Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil.
Teo t’indaty an-tane Otse añe, Iobe ty tahina’e, ondaty vañoñe naho vantañe, mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare, mpalain-karatiañe.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Nisamake fito lahy re, telo ty anak’ampela’e.
3 He possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants. He was the man who was the greatest of all the people 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 On each son's assigned day, he would give a feast in his house. They would send and call for their three sisters to eat and 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 When the days of the feast were over, Job would send for them and he would consecrate them. He would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings for each of his children, for he would say, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job always did this.
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 Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them.
Nitsatok’ ami’ty andro niheova’ o anak’ Andrianañahareo añatrefa’ Iehovà te nivotrak’ am’ iereo ka i mpañinjey.
7 Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on it.”
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 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns from 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 Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God without reason?
Nanoiñe Iehovà ami’ty hoe i mpañinjey: Aa vaho an-tsi-vente’e hao ty añeveña’ Iobe aman’ Añahare?
10 Have you not put a barrier around him, around his house, and around all that is his from every side? You have blessed the deeds of his hands, and his cattle have burst 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 now stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
Ahitio ty fità’o henaneo, paoho o fanaña’e iabio, le toe ho teraterae’e añatrefan-dahara’o.
12 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not stretch out your hand.” Then Satan went away 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 It came about that on a certain day, his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
Ie te indraik’ andro, nanao takataka naho ninon-divay añ’ anjomba’ i zoke-lahi’ey i ana’e rey,
14 A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were 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 Then the Sabeans fell on them and took them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups, attacked the camels, and have taken them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 While he was yet speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
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 A strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 rose, tore his robe, shaved his head, lay facedown on the ground, and worshiped God.
Niongak’ amy zao t’Iobe nandriatse ty saro’e naho nañaratse ty añambone’e naho nibabok’ an-tane eo nisoloho,
21 He said, “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I will return there. It is Yahweh who gave, and it is Yahweh who has taken away. May 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 matter, Job did not sin, nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing.
Ie amy ze iaby, tsy nandilatse t’Iobe, tsy nanisý raha tsy mañeva aman’ Andrianañahare.
