Job 2
1 On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
Pea naʻe toe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
2 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani, mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi? Pea ʻoku ne kei kuku maʻu pe ʻene angatonu, ka naʻa ke ueʻi au ki ai, ke fakaʻauha ia taʻehanoʻuhinga.”
4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kili maʻa e kili, ʻio, ʻe foaki ʻe he tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ke ne moʻui ai.
5 But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo ala ki hono hui mo hono kakano, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
6 “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ia; ka ko ʻene moʻui pe ʻe tapu.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
Pea ʻalu ai ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻa Siope ʻae ngaahi hangatāmaki mamahi, ʻo fai mei hono ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki hono tumuʻaki.
8 And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
Pea ne toʻo ʻe ia ʻae konga ipu maumau ʻo teletele ʻaki ia; pea tangutu ia ʻi he efuefu.
9 Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”
Pea pehē ai ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke kei kuku hoʻo angatonu? Lea kovi ki he ʻOtua, ka ke mate.”
10 “You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ko hoʻo lea ʻoku hangē ko e lea ʻa ha taha ʻi he kau fefine vale. ʻIo! he te tau maʻu koā ʻae lelei mei he nima ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻikai te tau maʻu mo e kovi?” ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope ʻi hono loungutu.
11 Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kāinga ʻe toko tolu ʻo Siope ki he kovi ni kotoa pē kuo tō kiate ia, naʻa nau haʻu mei honau potu taki taha; ko Elifasi mei Timani, mo Pilitati mei Suaa, mo Sofaa mei Neama: he kuo nau tālanga ke nau fakataha ke nau mamahi mo ia mo nau fakafiemālieʻi ia.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hanga hake kiate ia mei he mamaʻo, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ia, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea naʻa nau taki taha haehae hono pulupulu, mo lī ʻae efu ki ʻolunga ki honau ʻulu.
13 Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
Pea naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kelekele ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu mo e pō ʻe fitu, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ha taha ki ai: he naʻa nau vakai kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mamahi.
