Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away 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 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children 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 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for 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 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.
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 on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them.
Nitsatok’ ami’ty andro niheova’ o anak’ Andrianañahareo añatrefa’ Iehovà te nivotrak’ am’ iereo ka i mpañinjey.
7 The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in 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 The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away 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 the LORD, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
Nanoiñe Iehovà ami’ty hoe i mpañinjey: Aa vaho an-tsi-vente’e hao ty añeveña’ Iobe aman’ Añahare?
10 Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased 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 stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
Ahitio ty fità’o henaneo, paoho o fanaña’e iabio, le toe ho teraterae’e añatrefan-dahara’o.
12 The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
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 fell on a day when 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 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys 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 and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and 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 has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and 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 Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and 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 still speaking, there came also another, 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 and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. 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 arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
Niongak’ amy zao t’Iobe nandriatse ty saro’e naho nañaratse ty añambone’e naho nibabok’ an-tane eo nisoloho,
21 He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the LORD’s name.”
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 didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
Ie amy ze iaby, tsy nandilatse t’Iobe, tsy nanisý raha tsy mañeva aman’ Andrianañahare.
