shalom peter,
i think the following is a consensus.
qumran aramaic Job is a translation.
hebrew Job was original, but it is in a hebrew dialect that is sui generis.

there are those who suspect that Job is a translation from something else,
but no one has proposed that Qumran aramaic Job is original.
