Job 1
1 Once there was a man called Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of integrity who did what was right. He respected God and avoided 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 He had seven sons and three daughters.
Na ka puta ona uri, tokowhitu nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.
3 He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred teams of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, as well as many servants. He was more wealthy than anyone else in 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 Job's sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes on their specific day, also inviting their sisters to come and 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 When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and purify them by getting up early in the morning to offer a burnt offering for each of them. He was concerned, thinking to himself, “Maybe my children have sinned in some way and have unintentionally offended God.” This is what Job always did.
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 One day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan came with 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 asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
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 “Have you paid attention to Job, my servant?” asked the Lord. “There's no one like him on earth, a man of integrity who does what is right, who respects God and avoids 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 “Is it for nothing that Job respects God?” Satan answered. “You've placed a protective fence around him and his family—in fact around everything he has.
Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, ka mea, He wehi noa ianei to Hopa i te Atua?
10 You have blessed everything he does. His flocks and herds have increased so much they fill the whole 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 if you reach out and take everything he has, he will definitely curse 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 The Lord told Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to everything he has, but don't hurt him physically.” Then Satan left the Lord's presence.
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 The day came when while Job's sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
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 and told him, “As the oxen were plowing and female donkeys were grazing nearby,
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 the Sabeans attacked and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
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 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and set the sheep and shepherds on fire and burned them up. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
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 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Three armed companies of Chaldeans attacked the camels and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
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 While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest 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 all of a sudden a tremendous wind came in from the desert. It hit the house on all four sides so that it collapsed on them and they died. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
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 stood up and tore his robe. Then cut off his hair and fell to the ground in worship.
Katahi ka whakatika a Hopa; haea ana e ia tona koroka; heua ana tona mahunga; takoto ana ki te whenua; koropiko ana,
21 “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I shall be naked when I leave,” he said. “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. May the Lord's name be honored.”
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 of this Job did not sin, nor blame God.
I tenei katoa kihai a Hopa i hara, kihai ano i whakauware ki ta te Atua.
