Hopa 2
1 He ra ano ka haere mai nga tama a te Atua, kia tu i te aroaro o Ihowa. A ka haere mai hoki a Hatana i roto i a ratou ki te aroaro o Ihowa tu ai.
And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
2 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, i haere mai koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, I te kopikopiko, i te haereere i te whenua.
That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it.
3 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, Kua mahara ranei tou ngakau ki taku tangata, ki a Hopa? kahore he rite mona i te whenua, he tangata ngakau tapatahi, he tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e mawehe ana i te kino; u tonu ano hoki tona tapatahitanga, ahakoa e whakaoho ana koe i ahau ki te he mona, kia whakangaromia noatia ia.
And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause.
4 Na ka utua e Hatana ta Ihowa, ka mea ia, He kiri mo te kiri; ae ra, ko nga mea katoa hoki a te tangata ka hoatu hei utu mona kia ora.
And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will give for his life:
5 Engari kia totoro atu tou ringa, kia pa ki tona wheua, ki ona kikokiko, ina, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tou aroaro.
But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless thee to thy face.
6 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, Nana, kei tou ringa ia: otiia kia tupato kei mate rawa ia.
And the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save his life.
7 Heoi ka haere atu a Hatana i te aroaro o Ihowa; patua iho e ia a Hopa ki te whewhe kino i te kapu o tona waewae, a tae noa ki tona tumuaki.
So Satan went forth from the presence Of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:
8 Na ka mau ia ki tetahi maramara rihi hei waru i a ia, a noho ana i roto i te pungarehu.
And he took a potsherd and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
9 Katahi tana wahine ka mea ki a ia, ka u tonu koia koe ki tou tapatahitanga? kanga te Atua, ka mate ai.
And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.
10 Ano ra ko ia ki a ia, Rite tonu to kupu ki te kupu a tetahi o nga wahine kuware. Ha! kia whiwhi tatou ki te pai i te Atua, a kia kaua e whiwhi ki te kino? I tenei katoa kihai i hara nga ngutu o Hopa.
And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Na, i te rongonga o nga hoa tokotoru o Hopa ki tenei aitua katoa i pa nei ki a ia, ka haere mai ratou i tona wahi, i tona wahi, a Eripata Temani, a Pirirara Huhi, a Topara Naamati: he mea whakarite hoki na ratou ki a ratou ano kia haere mai ki t e tangi ki a ia, ki te whakamarie i a ia.
Now when Job’s three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him.
12 Na, i te marangatanga o o ratou kanohi i tawhiti, a kihai ratou i mohio ki a ia, na kua ara to ratou reo, tangi ana; haea ana tona koroka, tona koroka, ruia iho e ratou he puehu ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, he mea akiri atu whaka te rangi.
And when they had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven.
13 Heoi noho ana ratou i tona taha ki te whenua, e whitu nga ra, e whitu nga po, kihai hoki i puaki he kupu a tetahi ki a ia: i kite hoki ratou he nui rawa tona pouri.
And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great.
