Job 2
1 And on a day the children of God came and stood before the Lord, and Satan came also among them, and stoode before the Lord.
Mokolo moko lisusu, ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bayaki komilakisa liboso ya Yawe. Satana mpe ayaki elongo na bango.
2 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and sayd, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
Yawe atunaki Satana: — Owuti wapi? Satana azongiselaki Yawe: — Nawuti kotambola mpe koyengayenga na mokili.
3 And the Lord sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? for yet he continueth in his vprightnesse, although thou mouedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Yawe alobaki na Satana: — Boni, omoni Yobo, mosali na Ngai? Ezali na moto moko te oyo azali lokola ye, kati na mokili: azali moyengebene mpe moto ya sembo, atosaka Nzambe mpe akimaka mabe. Azali kaka kotingama na bosembo na ye, atako otindikaki Ngai na pamba ete nasala ye mabe.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue for his life.
Satana azongiselaki Yawe: — Poso mpo na poso: moto akoki kopesa biloko na ye nyonso mpo kaka abikisa bomoi na ye.
5 But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
Kasi sik’oyo, sembola kaka loboko na Yo, beta nzoto mpe mikuwa na ye; okomona penza soki akolakela Yo mabe te na miso na Yo.
6 Then the Lord said vnto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but saue his life.
Yawe alobaki na Satana: — Malamu! Azali kati na maboko na yo, kasi kosimba bomoi na ye te!
7 So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore boyles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.
Boye, Satana alongwaki liboso ya Yawe mpe abwakelaki Yobo bokono ya mabe na poso ya nzoto, longwa na se ya matambe na ye kino na songe ya moto.
8 And he tooke a potsharde to scrape him, and he sate downe among the ashes.
Yobo akamataki eteni ya mbeki mpo na komikwanza na yango nzoto, mpe amivandisaki na putulu.
9 Then said his wife vnto him, Doest thou continue yet in thine vprightnes? Blaspheme God, and dye.
Mwasi na ye alobaki na ye: — Boni, ozali kaka kokoba na bosembo na yo? Lakela Nzambe mabe mpe kufa na yo!
10 But he said vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: what? shall we receiue good at the hande of God, and not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.
Yobo azongiselaki ye: — Ah! Ozali koloba lokola moto ya liboma! Boni, tondimaka kaka makambo ya malamu, epai ya Nzambe, kasi tondimaka makambo mabe te?
11 Nowe when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place, to wit, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they were agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort him.
Tango baninga misato ya Yobo —Elifazi, moto ya Temani; Bilidadi, moto ya Shuwa; mpe Tsofari, moto ya Naama— bayokaki sango ya pasi nyonso oyo ekomelaki Yobo, batikaki bandako na bango mpe bayokanaki mpo na kokende kokabola pasi elongo na ye mpe kobondisa ye.
12 So when they lift vp their eyes a farre off, they knewe him not: therefore they lift vp their voyces and wept, and euery one of them rent his garment, and sprinkled dust vpon their heads toward the heauen.
Wuta na mosika, tango kaka bamonaki ye, bakokaki te koyeba ye lisusu; boye, babandaki wana kolela makasi, bapasolaki banzambala na bango mpe bamibwakelaki putulu na mito.
13 So they sate by him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a worde vnto him: for they sawe, that the griefe was very great.
Bamivandisaki na mabele elongo na Yobo mikolo sambo mpe butu sambo. Moko te akokaki koloba na ye ata liloba moko, pamba te bamonaki ndenge nini pasi na ye ezalaki makasi.
