< Jovu 1 >
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 Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.
2 Jopu'a 7ni'a ne' mofavreraminki 3'a mofa'neraminki huno zamante'ne.
And there were born to him 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 his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceeding great: and this man was great among all the people 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.
And his sons went, and made a feast by houses every one in his day. And sending they called their three sisters to eat and drink 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 when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days.
6 Hagi mago zupa Anumzamofo ankero vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga atru hunaku neazageno, Sata'a anampina egeno,
Now on a certain day when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present among 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 him: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through 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 him: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding 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 Satan answering, said: Doth Job fear God in vain?
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.
Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth?
11 Hianagi kzama rusutenka mika zama'ama ahe fananema hanankeno'a, kavu negesankeno huhaviza hugantegahie.
But stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he blesseth thee not to thy 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.
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of 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,
Now upon a certain day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest 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,
There came a messenger to Job, and said: The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
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 Sabeans rushed in, and took all away, and slew the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 while he was yet speaking, another came, and said: The fire of God fell from heaven, and striking the sheep and the servants, hath consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 while he also was yet speaking, there came another, and said: The Chaldeans made three troops, and have fallen upon the camels, and taken them, moreover they have slain the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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,
He was yet speaking, and behold another came in, and said: Thy sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their elder brother:
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.
A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house, and it fell upon thy children and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to fell thee.
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 rose up, and rent his garments, and having shaven his head fell down upon the ground and worshipped,
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.
And said: Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: as it hath pleased the Lord so is it done: blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 Hagi ama ana mika knazampima Jopu'ma unefreno'a, Ra Anumzamofona kna amino huhaviza hunteno kumira osu'ne.
In all these things Job sinned not by his lips, nor spoke he any foolish thing against God.
