Job 1
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.
Teo t’indaty an-tane Otse añe, Iobe ty tahina’e, ondaty vañoñe naho vantañe, mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare, mpalain-karatiañe.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Nisamake fito lahy re, telo ty anak’ampela’e.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
I vara’ey: fito arivo ty mpirai-lia’e naho telo arivo ty rameva’e; liman-jato ty katraka’e mpitrao-baoñe naho borìke liman-jato vaho nitozantozañe ty añ’anjomba’e ao. Ie t’indaty ni-lohà’ ze hene nta-tiñanañe.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Lili’ i ana-dahi’e rey ty nanao takataka añ’anjomba’e, sindre ami’ty andro’e vaho nampañitrike naho nañambara amy rahavave’ iareo telo rey ty hitrao-pikama naho rano ama’e.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were ended, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Aa ie nimodo ty san-tsabadida’ iareo le nitokave’ Iobe vaho nefera’e. Nañaleñalen-dre nañenga soroñe ty ami’ty ia’iareo iaby, fa hoe t’Iobe, Ke nandilatse o anakoo vaho niteratera an’ Andrianañahare an-tro’e ao. Zay ty nilili’ Iobe.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Nitsatok’ ami’ty andro niheova’ o anak’ Andrianañahareo añatrefa’ Iehovà te nivotrak’ am’ iereo ka i mpañinjey.
7 And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, fFrom going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey: Hirik’ aia v’iheo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’ Iehovà, Nimbeo’ mbeo an-tane ey raho, nijelanjelañe ama’e.
8 And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil?
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey: Hinarahara’o hao t’Iobe mpitoroko? Te tsitantane ty mañirinkiriñe aze; vañon-dre naho ondaty vantañe mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare vaho malain-ty raty.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nothing?
Nanoiñe Iehovà ami’ty hoe i mpañinjey: Aa vaho an-tsi-vente’e hao ty añeveña’ Iobe aman’ Añahare?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Tsy Ihe hao ty nañarikatok’ aze am-pahetse, ie naho ty anjomba’e naho ze hene ama’e miariseho aze? Nitahie’o ty satam-pità’e vaho manitsike i taney ty vara’e.
11 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Ahitio ty fità’o henaneo, paoho o fanaña’e iabio, le toe ho teraterae’e añatrefan-dahara’o.
12 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Ingo, fa ambane fehe’o eo o fanaña’e iabio, fe adono tsy hahiti’o ama’e ty taña’o. Aa le nisitak’ ami’ty fiatrefa’ Iehovà i mpañinjey.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
Ie te indraik’ andro, nanao takataka naho ninon-divay añ’ anjomba’ i zoke-lahi’ey i ana’e rey,
14 And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them:
le ingo ty nihitrike mb’am’ Iobe mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Nitari-dasary o katrakao le nihinañe marine eo o borìkeo,
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
le nañotroke mb’eo o nte-Sabeo naho tinonga’ iereo. Zinama’ iareo am-pibara o mpiarakeo vaho zaho avao ty nahabotitsike hivolañe ama’o!
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
Ie mbe nitalily, avy ka ty raike nanao ty hoe: Nidoiñe boak’ an-dikerañe ey ty afon’ Añahare namorototo o lia raikeo naho o mpiarakeo vaho nimongoreñe, zaho avao ty nivoratsake hitalily ama’o.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
Ie mbe nisaontsy, nimb’eo ka ty raike nanao ty hoe: Nizara ho firimboñañe telo o nte-Kaldeao, le hinao’ iareo o rameva iabio. Fonga binaibai’ iareo ami’ty meso-lava o mpiarakeo le zaho avao ty nipoliotse hitaroñ’ ama’o.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
Ie mbe nisaontsy, le nimb’eo ka ty raike ninday ty hoe: Nikama naho ninon-divay añ’anjomba’ i zoke-lahi’eo o ana-dahi’o naho anak’ ampela’oo,
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
le ingo niavy ty tio-bey boak’ am-patrambey añe, nikabokaboke i anjombay ami’ty hotso’e efatse naho nihotrak’ am’ondaty tora’eo; fonga nihomake. Zaho avao ty nirombake hitalily ama’o.
20 Then Job arose, and tore his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshipped,
Niongak’ amy zao t’Iobe nandriatse ty saro’e naho nañaratse ty añambone’e naho nibabok’ an-tane eo nisoloho,
21 And said, Naked came I from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
vaho hoe re: Niboridan-draho te niboak’ an-kovin-dreneko ao, le hijangeajangeañe ka t’ie himpoliako ao. Nanolotse t’Iehovà, vaho nañombotse t’Iehovà; bangoeñe ty tahina’ Iehovà.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Ie amy ze iaby, tsy nandilatse t’Iobe, tsy nanisý raha tsy mañeva aman’ Andrianañahare.
