Job and His Family
1 There was a man in the country of Uz(A) named Job.(B) He was a man of complete integrity,(C) who feared God and turned away from evil.(D) 2 He had seven sons and three daughters.(E) 3 His estate included seven thousand sheep and goats, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys,(F) and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man among all the people of the east.(G)
4 His sons used to take turns having banquets at their homes. They would send an invitation to their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 Whenever a round of banqueting was over, Job would send for his children and purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for[a] all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned, having cursed God in their hearts.”(H) This was Job’s regular practice.
Satan’s First Test of Job
6 One day the sons of God(I) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them. 7 The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”
“From roaming through the earth,”(J) Satan answered him, “and walking around on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity,(K) who fears God and turns away from evil.”(L)
9 Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Haven’t you placed a hedge around(M) him, his household, and everything he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and strike(N) everything he owns, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 “Very well,” the Lord told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, do not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and reported, “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys grazing nearby, 15 the Sabeans(O) swooped down and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
16 He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, “God’s fire fell from heaven.(P) It burned the sheep and the servants and devoured them, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
17 That messenger was still speaking when yet another came and reported, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, made a raid on the camels, and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
18 He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house. 19 Suddenly a powerful wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people so that they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
20 Then Job stood up, tore(Q) his robe, and shaved(R) his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped, 21 saying:
Naked I came from my mother’s womb,(S)
and naked I will leave this life.[c](T)
The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.(U)
22 Throughout all this Job did not sin or blame God for anything.[d](V)

Prolog
1 În ţara Uţ, trăia odată un om al cărui nume era Iov. Omul acesta era integru şi drept; el se temea de Dumnezeu şi se ferea de rău. 2 I s-au născut şapte fii şi trei fiice. 3 El avea şapte mii de oi, trei mii de cămile, cinci sute de perechi de boi, cinci sute de măgari şi un număr mare de slujitori. Era cel mai însemnat om dintre toţi locuitorii Răsăritului. 4 Fiii lui obişnuiau să meargă şi să ţină, pe rând, câte un ospăţ în casa fiecăruia în parte; ei le chemau şi pe cele trei surori ale lor ca să mănânce şi să bea împreună cu ei. 5 Când se termina câte un şir de ospeţe, Iov îi chema şi îi sfinţea. El se trezea dimineaţa devreme şi aducea arderi-de-tot pentru fiecare dintre ei, zicând: „Poate fiii mei au păcătuit şi l-au blestemat pe Dumnezeu în inimile lor.“ Aşa obişnuia Iov să facă.
Prima încercare a lui Iov
6 Într-o zi, fiii[a] lui Dumnezeu au venit pentru a se înfăţişa înaintea Domnului. Satan[b] a venit şi el în mijlocul lor. 7 Domnul l-a întrebat pe Satan:
– De unde vii?
Satan i-a răspuns Domnului:
– De la cutreieratul pământului şi de la plimbarea ce am făcut-o pe el.
8 Domnul l-a întrebat pe Satan:
– L-ai văzut pe robul Meu Iov? Nu mai e nimeni ca el pe pământ, un om curat la suflet, drept, care se teme de Dumnezeu şi se fereşte de rău.
9 Atunci Satan I-a răspuns Domnului:
– Oare degeaba se teme Iov de Dumnezeu? 10 Nu l-ai împrejmuit Tu pe el, casa lui şi tot ceea ce are cu ocrotirea Ta? Tu ai binecuvântat lucrul mâinilor lui şi averile lui i s-au înmulţit în ţară. 11 Dar ia întinde-Ţi mâna acum şi atinge-te de tot ce are şi vei vedea că Te va blestema în faţă.
12 Domnul i-a răspuns lui Satan:
– Iată, îţi dau pe mână tot ceea ce are, numai asupra lui să nu-ţi întinzi mâna!
Atunci Satan a plecat dinaintea Domnului.
13 Într-o zi, în timp ce fiii şi fiicele sale mâncau şi beau vin în casa fiului cel mare, întâiul născut, 14 a venit la Iov un mesager care i-a zis: „În timp ce boii tăi erau la plug, iar măgăriţele păşteau lângă ei, 15 nişte sabeeni[c] s-au năpustit asupra lor, i-au luat, iar pe slujitori i-au trecut prin ascuţişul sabiei. Doar eu am scăpat ca să te înştiinţez.“ 16 În timp ce acesta încă vorbea, un altul a venit şi i-a zis: „Focul lui Dumnezeu a căzut din cer şi a ars oile şi slujitorii, i-a ars de tot. Doar eu am scăpat ca să te înştiinţez.“ 17 În timp ce acesta încă vorbea, a venit un altul şi i-a zis: „Nişte caldeeni[d], împărţiţi în trei cete, au năvălit, ţi-au luat cămilele, iar pe slujitori i-au trecut prin ascuţişul sabiei. Doar eu am scăpat ca să te înştiinţez.“ 18 În timp ce acesta încă vorbea, a venit un altul şi i-a zis: „Fiii şi fiicele tale mâncau şi beau vin în casa fratelui lor mai mare, întâiul născut. 19 Dintr-odată un vânt puternic a suflat dinspre pustie, a izbit în cele patru colţuri ale casei şi astfel casa s-a prăbuşit peste tineri şi au murit. Doar eu am scăpat ca să te înştiinţez.“
20 Atunci Iov s-a ridicat, şi-a sfâşiat mantia şi şi-a ras capul. A căzut la pământ, s-a închinat 21 şi a zis:
„Gol am ieşit din pântecele mamei mele
şi gol mă voi întoarce în pământ[e]!
Domnul a dat, Domnul a luat,
fie Numele Domnului binecuvântat!“
22 În toate acestea Iov n-a păcătuit, n-a aruncat vina asupra lui Dumnezeu.

Prologue
1 In the land of Uz(A) there lived a man whose name was Job.(B) This man was blameless(C) and upright;(D) he feared God(E) and shunned evil.(F) 2 He had seven sons(G) and three daughters,(H) 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys,(I) and had a large number of servants.(J) He was the greatest man(K) among all the people of the East.(L)
4 His sons used to hold feasts(M) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(N) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(O) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(P) and cursed God(Q) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 One day the angels[a](R) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b](S) also came with them.(T) 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(U)
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?(V) There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God(W) and shuns evil.”(X)
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?”(Y) Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge(Z) around him and his household and everything he has?(AA) You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.(AB) 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,(AC) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(AD)
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has(AE) is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”(AF)
Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters(AG) were feasting(AH) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing(AI) nearby, 15 and the Sabeans(AJ) attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens(AK) and burned up the sheep and the servants,(AL) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans(AM) formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters(AN) were feasting(AO) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind(AP) swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,(AQ) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!(AR)”
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe(AS) and shaved his head.(AT) Then he fell to the ground in worship(AU) 21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.[c](AV)
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;(AW)
may the name of the Lord be praised.”(AX)
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.(AY)
