ איוב שמו והיה האיש ההוא תם וישר וירא אלהים וסר מרע׃
- ויולדו לו שבעה בנים ושלוש בנות׃
- 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׃
- והלכו בניו ועשו משתה בית איש יומו ושלחו וקראו לשלשת לאכל ולשתות עמהם׃
- 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׃ ף
- ויהי היום ויבאו בני האלהים להתיצב על־יהוה ויבוא גם־השטן בתוכם׃
- ויאמר יהוה אל־השטן מאין תבא ויען השטן את־יהוה ויאמר משוט בארץ ומהתהלך בה׃
- ויאמר יהוה אל־השטן השמת לבך על־עבדי איוב כי אין כמהו בארץ איש תם וישר ירא אלהים וסר מרע׃
- ויען השטן את־יהוה ויאמר החנם ירא איוב אלהים׃
- הלא־ שכת בעדו ובעד־ביתו ובעד כל־אשר־לו מסביב מעשה ידיו ברכת ומקנהו פרץ בארץ׃
- ואולם שלח־נא ידך וגע בכל־אשר־לו אם־לא על־פניך יברךך׃
- ויאמר יהוה אל־השטן הנה כל־אשר־לו בידך רק אליו אל־תשלח ידך ויצא השטן מעם פני יהוה׃
- ויהי היום ובניו ובנתיו אכלים ושתים יין בבית אחיהם הבכור׃
- ומלאך בא אל־איוב ויאמר הבקר היו חרשות והאתנות רעות על־ידיהם׃
- ותפל שבא ותקחם ואת־הנערים הכו לפי־חרב ואמלטה רק־אני לבדי להגיד לך׃
- עוד זה מדבר וזה בא ויאמר אש אלהים נפלה מן־השמים ותבער בצאן ובנערים ותאכלם ואמלטה רק־אני לבדי להגיד לך׃
- 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׃
- עד זה מדבר וזה בא ויאמר בניך ובנותיך אכלים ושתים יין בבית אחיהם הבכור׃
- והנה רוח גדולה באה מעבר המדבר ויגע בארבע פנות הבית ויפל על־הנערים וימותו ואמלטה רק־אני לבדי להגיד לך׃
- ויקם איוב ויקרע את־מעלו ויגז את־ראשו ויפל ארצה וישתחו׃
- ויאמר ערם מבטן אמי וערם אשוב שמה יהוה נתן ויהוה לקח יהי שם יהוה מברך׃
- בכל־זאת לא־חטא איוב ולא־נתן תפלה לאלהים׃ ף

| Job 1 Text (Latin)
|
- Vir erat in terra Hus, nomine Job ; et erat vir ille simplex, et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo.
- Natique sunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.
- Et fuit possessio ejus septem millia ovium, et tria millia camelorum, quingenta quoque juga boum, et quingentæ asinæ, ac familia multa nimis : eratque vir ille magnus inter omnes orientales.
- Et ibant filii ejus, et faciebant convivium per domos, unusquisque in die suo. Et mittentes vocabant tres sorores suas, ut comederent et biberent cum eis.
- Cumque in orbem transissent dies convivii, mittebat ad eos Job, et sanctificabat illos ; consurgensque diluculo, offerebat holocausta pro singulis. Dicebat enim : Ne forte peccaverint filii mei, et benedixerint Deo in cordibus suis. Sic faciebat Job cunctis diebus.
- Quadam autem die, cum venissent filii Dei ut assisterent coram Domino, affuit inter eos etiam Satan.
- Cui dixit Dominus : Unde venis ? Qui respondens, ait : Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam.
- Dixitque Dominus ad eum : Numquid considerasti servum meum Job, quod non sit ei similis in terra, homo simplex et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo ?
- Cui respondens Satan, ait : Numquid Job frustra timet Deum ?
- Nonne tu vallasti eum, ac domum ejus, universamque substantiam per circuitum, operibus manuum ejus benedixisti, et possessio ejus crevit in terra ?
- Sed extende paululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quæ possidet, nisi in faciem benedixerit tibi.
- Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan : Ecce universa quæ habet in manu tua sunt ; tantum in eum ne extendas manum tuam. Egressusque est Satan a facie Domini.
- Cum autem quadam die filii et filiæ ejus comederent et biberent vinum in domo fratris sui primogeniti,
- nuntius venit ad Job, qui diceret : Boves arabant, et asinæ pascebantur juxta eos ;
- et irruerunt Sabæi, tuleruntque omnia, et pueros percusserunt gladio ; et evasi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.
- Cumque adhuc ille loqueretur, venit alter, et dixit : Ignis Dei cecidit e cælo, et tactas oves puerosque consumpsit ; et effugi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.
- Sed et illo adhuc loquente, venit alius, et dixit : Chaldæi fecerunt tres turmas, et invaserunt camelos, et tulerunt eos, necnon et pueros percusserunt gladio : et ego fugi solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.
- Adhuc loquebatur ille, et ecce alius intravit, et dixit : Filiis tuis et filiabus vescentibus et bibentibus vinum in domo fratris sui primogeniti,
- repente ventus vehemens irruit a regione deserti, et concussit quatuor angulos domus, quæ corruens oppressit liberos tuos, et mortui sunt ; et effugi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.
- Tunc surrexit Job, et scidit vestimenta sua ; et tonso capite, corruens in terram, adoravit,
- et dixit : Nudus egressus sum de utero matris meæ, et nudus revertar illuc. Dominus dedit, Dominus abstulit ; sicut Domino placuit, ita factum est. Sit nomen Domini benedictum.
- In omnibus his non peccavit Job labiis suis, neque stultum quid contra Deum locutus est.

| Job 1 Text (KJV)

- There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
- And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
- His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
- And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
- And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
- Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
- And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
- And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
- Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
- Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
- But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
- And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
- And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
- And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
- And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
- While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
- While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
- While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
- And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
- Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
- And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
- In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
