Job 2
1 And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh—so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.
Pea naʻe toe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
2 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani, mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
3 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi? Pea ʻoku ne kei kuku maʻu pe ʻene angatonu, ka naʻa ke ueʻi au ki ai, ke fakaʻauha ia taʻehanoʻuhinga.”
4 Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kili maʻa e kili, ʻio, ʻe foaki ʻe he tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ke ne moʻui ai.
5 In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo ala ki hono hui mo hono kakano, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
6 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, —only, his life, preserve thou!
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ia; ka ko ʻene moʻui pe ʻe tapu.”
7 So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.
Pea ʻalu ai ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻa Siope ʻae ngaahi hangatāmaki mamahi, ʻo fai mei hono ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki hono tumuʻaki.
8 And he took him a potsherd, to scrape himself therewith; he being seated in the midst of ashes.
Pea ne toʻo ʻe ia ʻae konga ipu maumau ʻo teletele ʻaki ia; pea tangutu ia ʻi he efuefu.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine integrity? Curse God, and die!
Pea pehē ai ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke kei kuku hoʻo angatonu? Lea kovi ki he ʻOtua, ka ke mate.”
10 And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ko hoʻo lea ʻoku hangē ko e lea ʻa ha taha ʻi he kau fefine vale. ʻIo! he te tau maʻu koā ʻae lelei mei he nima ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻikai te tau maʻu mo e kovi?” ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope ʻi hono loungutu.
11 Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, —they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, —for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort him.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kāinga ʻe toko tolu ʻo Siope ki he kovi ni kotoa pē kuo tō kiate ia, naʻa nau haʻu mei honau potu taki taha; ko Elifasi mei Timani, mo Pilitati mei Suaa, mo Sofaa mei Neama: he kuo nau tālanga ke nau fakataha ke nau mamahi mo ia mo nau fakafiemālieʻi ia.
12 And, when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept—and rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hanga hake kiate ia mei he mamaʻo, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ia, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea naʻa nau taki taha haehae hono pulupulu, mo lī ʻae efu ki ʻolunga ki honau ʻulu.
13 And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, —and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
Pea naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kelekele ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu mo e pō ʻe fitu, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ha taha ki ai: he naʻa nau vakai kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mamahi.
