Jó 2

1 Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh. 2 Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"

Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."

3 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

4 Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."

6 Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life."

7 So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head. 8 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes. 9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die."

10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?"

In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips. 11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him. 12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky. 13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

Ka Whakamātautauria anō e Hātana a Hopa

1 He rā anō ka haere mai ngā tama a te Atua, kia tū i te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, ka haere mai hoki a Hātana i roto i a rātou ki te aroaro o Ihowā tū ai. 2 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Hātana, "I haere mai koe i hea?"

Anō rā ko Hātana ki a Ihowā, "I te kōpikopiko, i te hāereere i te whenua."

3 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Hātana, "Kua mahara rānei tōu ngākau ki tāku tangata, ki a Hopa? Kāhore he rite mōna i te whenua, he tangata ngākau tapatahi, he tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e mawehe ana i te kino; ū tonu anō hoki tōna tapatahitanga, ahakoa e whakaoho ana koe i ahau ki te hē mōna, kia whakangaromia noatia ia."

4 Nā, ka utua e Hātana tā Ihowā, ka mea ia, "He kiri mō te kiri; āe rā, ko ngā mea katoa hoki a te tangata ka hoatu hei utu mōna kia ora. 5 Engari kia totoro atu tōu ringa, kia pā ki tōna wheua, ki ōna kikokiko, inā, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tōu aroaro."

6 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Hātana, "Nanā, kei tōu ringa ia; otiia kia tūpato kei mate rawa ia."

7 Heoi, ka haere atu a Hātana i te aroaro o Ihowā; patua iho e ia a Hopa ki te whēwhē kino i te kapu o tōna waewae, ā tae noa ki tōna tumuaki. 8 Nā, ka mau ia ki tētahi maramara rīhi hei waru i a ia, ā, noho ana i roto i te pungarehu.

9 Kātahi tāna wahine ka mea ki a ia, "Ka ū tonu koia koe ki tōu tapatahitanga? Kangā te Atua, ka mate ai."

10 Anō rā ko ia ki a ia, "Rite tonu tō kupu ki te kupu a tētahi o ngā wāhine kūware. Ha! Kia whiwhi tātou ki te pai i te Atua, ā, kia kaua e whiwhi ki te kino?"

I tēnei katoa kīhai i hara ngā ngutu o Hopa.

Ka Haere mai ngā Hoa o Hopa

11 Nā, i te rongonga o ngā hoa tokotoru o Hopa ki tēnei aituā katoa i pā nei ki a ia, ka haere mai rātou i tōna wāhi, i tōna wāhi, a Eripāta Temani, a Pirirara Huhi, a Topara Naamati. He mea whakarite hoki nā rātou ki a rātou anō kia haere mai ki te tangi ki a ia, ki te whakamārie i a ia. 12 Nā, i te marangatanga o ō rātou kanohi i tawhiti, ā, kīhai rātou i mōhio ki a ia, nā, kua ara tō rātou reo, tangi ana; haea ana tōna koroka, tōna koroka, ruia iho e rātou he puehu ki runga ki ō rātou māhunga, he mea ākiri atu whaka te rangi. 13 Heoi, noho ana rātou i tōna taha ki te whenua, e whitu ngā rā, e whitu ngā pō, kīhai hoki i puaki he kupu a tētahi ki a ia; i kite hoki rātou he nui rawa tōna pōuri.
