Joba 2
1 Tendreke indraike te ie nitotsak’eo o anan’ Añahareo hiatrek’ am’ Iehovà, le nitsatok’ am’ iareo ao ka i mpañinjey hiatrefa’e am’ Iehovà.
And on a day the children of God came and stood before the Lord, and Satan came also among them, and stoode before the Lord.
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Boak’ aia v’iheo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’ Iehovà, Boak’ ami’ty fihelahelàko an-tane añe naho ty fijelanjelañako ama’e.
Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and sayd, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
3 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Fa hinarahara’o hao Iobe mpitorokoy? t’ie tsy añirinkiriñañe an-tane atoy, fa ondaty vañoñe tsy aman-kila; añeveña’e t’i Andrianañahare naho ambohoa’e ty raty; vaho mbe tana’e ty havantaña’e ndra te ihe nañosik’ Ahy ama’e, handrotsak’ aze tsy aman-tali’e.
And the Lord sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? for yet he continueth in his vprightnesse, although thou mouedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’Iehovà, Holitse hasolo holitse, eka, hatolo’ ondaty ze hene fanaña’e ty amy fiai’e.
And Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue for his life.
5 Fe ahitio henaneo o fità’oo naho gineo ty taola’e naho ty nofo’e vaho honjira’e an-dahara’o.
But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
6 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Ingo an-taña’o re; fe arovo ty fiai’e.
Then the Lord said vnto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but saue his life.
7 Aa le nienga boak’ añ’atrefa’ Iehovà i mpañinjey vaho zinevo’e am-bae-tovoañe t’Iobe mifotots’ an-dela-pandia’e pak’an-dengo’ i añambone’ey.
So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore boyles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.
8 Nandrambe tseram-balàñe re hangaotse ty sandri’e, ie niambesatse an-davenoke ao.
And he tooke a potsharde to scrape him, and he sate downe among the ashes.
9 Le hoe ty vali’e tama’e: Mbe ifahara’o hao ty havañona’o? Injeo t’i Andrianañahare vaho mihomaha.
Then said his wife vnto him, Doest thou continue yet in thine vprightnes? Blaspheme God, and dye.
10 Fa hoe re tama’e, Manao tambaimbain-drakemba deren-drehe. Ty soa avao hao ty ho rambesentika am-pitàn’Añahare? Tsy hirambesañe ka hao ty raty? Amy ie iaby zay, tsy nandilatse am-pivimby t’Iobe.
But he said vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: what? shall we receiue good at the hande of God, and not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.
11 Aa naho nahajanjiñe i fonga feh’ohatse nifetsak’ ama’ey ty rañe’ Iobe telo, le songa nienga an-toe’e t’i Elifatse nte-Temane naho i Bildade nte Sohe vaho i Tsofare nte Naamate, ie fa nifamotoañe te hiheo mb’ama’e hiferenaiñe vaho hañohò’ aze.
Nowe when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place, to wit, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they were agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort him.
12 Aa ie nampiandram-pihaino eñe le tsy nahafohiñe aze vaho nipoñafe’ iereo ty fangoihoy; songa nandriatse ty saro’e naho nampibobo debok’ ambone’ ty añambone’e mb’ an-dikerañe ey.
So when they lift vp their eyes a farre off, they knewe him not: therefore they lift vp their voyces and wept, and euery one of them rent his garment, and sprinkled dust vpon their heads toward the heauen.
13 Aa le nindre niambesatse ama’e an-tane eo fito andro naho fito haleñe iereo, sindre tsy nahakofòke volan-draik’ ama’e: amy t’ie nahaoniñe ty halozan-kaorea’e.
So they sate by him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a worde vnto him: for they sawe, that the griefe was very great.
