Job 1

Tera tetahi tangata i te whenua o Uhu, ko Hopa tona ingoa; a ko taua tangata he tangata tapatahi, he tika, he tangata wehi ki te Atua, mawehe i te kino.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Na ka puta ona uri, tokowhitu nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Ko ana rawa hoki, e whitu mano nga hipi, e toru mano nga kamera, ko nga kau, e rima rau nga ioka, e rima rau nga kaihe uha, a ko ana pononga he tini noa atu; na reira nui atu taua tangata i nga tangata katoa o te rawhiti.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
Na ka haere ana tama, ka taka he hakari ki o ratou whare, he ra ki to tenei, he ra ki to tenei; a ka tukua he karere hei karanga i o ratou tuahine tokotoru kia kai tahi, kia inu tahi ratou.
And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
A ka taka nga ra o ta ratou kai hakari, ka unga tangata a Hopa, a whakatapua ana ratou, maranga wawe ana ia i te ata, whakaekea ana e ia he tahunga tinana, rite tonu ki a ratou katoa te maha; i mea hoki a Hopa, Tera pea kua hara aku tama, kua kan ga ki te Atua i roto i o ratou ngakau. Ko ta Hopa mahi tonu tenei i nga ra katoa.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Na i tetahi o aua ra ka haere mai nga tama a te Atua, kia tu ai ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa, a haere ana mai a Hatana i roto i a ratou.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, I haere mai koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, ka mea, I te kopikopiko, i te haereere i te whenua.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki a Hatana, Kua mahara ranei tou ngakau ki taku pononga, ki a Hopa, kahore hoki he rite mona i te whenua, he tangata ngakau tapatahi, he tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e mawehe ana i te kino?
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?
Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, ka mea, He wehi noa ianei to Hopa i te Atua?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
He teka ianei kua oti ia te karapoti e koe ki te taiepa, me tona whare, me ana mea katoa? Kua manaakitia e koe te mahi a ona ringa, kua nui haere hoki ana kararehe i runga i te whenua.
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Engari totoro tou ringa, pa atu ki ana mea katoa; ina, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tou aroaro.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki a Hatana, Nana, ko ana mea katoa kei tou ringa, kaua ia tou ringa e totoro ki a ia. Heoi haere atu ana a Hatana i te aroaro o Ihowa.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Na, i tetahi o nga ra i te mea e kai ana ana tama, ana tamahine, e inu waina ana i roto i te whare o to ratou tuakana,
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Ka haere mai tetahi karere ki a Hopa, ka mea, I te parau nga kau, me te kai ano nga kaihe i to ratou taha:
And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
Na ka kokiri mai nga Hapeana, kahakina ana ratou; ko nga tangata hoki, patua iho ki te mata o te hoari; ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei korero ki a koe.
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
I tenei ano e korero ana, ka tae mai ano tetahi, ka mea, Kua taka iho he ahi na te Atua i te rangi, a toro ana i roto i nga hipi, i nga tangata, a pau noa, ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei korero ki a koe.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
I tenei ano e korero ana, ka tae mai ano tetahi, ka mea, Wehea ake e nga Karari e toru nga matua, huaki ana ki nga kamera, kahakina ana e ratou; ko nga tangata patua iho ki te mata o te hoari, a ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei ko rero ki a koe.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
I tenei ano e korero ana, ka tae mai ano tetahi, ka mea, Ko au atama, ko au tamahine, i te kai, i te inu waina i roto i te whare o to ratou tuakana;
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Na ko te putanga mai o tetahi hau nui i te koraha, patu pu ki nga koki e wha o te whare, hinga ana ki runga ki nga taitamariki; mate ake ratou; a ko ahau anake kua mawhiti mai, toku kotahi, hei korero ki a koe.
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Katahi ka whakatika a Hopa; haea ana e ia tona koroka; heua ana tona mahunga; takoto ana ki te whenua; koropiko ana,
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
A ka mea ia, I puta tahanga mai ahau i te kopu o toku whaea, a ka hoki tahanga atu ano ahau ki reira. Na Ihowa i homai, na Ihowa i tango; kia whakapaingia te ingoa o Ihowa.
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
I tenei katoa kihai a Hopa i hara, kihai ano i whakauware ki ta te Atua.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
