< Job 2 >
1 And 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, to present himself unto Yahweh.
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 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 from wandering about therein.
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 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 who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up 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 the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he 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 In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
Fe ahitio henaneo o fità’oo naho gineo ty taola’e naho ty nofo’e vaho honjira’e an-dahara’o.
6 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, —only, his life, preserve thou!
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Ingo an-taña’o re; fe arovo ty fiai’e.
7 So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.
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 him a potsherd, to scrape himself therewith; he being seated in the midst of ashes.
Nandrambe tseram-balàñe re hangaotse ty sandri’e, ie niambesatse an-davenoke ao.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine 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 And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not 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 the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, —they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, —for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy 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 And, when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept—and rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
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 And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, —and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
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.
