1 Ûs ülkesinde Eyüp adında bir adam yaşardı. Kusursuz, doğru bir adamdı. Tanrıdan korkar, kötülükten kaçınırdı.

2 Yedi oğlu, üç kızı vardı.

3 Yedi bin koyuna, üç bin deveye, beş yüz çift öküze, beş yüz çift eşeğe ve pek çok köleye sahipti. Doğudaki insanların en zengini oydu.

1 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 turned away from evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 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 children of the east.
