Job 2
1 But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
Yon jou tout zanj Bondye yo te reyini devan Seyè a, Satan vini tou nan mitan yo.
2 So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
Seyè a mande l': -Kote ou soti? Satan reponn: -Mwen sot moute desann toupatou sou latè, mwen t'ap pwonmennen gade.
3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
Seyè a di Satan konsa: -Eske ou te wè Jòb, sèvitè m' lan? Pa gen tankou l' sou tout latè. Se yon nonm san repwòch ki mache dwat nan tou sa l'ap fè. Li gen krentif pou Bondye, li toujou ap chache fè sa ki byen. Se koulye a li kenbe m'. Ou wè se pou gremesi ou t'ap pouse m' pou m' te fini avè l'.
4 Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
Satan reponn li: -Lavi miyò pase byen! Yon moun va bay tou sa li genyen pou l' pa mouri.
5 Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
Men, si ou manyen kò pa l' menm, ou mèt sèten fwa sa a, l'ap di sa li pa t' dwe di sou ou nan figi ou.
6 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
Seyè a di Satan konsa: -Ou mèt fè sa ou vle avè l'. Men, pa touye l' pou mwen.
7 And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
Lamenm, Satan vire do l', li ale. Li fè gwo bouton pete sou tout kò Jòb, depi anba pla pye l' jouk nan po tèt li.
8 So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
Lè sa a, Jòb soti, li al chita nan pil sann kote yo boule fatra. Li pran yon moso krich kraze pou grate kò l'.
9 But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
Madanm li di l' konsa: -Ou nan kenbe pye Bondye fèm toujou? Joure l' byen joure, epi mouri mouri ou kont fini!
10 He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
Jòb di li: -Pe bouch ou la, madanm! W'ap pale tankou moun fou! Lè Bondye ban nou benediksyon, nou kontan. Atò poukisa pou nou plenyen lè li voye malè sou nou? Malgre tou sa ki te rive l', Jòb pa t' kite ankenn move pawòl soti nan bouch li pou li fè peche kont Bondye.
11 And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
Twa nan zanmi Jòb yo vin konnen tout malè ki te tonbe sou li. Yo kite peyi yo, yo vin wè Job. Se te Elifaz, moun Teman, Bildad, moun Chwak, epi Sofa, moun Naama. Yo fè lide vin ansanm pou plenn sò li epi pou ba li kouraj.
12 And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
Yo te yon bèl ti distans toujou lè yo wè Jòb. Yo pa t' rekonèt li. Lè yo rekonèt li, dlo vin nan je yo, yo konmanse rele, yo kriye. Yo chire rad sou yo, yo voye pousyè tè sou tèt yo tèlman sa te fè yo lapenn.
13 And they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
Apre sa, yo chita atè a bò kot Jòb pandan sèt jou sèt nwit san di yon mo, paske yo te wè jan l'ap soufri.
