< Yoube 2 >

1 Eso eno amoga, Hebene ganodini esalebe a: silibu da Hina Gode midadi bu doaga: loba, Sa: ida: ne da ili gilisili manebe ba: i.
On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
2 Hina Gode da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da adi hamonanula: ?” Sa: ida: ne da bu adole i, “Na da goeguda: amola goega amola osobo bagade huluane sisiga: sa lalu.”
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
3 Hina Gode da amane adole ba: i, “Di da Na hawa: hamosu dunu Yoube amo dia ba: bela: ? Dunu osobo bagade ganodini fi noga: le fa: no bobogesu dunu e agoai da hame. E da Nama fawane sia: ne gadosa, amola e da wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, dawa: iwane Nama fa: no bobogelala.”
Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
4 Sa: ida: ne da bu adole i, “Dunu da ea esalebe gaga: ma: ne, ea liligi huluane mae dawa: iwane yolesimu.
Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
5 Be Di da wali ea da: i hodo se nabaloma: ne fasea, e da Dia odagia gagabusu aligima: mu!”
But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
6 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Sa: ida: nema amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da e dia lobo da: iya ligisimu. Be e mae bogoma: ma!”
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
7 Amalalu Sa: ida: ne da Hina Gode Ea midadi lelu amo yolesili, asili, Yoube ea da: iba: le huluane aiya madelama: ne hamoi.
So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
8 Yoube da asili, isu salasu bega: fili, osoboga hamoi ofodo goudai amo lale, ea aiya amo gilalu.
Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
9 Yoube idua da ema amane sia: i “Di da mae yolele, gebewane Godema dafawaneyale dawa: lala! Di da abuliba: le Godema gagabusu aligima: ne hame sia: sa! Di amane sia: ne bogomu da defea!
His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”
10 Yoube da bu dabe adole i, “Di da udigili mae dawa: le adosa! Gode da anigini liligi noga: idafa iabeba: le, ania da olofole hahawane lai. E da anima se nabasu nabima: ne iasea, abuliba: le ania da Godema egane sia: ma: bela: ?” Amo se nabasu da Youbema doaga: beba: le, Yoube da Godema egane hamedafa sia: su.
But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
11 Yoube ea sama udiana ilia dio da Ilaifa: se, (e da Dima: ne moilai bai bagadega esalu), Bilida: de (e da Sua sogeganini misi), amola Soufa (e da Na: ima sogeganini misi.) Ilia da Yoube ea se nabasu hou amo nababeba: le, ea dogo denesima: ne oufila masunusa: ilegele sia: sa: i.
Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
12 Ilia da badiliadafa ganini mana, ba: leguda: loba, Yoube esalebe amo ba: i, be ilia da Yoube eyale hame dawa: i galu. Ilia da dafawane amo da Yoube ilia da dawa: digibiba: le, ilia da bai muni eha asigili didigia: sa, ilila: abula gagadelale sali, amola bagade dadawa: ahoabeba: le gulu gasa: le hame fufua gala gagadoi, amola ilia: dialuma da: iya gasa: le lelegei.
When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
13 Amaiba: le, ilia da mae sia: baouni, eso fesuale amola gasi fesuale agoane Yoube ili gilisili osobo da: iya esafulu, bai Yoube ea se nabasu da bagadedafa amo ba: beba: le agoane hamosu.
Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
