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.
Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them to present himself before Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on 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.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. He still holds fast to his integrity, although you misled me against him, to destroy 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.
Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Skin for skin, indeed; a man will give all he has 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 stretch out your hand now and touch his bones and his flesh, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
6 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, Nana, kei tou ringa ia: otiia kia tupato kei mate rawa ia.
Yahweh said to Satan, “See, he is in your hand; it is only his life that you must spare.”
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.
Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh. He struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his feet to his head.
8 Na ka mau ia ki tetahi maramara rihi hei waru i a ia, a noho ana i roto i te pungarehu.
Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself with, and he sat down in the middle of ashes.
9 Katahi tana wahine ka mea ki a ia, ka u tonu koia koe ki tou tapatahitanga? kanga te Atua, ka mate ai.
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse 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.
But he said to her, “You talk as a foolish woman talks. Should we receive the good from God and not receive the bad?” In all this matter, 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 of all this evil that had come on him, each of them came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They set a time to come to mourn with him and to 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.
When they lifted up their eyes at a distance, they did not recognize him. They raised their voices and wept; each tore his robe and threw dust into the air and upon his own head.
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.
Then they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights. No one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
