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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Engari kia totoro atu tou ringa, kia pa ki tona wheua, ki ona kikokiko, ina, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tou aroaro.

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

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, Nana, kei tou ringa ia: otiia kia tupato kei mate rawa ia.

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.

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.

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

Na ka mau ia ki tetahi maramara rihi hei waru i a ia, a noho ana i roto i te pungarehu.

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

Katahi tana wahine ka mea ki a ia, ka u tonu koia koe ki tou tapatahitanga? kanga te Atua, ka mate ai.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
