1 Korapara mago nera Jopu'e nehaza nekino Usi mopafi mani'ne. Agra hazenke'a omne ne' maka zampina mani fatgo huno nemanino, Anumzamofonku korora nehuno kefo avu'ava'zana amefi hunemia ne' mani'ne.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
2 Jopu'a 7ni'a ne' mofavreraminki 3'a mofa'neraminki huno zamante'ne.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
3 Hagi fenoma ante'neana 7tauseni'a sipisipi afutaminki, 3tauseni'a kemoli afutaminki, hozama eri bulimakao afutamina 500'agi, 500'a a' donki afutaminki huno nenteno, rama'a eri'za vahetamima'a mani'neankino, maka vahe'ma zage hanati kazigama mani'naza vahera Jopu'a zamagatereno tusi'a feno ne' mani'ne.
And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.
4 Hagi Jopu ne' mofavreramimo'za zamasarahehe'ina kehazage'za e'za, magomofo nompi atru hu'za tusi'a ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkasea hutere hu'naze.
His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.
5 Hagi ana'ma hu'za ne'zama kre'za nene'za musenkasema huvagama retazageno'a, mofavre'amo'za ne'zama kre'za nene'za musenkasema hazafina kumima nehu'za Anumzamofoma huhaviza hunte'nesagura, nanterana Jopu'a ana maka mofavreramima'a kehutru huno zmente zmente sipisipi afura aheno tevefi kre fananehu ofa huno zamazeri agru Anumzamofo avurera hutere hu'ne.
And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.
6 Hagi mago zupa Anumzamofo ankero vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga atru hunaku neazageno, Sata'a anampina egeno,
And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
7 Ra Anumzamo'a antahigeno, Kagra igati ane? Higeno Sata'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra mopafi vano vano nehuregati oe.
And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
8 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Eri'za vahe'ni'a Jopu'a maka zampina mani fatgo huno nemanino, Anumzamo'nagu korera nehuno, kefo avu'ava zana amefi hunemia ne' mani'neanki kagra ke'nano?
And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?
9 Huno antahigegeno Sata'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofona kenona hunte'ne, Kagra tamage hananagi, Jopu'a agafa'a me'nere agra Anumzamokagura korora hunegante.
And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Is it for nothing that Job is a god-fearing man?
10 Kagra vihugna hu'nenka mika kaziga agri'ene a' mofavre'ane mika'zama'anena kegava hunte'nane. Hagi agrama mani'nea mopafina mika zama hiazana asomu hunentankeno afufeno zama'amo'a ome ra huno mika zampina avite'ne.
Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?
11 Hianagi kzama rusutenka mika zama'ama ahe fananema hanankeno'a, kavu negesankeno huhaviza hugantegahie.
But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
12 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra hu izo hugantoanki, vunka Jopu'ma ante'nea zantmintera amne avako hunka eri haviza hugahane. Hianagi Jopu avufgarera avakora osutfa huo. Anage higeno Ra Anumzamofo avugatira Sata'a atreno vu'ne.
And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
13 Hagi mago zupa Jopu ne'mofamo'za nempu'zimimofo nompi ne'zana kre'za nene'za waini tina nene'za musenkase nehu'za mani'nazageno,
And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,
14 eri'za ne'mo'a Jopunte eno amanage eme hu'ne, Hozama eri bulimakao afutmimo'za hoza enerizageno, donki afutamimo'za trazana ana hoza tavaonte nene'za mani'nazageno,
And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:
15 Sabea kumateti vahe'mo'za e'za ha' eme hurante'za, ana maka eri'za vahetmina bainati kazinteti zamahe hana nehu'za, bulimakao afutamine donki afutaminena maka zamavare hana hu'za vazage'na, nagrake'za mani'nena ana naneke kasminaku fre'na oe.
And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
16 Anage huno ana nanekema asmi vagaore'negeno ete mago eri'za ne'mo'a, agareno eno amanage eme hu'ne, Anumzamofo tevemo monafinti eramino mika sipisipi afutaminka'ane mika sipisipi afu kva vahetaminena teno eri hana hige'na anampintira nagrake mani'nena ana naneke kasminaku fre'na oe.
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
17 Anage huno ana nanekea asmi vagaore'negeno, ete nampa 3 eri'za ne'mo'a agareno eno amanage eme hu'ne, 3'a kevu hu'za e'naza Kaldia vahe'mo'za eri'za vaheka'a mika bainati kazinteti eme zamahe hana nehu'za, mika kemori afuka'aramina musufase'za vazage'na, anampintira nagrake frena ana naneke kasminaku oe.
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
18 Anage huno ana nanekea asmi vagaore'negeno, ete mago eri'za ne'mo'a agareno eno amanage eme hu'ne, Ne'mofaka'amo'za nempu'zmimofo nompi ne'zana kre'za neneza waini tina nene'za musenkase nehu'za mani'nazageno,
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,
19 ame huno ka'ma kokampinti tusi'a zaho erino eno, anama mani'naza nomofona mika kaziga asoparega eme amino ahe pasru hutregeno, ana nomo'a pasru huno ana maka ne'mofaka'a zamahe fri vagarege'na, ana knazampintira nagrake atiramina fre'na kasaminaku oe.
When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
20 Higeno Jopu'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, tusi asunku nehuno otino zaza kukena'a tagato nehuno, aseni azokara hareno eri rampage nehuno, mopafi maseno Anumzamofona mono hunenteno,
Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,
21 amanage hu'ne, Nenarera arimpafintira kukena osu navufa navapake e'noanki'na, fri'na vanuana navufa navapa vugahue. Agra Ra Anumzamo namiteno, ete Agra'a e'nerie. E'ina hu'neanki'na, Ra Anumzamofo ra agi amue.
With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.
22 Hagi ama ana mika knazampima Jopu'ma unefreno'a, Ra Anumzamofona kna amino huhaviza hunteno kumira osu'ne.
In all this Job did no sin, and did not say that God's acts were foolish.
