Job 1
1 There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill.
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 he had seue sonnes, and three daughters.
Na ka puta ona uri, tokowhitu nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.
3 His substance also was seuen thousande sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundreth yoke of oxen, and fiue hundreth shee asses, and his family was very great, so that this man was the greatest of all the men 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 sonnes went and banketted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent, and called their three sisters to eate and to drinke 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 dayes of their banketting were gone about, Iob sent, and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offred burnt offrings according to the nomber of them all. For Iob thought, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts: thus did Iob euery day.
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 Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also 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 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking 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 saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?
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 Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?
Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, ka mea, He wehi noa ianei to Hopa i te Atua?
10 Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is 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 stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
Engari totoro tou ringa, pa atu ki ana mea katoa; ina, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tou aroaro.
12 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence 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 And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers 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 There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places,
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 Shabeans came violently, and tooke them: yea, they haue slayne the seruants with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayde, The fire of God is fallen from the heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe and the seruants, and deuoured them: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayd, The Caldeans set on three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue taken them, and haue slayne the seruantes with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 And whiles he was yet speaking, came an other, and sayd, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
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 And behold, there came a great wind from beyonde the wildernesse, and smote the foure corners of the house, which fel vpon the children, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 Iob arose, and rent his garment, and shaued his head, and fel downe vpon 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 sayd, Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I returne thither: the Lord hath giuen, and the Lord hath taken it: 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 did not Iob sinne, nor charge God foolishly.
I tenei katoa kihai a Hopa i hara, kihai ano i whakauware ki ta te Atua.
