Job 2
1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
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 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on 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 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
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 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give 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 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse 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 The LORD said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Satana: Indro, eo an-tananao izy; ny ainy tokana ihany no aza asiana.
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
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 took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
Dia naka tavim-bilany hihaorany izy, raha nipetraka teo an-davenona.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
Ary hoy ny vadiny taminy: Mbola mitana ny fahamarinanao ihany va ianao? Mahafoiza an’ Andriamanitra ianao, dia aoka ho faty.
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin 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 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with 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 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
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 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was 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.
