Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
Tera tetahi tangata i te whenua o Uhu, ko Hopa tona ingoa; a ko taua tangata he tangata tapatahi, he tika, he tangata wehi ki te Atua, mawehe i te kino.
2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Na ka puta ona uri, tokowhitu nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.
3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
Ko ana rawa hoki, e whitu mano nga hipi, e toru mano nga kamera, ko nga kau, e rima rau nga ioka, e rima rau nga kaihe uha, a ko ana pononga he tini noa atu; na reira nui atu taua tangata i nga tangata katoa o te rawhiti.
4 And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
Na ka haere ana tama, ka taka he hakari ki o ratou whare, he ra ki to tenei, he ra ki to tenei; a ka tukua he karere hei karanga i o ratou tuahine tokotoru kia kai tahi, kia inu tahi ratou.
5 And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
A ka taka nga ra o ta ratou kai hakari, ka unga tangata a Hopa, a whakatapua ana ratou, maranga wawe ana ia i te ata, whakaekea ana e ia he tahunga tinana, rite tonu ki a ratou katoa te maha; i mea hoki a Hopa, Tera pea kua hara aku tama, kua kan ga ki te Atua i roto i o ratou ngakau. Ko ta Hopa mahi tonu tenei i nga ra katoa.
6 But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
Na i tetahi o aua ra ka haere mai nga tama a te Atua, kia tu ai ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa, a haere ana mai a Hatana i roto i a ratou.
7 The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, I haere mai koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, ka mea, I te kopikopiko, i te haereere i te whenua.
8 And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki a Hatana, Kua mahara ranei tou ngakau ki taku pononga, ki a Hopa, kahore hoki he rite mona i te whenua, he tangata ngakau tapatahi, he tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e mawehe ana i te kino?
9 Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, ka mea, He wehi noa ianei to Hopa i te Atua?
10 Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
He teka ianei kua oti ia te karapoti e koe ki te taiepa, me tona whare, me ana mea katoa? Kua manaakitia e koe te mahi a ona ringa, kua nui haere hoki ana kararehe i runga i te whenua.
11 But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
Engari totoro tou ringa, pa atu ki ana mea katoa; ina, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tou aroaro.
12 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki a Hatana, Nana, ko ana mea katoa kei tou ringa, kaua ia tou ringa e totoro ki a ia. Heoi haere atu ana a Hatana i te aroaro o Ihowa.
13 So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
Na, i tetahi o nga ra i te mea e kai ana ana tama, ana tamahine, e inu waina ana i roto i te whare o to ratou tuakana,
14 a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
Ka haere mai tetahi karere ki a Hopa, ka mea, I te parau nga kau, me te kai ano nga kaihe i to ratou taha:
15 and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
Na ka kokiri mai nga Hapeana, kahakina ana ratou; ko nga tangata hoki, patua iho ki te mata o te hoari; ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei korero ki a koe.
16 And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
I tenei ano e korero ana, ka tae mai ano tetahi, ka mea, Kua taka iho he ahi na te Atua i te rangi, a toro ana i roto i nga hipi, i nga tangata, a pau noa, ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei korero ki a koe.
17 And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
I tenei ano e korero ana, ka tae mai ano tetahi, ka mea, Wehea ake e nga Karari e toru nga matua, huaki ana ki nga kamera, kahakina ana e ratou; ko nga tangata patua iho ki te mata o te hoari, a ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei ko rero ki a koe.
18 He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
I tenei ano e korero ana, ka tae mai ano tetahi, ka mea, Ko au atama, ko au tamahine, i te kai, i te inu waina i roto i te whare o to ratou tuakana;
19 when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
Na ko te putanga mai o tetahi hau nui i te koraha, patu pu ki nga koki e wha o te whare, hinga ana ki runga ki nga taitamariki; mate ake ratou; a ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei korero ki a koe.
20 Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
Katahi ka whakatika a Hopa; haea ana e ia tona koroka; heua ana tona mahunga; takoto ana ki te whenua; koropiko ana,
21 and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
A ka mea ia, I puta tahanga mai ahau i te kopu o toku whaea, a ka hoki tahanga atu ano ahau ki reira. Na Ihowa i homai, na Ihowa i tango; kia whakapaingia te ingoa o Ihowa.
22 In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
I tenei katoa kihai a Hopa i hara, kihai ano i whakauware ki ta te Atua.
