Job 2
1 And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ mũthenya ũngĩ araika maathiire kũrũgama mbere ya Jehova, na Shaitani o nake agĩthiĩ hamwe nao kũrũgama mbere yake.
2 That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through 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 the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict 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, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath 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, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless 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 the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save 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 the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:
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 and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
Nake Ayubu akĩoya gacere ka nyũngũ ethũage nako, agĩikara thĩ harĩa haitagwo mũhu.
9 And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.
Nake mũtumia wake akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anga no ũrũmĩtie wĩhokeku waku o na rĩu? Ruma Ngai wĩkuĩre!”
10 And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things 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 all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and 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 had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards 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 And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: 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.
