Job 2
1 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Gbe bubu gbe la, dziƒodɔlawo va do ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye Satana hã va do kpli wo ɖe Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Yehowa bia Satana be, “Afi ka nètso va do?” Satana ɖo eŋu be, “Metso tsatsa ge le anyigba dzi eye menɔ yiyim, nɔ gbɔgbɔm le edzi.”
3 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
Tete Yehowa bia Satana be, “Èlé ŋku ɖe nye dɔla Hiob ŋua? Ame aɖeke mele anyigba dzi de enu o, enye ame maɖifɔ kple ame dzɔdzɔe, ame si vɔ̃a Yehowa eye wòtsri vɔ̃. Togbɔ be ède adã menye ɖe eŋu be magblẽ edome esi mewɔ naneke o hã la, egalé eƒe blibodede la me ɖe asi ko.”
4 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
Satana ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Ŋutilã ɖe ŋutilã teƒe, ekema ame atsɔ nu sia nu si le esi la katã ana ɖe eƒe agbe ta.
5 but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Do wò asi ɖa eye nàtu nu kple eƒe ŋutilã kple eƒe ƒuwo, ekema nàkpɔe ɖa be mado ɖiŋu na wò le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkume o mahã?”
6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Enyo ŋutɔ. Kpɔ ɖa, ele asiwò me, gake mègaka asi eƒe agbe ya ŋu o.”
7 And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Ale Satana dzo le Yehowa ŋkume hekplɔ abi vɔ̃ɖi aɖewo ƒu Hiob, tso eƒe afɔgɔme va se ɖe eƒe dzodome.
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes.
Tete Hiob tsɔ ze kakɛ nɔ ŋuti kum esi wònɔ anyi ɖe afi me.
9 And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.
Srɔ̃a va egbɔ biae be, “Ɖe nègalé wò blibodede la me ɖe asi koa? Do ɖiŋu na Mawu ne nàku!”
10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Èle nu ƒom abe nyɔnu bometsila ene. Ɖe míaxɔ nu nyuiwo ko tso Mawu gbɔ eye menye vɔ̃ hã oa?” Le nu siawo katã me la, Hiob mewɔ nu vɔ̃ le eƒe nuƒoƒo me o.
11 And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
Esi Hiob xɔlɔ̃ etɔ̃awo, Temanitɔ Elifaz, Suhitɔ, Bildad kple Naamatitɔ, Zofar se dzɔgbevɔ̃e siwo katã dzɔ ɖe Hiob dzi la wodze mɔ tso woƒe aƒewo me le ŋkeke si woɖo ɖi la dzi be woaɖafa nɛ eye woafa akɔ nɛ.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
Esi wokpɔe le adzɔge la, womete ŋu dze sii o, ale wowo avi gboo kple ɣli, wodze woƒe awu ʋlayawo eye wolɔ ke kɔ ɖe tame.
13 And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that [his] anguish was very great.
Ale wonɔ anyi ɖe egbɔ le anyigba ŋkeke adre kple zã adre sɔŋ. Ame aɖeke mebia nya aɖekee o elabena wokpɔ ale si wònɔ veve semii.
