Job 1
1 A man, there was—in the land of Uz, Job, his name, —and that man was blameless and upright, and one who revered God, and avoided evil.
Teo t’indaty an-tane Otse añe, Iobe ty tahina’e, ondaty vañoñe naho vantañe, mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare, mpalain-karatiañe.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Nisamake fito lahy re, telo ty anak’ampela’e.
3 And his substance was—seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a body of servants exceeding large, —thus was that man the greatest of all the sons of the East.
I vara’ey: fito arivo ty mpirai-lia’e naho telo arivo ty rameva’e; liman-jato ty katraka’e mpitrao-baoñe naho borìke liman-jato vaho nitozantozañe ty añ’anjomba’e ao. Ie t’indaty ni-lohà’ ze hene nta-tiñanañe.
4 Now his sons were wont to go, and make a banquet, at the house of each one upon his day, —and to send and call their three sisters, to eat and to drink with them.
Lili’ i ana-dahi’e rey ty nanao takataka añ’anjomba’e, sindre ami’ty andro’e vaho nampañitrike naho nañambara amy rahavave’ iareo telo rey ty hitrao-pikama naho rano ama’e.
5 And so it was, when the days of the banquet came round, that Job sent and hallowed them, and rising early in the morning offered ascending-sacrifices according to the number of them all; for Job said, Peradventure my sons have sinned, and have cursed God in their hearts. Thus and thus, was Job wont to do all the days.
Aa ie nimodo ty san-tsabadida’ iareo le nitokave’ Iobe vaho nefera’e. Nañaleñalen-dre nañenga soroñe ty ami’ty ia’iareo iaby, fa hoe t’Iobe, Ke nandilatse o anakoo vaho niteratera an’ Andrianañahare an-tro’e ao. Izay ty nilili’ Iobe.
6 Now there came a certain day, when the sons of God entered in to present themselves unto Yahweh, —so the accuser also entered, in their midst.
Nitsatok’ ami’ty andro niheova’ o anak’ Andrianañahareo añatrefa’ Iehovà te nivotrak’ am’ iereo ka i mpañinjey.
7 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and wandering about therein.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey: Hirik’ aia v’iheo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’ Iehovà, Nimbeo’ mbeo an-tane ey iraho, nijelanjelañe ama’e.
8 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one revering God and avoiding evil?
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey: Hinarahara’o hao t’Iobe mpitoroko? Te tsitantane ty mañirinkiriñe aze; vañon-dre naho ondaty vantañe mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare vaho malain-ty raty.
9 And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Is it, for nought, that Job revereth God?
Nanoiñe Iehovà ami’ty hoe i mpañinjey: Aa vaho an-tsi-vente’e hao ty añeveña’ Iobe aman’ Añahare?
10 Hast not, thou thyself, made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? The work of his hands, thou hast blessed, and, his substance, hath broken forth in the land.
Tsy Ihe hao ty nañarikatok’ aze am-pahetse, ie naho ty anjomba’e naho ze hene ama’e miariseho aze? Nitahie’o ty satam-pità’e vaho manitsike i taney ty vara’e.
11 But, in very deed, put forth, I pray thee, thy hand, and smite all that he hath, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
Ahitio ty fità’o henaneo, paoho o fanaña’e iabio, le toe ho teraterae’e añatrefan-dahara’o.
12 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Lo! all that he hath, is in thy hand, only, against himself, do not put forth thy hand. So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Ingo, fa ambane fehe’o eo o fanaña’e iabio, fe adono tsy hahiti’o ama’e ty taña’o. Aa le nisitak’ ami’ty fiatrefa’ Iehovà i mpañinjey.
13 And there came a certain day, —when his sons and his daughters were eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother.
Ie te indraik’ andro, nanao takataka naho ninon-divay añ’ anjomba’ i zoke-lahi’ey i ana’e rey,
14 And, a messenger, came in unto Job, and said, —The oxen, were plowing, and, the asses, feeding beside them;
le ingo ty nihitrike mb’am’ Iobe mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Nitari-dasary o katrakao le nihinañe marine eo o borìkeo,
15 when the Sabeans swooped down, and took them, and, the young men, smote they with the edge of the sword, —and escaped am, only I alone, too tell thee.
le nañotroke mb’eo o nte-Sabeo naho tinonga’ iereo. Zinama’ iareo am-pibara o mpiarakeo vaho izaho avao ty nahabotitsike hivolañe ama’o!
16 Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, —A fire of God, fell out of the heavens, and burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.
Ie mbe nitalily, avy ka ty raike nanao ty hoe: Nidoiñe boak’ an-dikerañe ey ty afon’ Añahare namorototo o lia raikeo naho o mpiarakeo vaho nimongoreñe, izaho avao ty nivoratsake hitalily ama’o.
17 Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, The Chaldeans, appointed three chiefs, and spread out against the camels, and took them, and, the young men, smote they with the edge of the sword; and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.
Ie mbe nisaontsy, nimb’eo ka ty raike nanao ty hoe: Nizara ho firimboñañe telo o nte-Kaldeao, le hinao’ iareo o rameva iabio. Fonga binaibai’ iareo ami’ty meso-lava o mpiarakeo le izaho avao ty nipoliotse hitaroñ’ ama’o.
18 Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, —Thy sons and thy daughters, were eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother;
Ie mbe nisaontsy, le nimb’eo ka ty raike ninday ty hoe: Nikama naho ninon-divay añ’anjomba’ i zoke-lahi’eo o ana-dahi’o naho anak’ ampela’oo,
19 when lo! a great wind, came from over the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died, —and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.
le ingo niavy ty tio-bey boak’ am-patrambey añe, nikabokaboke i anjombay ami’ty hotso’e efatse naho nihotrak’ am’ondaty tora’eo; fonga nihomake. Izaho avao ty nirombake hitalily ama’o.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell to the earth and worshipped;
Niongak’ amy zao t’Iobe nandriatse ty saro’e naho nañaratse ty añambone’e naho nibabok’ an-tane eo nisoloho,
21 and said—Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked must I return thither, Yahweh, gave, and, Yahweh, hath taken away, —The name of Yahweh be blessed!
vaho hoe re: Niboridan-draho te niboak’ an-kovin-dreneko ao, le hijangeajangeañe ka t’ie himpoliako ao. Nanolotse t’Iehovà, vaho nañombotse t’Iehovà; bangoeñe ty tahina’ Iehovà.
22 In all this, Job sinned not, nor imputed folly unto God.
Ie amy ze iaby, tsy nandilatse t’Iobe, tsy nanisý raha tsy mañeva aman’ Andrianañahare.
