Job 2
1 And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.
Gbe bubu gbe la, dziƒodɔlawo va do ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye Satana hã va do kpli wo ɖe Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
2 And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence come you? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
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 the Lord said to the devil, Hast you then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas you has told [me] to destroy his substance 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 the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom 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 Nay, but put forth your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless you to [your] 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 the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to you; only save his life.
Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Enyo ŋutɔ. Kpɔ ɖa, ele asiwò me, gake mègaka asi eƒe agbe ya ŋu o.”
7 So the devil went out from the Lord, and struck Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
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 away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
Tete Hiob tsɔ ze kakɛ nɔ ŋuti kum esi wònɔ anyi ɖe afi me.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain 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 looked on her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
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 Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit 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 saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
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 beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and 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.
