Job 2
1 Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ mũthenya ũngĩ araika maathiire kũrũgama mbere ya Jehova, na Shaitani o nake agĩthiĩ hamwe nao kũrũgama mbere yake.
2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From where did thou come? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.
Nake Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Uuma kũ?” Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nyuma kũriũnga thĩ o na gũcangacanga kuo kũndũ na kũndũ.”
3 And Jehovah said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although thou moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Nĩũcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa ndungata yakwa Ayubu? Ũkoona atĩ kũu thĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhaana take; ndarĩ ũcuuke na nĩ mũrũngĩrĩru, mũndũ mwĩtigĩri-Ngai na ũtheemaga maũndũ marĩa mooru. Ningĩ no arũmĩtie wĩhokeku wake, o na gũtuĩka nĩwaningĩrĩirie ndĩmwanange hatarĩ gĩtũmi.”
4 And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkonde kĩrĩhagwo na gĩkonde! Mũndũ no arute indo ciake ciothe nĩguo ahonokie muoyo wake.
5 But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
No rĩrĩ, ta tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũhutie mahĩndĩ na nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake, na ti-itherũ ndarĩ hĩndĩ ategũkũruma o ũthiũ-inĩ waku.”
6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand, only spare his life.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Shaitani atĩrĩ, “No wega, rĩu arĩ moko-inĩ maku; no ndũkahutie muoyo wake.”
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shaitani akiuma hau mbere ya Jehova, akĩnyamaria Ayubu na ironda ciarĩ na ruo mũno kuuma makinya ma magũrũ make nginya mũtwe.
8 And he took a potsherd for him to scrape himself with it, and he sat among the ashes.
Nake Ayubu akĩoya gacere ka nyũngũ ethũage nako, agĩikara thĩ harĩa haitagwo mũhu.
9 Then his wife said to him, Do thou still hold fast thine integrity? Renounce God, and die.
Nake mũtumia wake akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anga no ũrũmĩtie wĩhokeku waku o na rĩu? Ruma Ngai wĩkuĩre!”
10 But he said to her, Thou speak as one of the foolish women speaks. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Nake Ayubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũraaria ta mũndũ-wa-nja mũkĩĩgu. Kaĩ turĩkĩamũkagĩra o maũndũ mega kuuma kũrĩ Ngai, na tũtiamũkĩre mathĩĩna?” Thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, Ayubu ndaigana kwĩhia thĩinĩ wa mĩario yake.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that came upon him, they came each one from his own place-Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite-and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arata atatũ a Ayubu, nĩo Elifazu ũrĩa Mũtemaani, na Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi, na Zofaru ũrĩa Mũnaamathi, maaiguire mathĩĩna marĩa mothe maakorete Ayubu-rĩ, makĩgĩa gĩathĩ, makiuma o mũndũ gwake na magĩcemania nĩguo mathiĩ makamũcakaithie o makĩmũhooreragia.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and did not recognize him, they lifted up their voice, and wept. And each one tore his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Rĩrĩa maamuonire marĩ o haraaya-rĩ, makĩrigwo nĩwe nĩ ũrĩa aahaanaga; makĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra maanĩrĩire, na magĩtembũranga nguo ciao, o na makĩĩhurĩria rũkũngũ mĩtwe.
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights. And none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
Ningĩ magĩcooka magĩikara thĩ hamwe nake matukũ mũgwanja, mũthenya na ũtukũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wamwaragĩria kiugo o na kĩmwe, nĩgũkorwo nĩmoonire atĩ kũnyamarĩka gwake kwarĩ kũnene mũno.
