< 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.
Tendreke indraike te ie nitotsak’eo o anan’ Añahareo hiatrek’ am’ Iehovà, le nitsatok’ am’ iareo ao ka i mpañinjey hiatrefa’e am’ Iehovà.
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."
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Boak’ aia v’iheo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’ Iehovà, Boak’ ami’ty fihelahelàko an-tane añe naho ty fijelanjelañako ama’e.
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."
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Fa hinarahara’o hao Iobe mpitorokoy? t’ie tsy añirinkiriñañe an-tane atoy, fa ondaty vañoñe tsy aman-kila; añeveña’e t’i Andrianañahare naho ambohoa’e ty raty; vaho mbe tana’e ty havantaña’e ndra te ihe nañosik’ Ahy ama’e, handrotsak’ aze tsy aman-tali’e.
4 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’Iehovà, Holitse hasolo holitse, eka, hatolo’ ondaty ze hene fanaña’e ty amy fiai’e.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
Fe ahitio henaneo o fità’oo naho gineo ty taola’e naho ty nofo’e vaho honjira’e an-dahara’o.
6 The LORD said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Ingo an-taña’o re; fe arovo ty fiai’e.
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.
Aa le nienga boak’ añ’atrefa’ Iehovà i mpañinjey vaho zinevo’e am-bae-tovoañe t’Iobe mifotots’ an-dela-pandia’e pak’an-dengo’ i añambone’ey.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
Nandrambe tseram-balàñe re hangaotse ty sandri’e, ie niambesatse an-davenoke ao.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
Le hoe ty vali’e tama’e: Mbe ifahara’o hao ty havañona’o? Injeo t’i Andrianañahare vaho mihomaha.
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 hoe re tama’e, Manao tambaimbain-drakemba deren-drehe. Ty soa avao hao ty ho rambesentika am-pitàn’Añahare? Tsy hirambesañe ka hao ty raty? Amy ie iaby zay, tsy nandilatse am-pivimby t’Iobe.
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.
Aa naho nahajanjiñe i fonga feh’ohatse nifetsak’ ama’ey ty rañe’ Iobe telo, le songa nienga an-toe’e t’i Elifatse nte-Temane naho i Bildade nte Sohe vaho i Tsofare nte Naamate, ie fa nifamotoañe te hiheo mb’ama’e hiferenaiñe vaho hañohò’ aze.
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.
Aa ie nampiandram-pihaino eñe le tsy nahafohiñe aze vaho nipoñafe’ iereo ty fangoihoy; songa nandriatse ty saro’e naho nampibobo debok’ ambone’ ty añambone’e mb’ an-dikerañe ey.
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.
Aa le nindre niambesatse ama’e an-tane eo fito andro naho fito haleñe iereo, sindre tsy nahakofòke volan-draik’ ama’e: amy t’ie nahaoniñe ty halozan-kaorea’e.
