1 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. 2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 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.

1 Era în ţara Uţ un om care se numea Iov. Şi omul acesta era fără prihană şi curat la suflet. El se temea de Dumnezeu, şi se abătea de la rău.

2 I s'au născut şapte fii şi trei fete.

3 Avea şapte mii de oi, trei mii de cămile, cinci sute de perechi de boi, cinci sute de măgăriţe, şi un foarte mare număr de slujitori. Şi omul acesta era cel mai cu vază din toţi locuitorii Răsăritului.
