Job 2
1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Or, il arriva un jour que les fils de Dieu étant venus se présenter devant l'Éternel, Satan vint aussi au milieu d'eux, se présenter devant l'Éternel,
2 Jehovah said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: D'où viens-tu? Et Satan répondit à l'Éternel, et dit: De courir çà et là sur la terre et de m'y promener.
3 Jehovah said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n'y en a pas comme lui sur la terre, intègre, droit, craignant Dieu, et se détournant du mal. Il tient encore ferme dans son intégrité, et tu m'as excité à le ruiner sans motif.
4 Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Et Satan répondit à l'Éternel et dit: Peau pour peau! Tout ce que l'homme possède, il le donne pour sa vie.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
Mais étends ta main, et touche à ses os et à sa chair; et tu verras s'il ne te renie pas en face!
6 Jehovah said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: Voici, il est en ta main; seulement respecte sa vie.
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
Et Satan sortit de devant la face de l'Éternel; et il frappa Job d'un ulcère malin, depuis la plante des pieds jusqu'au sommet de la tête.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
Et Job prit un tesson pour se gratter, et il était assis dans la cendre.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
Et sa femme lui dit: Tu tiens ferme encore dans ton intégrité! Renie Dieu, et meurs!
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Et il lui dit: Tu parles comme une femme insensée! Nous recevons le bien de la part de Dieu, et nous ne recevrions pas le mal! En tout cela, Job ne pécha point par ses lèvres.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
Et trois amis de Job, Éliphaz, de Théman, Bildad, de Shuach, Tsophar, de Naama, ayant appris tous les maux qui lui étaient arrivés, partirent chacun de leur pays, et convinrent ensemble d'un jour pour venir lui faire leurs condoléances et le consoler.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
Et, ayant de loin levé les yeux, ils ne le reconnurent pas; alors ils élevèrent la voix et ils pleurèrent; et ils déchirèrent leur manteau, et ils jetèrent de la poussière vers le ciel, au-dessus de leur tête.
13 So 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 pain was very great.
Puis ils restèrent assis à terre avec lui, sept jours et sept nuits, et aucun d'eux ne lui dit une parole, car ils voyaient que sa douleur était fort grande.
