Job 2
1 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
Ary tamin’ ny indray andro koa dia avy ireo zanak’ Andriamanitra hiseho teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka dia mba tonga teo koa Satana tafaharo taminy hiseho teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
2 And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Satana: Avy taiza ianao? Ary Satana dia namaly an’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Avy nizahazaha teny amin’ ny tany aho ka nivezivezy teny.
3 And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Satana: Efa nandinika an’ i Joba mpanompoko va ianao? Fa tsy misy tahaka azy eny ambonin’ ny tany, fa olona marina sy mahitsy izy sady matahotra an’ Andriamanitra ka mifady ny ratsy? Ary mbola mitana mafy ny fahamarinany ihany izy, na dia nanesika Ahy hamongotra azy foana aza ianao.
4 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
Ary Satana dia namaly an’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Hoditra fefin’ ny hoditra, eny, izay rehetra ananan’ ny olona dia homeny ho-fefin’ ny ainy.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Fa ahinjiro ange ny tananao, ka tendreo ny taolany sy ny nofony raha tsy handà Anao eo Imasonao aza Izy e!
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Satana: Indro, eo an-tananao izy; ny ainy tokana ihany no aza asiana.
7 And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Dia nivoaka Satana avy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ka namely vay ratsy an’ i Joba hatramin’ ny faladiany ka hatramin’ ny tampon-dohany.
8 And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Dia naka tavim-bilany hihaorany izy, raha nipetraka teo an-davenona.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Ary hoy ny vadiny taminy: Mbola mitana ny fahamarinanao ihany va ianao? Mahafoiza an’ Andriamanitra ianao, dia aoka ho faty.
10 And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
Fa hoy izy taminy: Tahaka ny tenin’ ny anankiray amin’ ny vehivavy adala ny teninao. Moa ny soa ihany va no horaisintsika avy amin’ Andriamanitra, fa tsy ny ratsy koa? Tamin’ izany rehetra izany dia tsy nanota tamin’ ny molony Joba.
11 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
Ary rehefa ren’ ny sakaizan’ i Joba telo lahy ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo azy, dia samy niainga avy tany amin’ ny fonenany avy izy dia Elifaza Temanita sy Bildada Sohita ary Zofara Namatita ary nifamotoana izy mba handeha hitsapa alahelo sy hampionona azy.
12 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
Ary nanopy ny masony teny lavidavitra eny izy telo lahy ka tsy nahafantatra azy, dia nanandratra ny feony izy ka nitomany; ary samy nandriatra ny lambany avy koa izy rehetra, dia nanopy vovoka ho amin’ ny lanitra hiraraka amin’ ny lohany.
13 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
Ary niara-nipetraka teo aminy tamin’ ny tany hafitoan’ andro sy hafitoan’ alina izy, nefa tsy nisy niteny taminy na dia indraim-bava akory aza, satria hitany fa mafy loatra ny fahoriany.
