Job 2

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Ary tamin'ny indray andro koa dia avy ireo zanak'Andriamanitra hiseho teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, ka dia mba tonga teo koa Satana tafaharo taminy hiseho teo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Satana: Avy taiza ianao? Ary Satana dia namaly an'i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Avy nizahazaha teny amin'ny tany aho ka nivezivezy teny.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Satana: Efa nandinika an'i Joba mpanompoko va ianao? Fa tsy misy tahaka azy eny ambonin'ny tany, fa olona marina sy mahitsy izy sady matahotra an'Andriamanitra ka mifady ny ratsy? Ary mbola mitana mafy ny fahamarinany ihany izy, na dia nanesika Ahy hamongotra azy foana aza ianao.

And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

Ary Satana dia namaly an'i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Hoditra fefin'ny hoditra, eny, izay rehetra ananan'ny olona dia homeny ho-fefin'ny ainy.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Fa ahinjiro ange ny tananao, ka tendreo ny taolany sy ny nofony raha tsy handà Anao eo Imasonao aza Izy e!

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Satana: Indro, eo an-tananao izy; ny ainy tokana ihany no aza asiana.

So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

Dia nivoaka Satana avy teo anatrehan'i Jehovah ka namely vay ratsy an'i Joba hatramin'ny faladiany ka hatramin'ny tampon-dohany.

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

Dia naka tavim-bilany hihaorany izy, raha nipetraka teo an-davenona.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

Ary hoy ny vadiny taminy: Mbola mitana ny fahamarinanao ihany va ianao? Mahafoiza an'Andriamanitra ianao, dia aoka ho faty.

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

Fa hoy izy taminy: Tahaka ny tenin'ny anankiray amin'ny vehivavy adala ny teninao. Moa ny soa ihany va no horaisintsika avy amin'Andriamanitra, fa tsy ny ratsy koa? Tamin'izany rehetra izany dia tsy nanota tamin'ny molony Joba.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

Ary rehefa ren'ny sakaizan'i Joba telo lahy ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo azy, dia samy niainga avy tany amin'ny fonenany avy izy dia Elifaza Temanita sy Bildada Sohita ary Zofara Namatita ary nifamotoana izy mba handeha hitsapa alahelo sy hampionona azy.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

Ary nanopy ny masony teny lavidavitra eny izy telo lahy ka tsy nahafantatra azy, dia nanandratra ny feony izy ka nitomany; ary samy nandriatra ny lambany avy koa izy rehetra, dia nanopy vovoka ho amin'ny lanitra hiraraka amin'ny lohany.

So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Ary niara-nipetraka teo aminy tamin'ny tany hafitoan'andro sy hafitoan'alina izy, nefa tsy nisy niteny taminy na dia indraim-bava akory aza, satria hitany fa mafy loatra ny fahoriany.
