< 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 Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Jopu'a 7ni'a ne' mofavreraminki 3'a mofa'neraminki huno zamante'ne.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
6 Hagi mago zupa Anumzamofo ankero vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga atru hunaku neazageno, Sata'a anampina egeno,
Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came amongst 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 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.”
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?
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.”
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.
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
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.
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.
11 Hianagi kzama rusutenka mika zama'ama ahe fananema hanankeno'a, kavu negesankeno huhaviza hugantegahie.
But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce 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 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.
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,
It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest 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,
that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were ploughing, and the donkeys 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 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.”
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 also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burnt up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 also came and said, “The Chaldeans 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.”
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, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine 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.
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.”
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 arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on 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.
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.”
22 Hagi ama ana mika knazampima Jopu'ma unefreno'a, Ra Anumzamofona kna amino huhaviza hunteno kumira osu'ne.
In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
