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.
Once there was a man called Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of integrity who did what was right. He respected God and avoided evil.
2 Jopu'a 7ni'a ne' mofavreraminki 3'a mofa'neraminki huno zamante'ne.
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.
He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred teams of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, as well as many servants. He was more wealthy than anyone else in 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.
Job's sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes on their specific day, also inviting their sisters to come and 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.
When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and purify them by getting up early in the morning to offer a burnt offering for each of them. He was concerned, thinking to himself, “Maybe my children have sinned in some way and have unintentionally offended God.” This is what Job always did.
6 Hagi mago zupa Anumzamofo ankero vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga atru hunaku neazageno, Sata'a anampina egeno,
One day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and 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.
The Lord asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
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?
“Have you paid attention to Job, my servant?” asked the Lord. “There's no one like him on earth, a man of integrity who does what is right, who respects God and avoids 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.
“Is it for nothing that Job respects God?” Satan answered. “You've placed a protective fence around him and his family—in fact around everything he has.
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.
You have blessed everything he does. His flocks and herds have increased so much they fill the whole land!
11 Hianagi kzama rusutenka mika zama'ama ahe fananema hanankeno'a, kavu negesankeno huhaviza hugantegahie.
But if you reach out and take everything he has, he will definitely curse 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.
The Lord told Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to everything he has, but don't hurt him physically.” Then Satan left the Lord's presence.
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,
The day came when while Job's sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
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,
a messenger came to Job and told him, “As the oxen were plowing and female donkeys were grazing nearby,
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.
the Sabeans attacked and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this 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.
While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and set the sheep and shepherds on fire and burned them up. Only I escaped to bring you this 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.
While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Three armed companies of Chaldeans attacked the camels and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this 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,
While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest 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.
when all of a sudden a tremendous wind came in from the desert. It hit the house on all four sides so that it collapsed on them and they died. Only I escaped to bring you this 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 stood up and tore his robe. Then cut off his hair and fell to the ground in worship.
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.
“I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I shall be naked when I leave,” he said. “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. May the Lord's name be honored.”
22 Hagi ama ana mika knazampima Jopu'ma unefreno'a, Ra Anumzamofona kna amino huhaviza hunteno kumira osu'ne.
In all of this Job did not sin, nor blame God.
