| 2 | Natique sunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ. |
And seuene sones and thre douytris weren borun to hym; |
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. | |
| 3 | 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. |
and his possessioun was seuene thousynde of scheep, and thre thousynde of camels, and fyue hundrid yockis of oxis, and fyue hundrid of femal assis, and ful myche meynee; and thilke man was grete among alle men of the eest. |
And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceeding great: and this man was great among all the people of the east. | |
| 4 | 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. |
And hise sones yeden, and maden feestis bi housis, ech man in his day; and thei senten, and clepiden her thre sistris, that thei schulden ete, and drynke wiyn with hem. |
And his sons went, and made a feast by houses every one in 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 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. |
And whanne the daies of feeste hadden passid in to the world, Joob sente to hem, and halewide hem, and he roos eerli, and offride brent sacrifices bi alle. For he seide, Lest perauenture my sones do synne, and curse God in her hertis. Joob dide so in alle daies. |
And when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days. | |
| 6 | Quadam autem die, cum venissent filii Dei ut assisterent coram Domino, affuit inter eos etiam Satan. |
Forsothe in sum day, whanne the sones of God weren comun to be present bifor the Lord, also Sathan cam among hem. |
Now on a certain day when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present among them. | |
| 7 | Cui dixit Dominus: Unde venis? Qui respondens, ait: Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam. |
To whom the Lord seide, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, and seide, Y haue cumpassid the erthe, and Y haue walkid thorouy it. |
And the Lord said to him: Whence comest thou ? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it. | |
| 8 | 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? |
And the Lord seide to hym, Whether thou hast biholde my seruaunt Joob, that noon in erthe is lyik hym; he is a symple man, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awei fro yuel? |
And the Lord said to him: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil? | |
| 9 | Cui respondens Satan, ait: Numquid Job frustra timet Deum? |
To whom Sathan answeride, Whether Joob dredith God veynli? |
And Satan answering, said: Doth Job fear God in vain ? | |
| 10 | nonne tu vallasti eum, ac domum ejus, universamque substantiam per circuitum; operibus manuum ejus benedixisti, et possessio ejus crevit in terra? |
Whethir thou hast not cumpassid hym, and his hows, and al his catel bi cumpas? Thou hast blessid the werkis of hise hondis, and hise possessioun encreesside in erthe. |
Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth ? | |
| 11 | sed extende paululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quæ possidet, nisi in faciem benedixerit tibi. |
But stretche forth thin hond a litil, and touche thou alle thingis whiche he hath in possessioun; if he cursith not thee in the face, bileue not to me. |
But stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he blesseth thee not to thy face. | |
| 12 | 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. |
Therfor the Lord seide to Sathan, Lo! alle thingis, whiche he hath, ben in thin hond; oneli stretche thou not forth thin hond in to hym. And Sathan yede out fro the face of the Lord. |
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. | |
