Job 2
1 And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them to present himself on Yahweh.
Tsiku linanso pamene ana a Mulungu anabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anabwera nawo limodzi kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova.
2 And he said Yahweh to the adversary where? from this are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.”
3 And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your to servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil and still he [is] keeping hold on integrity his and you incited me against him to ruin him without cause.
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa. Ndipo iye akanalibe wangwiro, ngakhale iwe unandiwumiriza kuti ndikulole kuti umuvutitse popanda chifukwa.”
4 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said skin for skin and all that [belongs] to the man he will give for life his.
Satana anayankha kuti, “Iye ayesedwe mʼthupi mwake. Munthu angathe kupereka zonse ali nazo malingana iyeyo ali ndi moyo.
5 But stretch out please hand your and touch bone his and flesh his if not to face your he will bless you.
Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kuwononga thupi lake, ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.”
6 And he said Yahweh to the adversary there he [is] in hand your surely life his preserve.
Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, iye ali mʼmanja mwako; koma moyo wake usawuchotse.”
7 And he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh and he struck Job with boil[s] bad from [the] sole of foot his (and to *Q(K)*) scalp his.
Choncho Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova napita kukazunza Yobu ndi zilonda zaululu pa thupi lake lonse.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it and he [was] sitting in [the] midst the ash[es].
Pamenepo Yobu anatenga phale ndi kumadzikanda nalo atakhala pa dzala la phulusa.
9 And she said to him wife his [are] still? you keeping hold on integrity your bless God and die.
Mkazi wake anati kwa iye, “Kodi ukuwumirirabe kukhala wangwiro? Tukwana Mulungu kuti ufe!”
10 And he said to her as speaks one of the foolish women you are speaking also the good will we accept? from with God and the evil not will we accept? in all this not he sinned Job with lips his.
Yobu anayankha kuti, “Ukuyankhula ngati mkazi wopusa. Kodi tidzalandira zokoma zokhazokha kwa Mulungu, osalandiranso zowawa?” Mu zonsezi, Yobu sanachimwe pa zimene anayankhula.
11 And they heard [the] three - [the] friends of Job all the evil this that it had come on him and they came each one from own place his Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite and they met by appointment together to come to show sympathy to him and to comfort him.
Abwenzi atatu a Yobu, Elifazi wa ku Temani, Bilidadi wa ku Suki ndi Zofari wa ku Naama, atamva za tsoka lonse limene linamugwera iye, ananyamuka ku nyumba zawo nakumana malo amodzi mopangana kuti apite ndi kukamupepesa Yobu ndi kumutonthoza.
12 And they lifted up eyes their from a distance and not they recognized him and they lifted up voice their and they wept and they tore each one robe his and they sprinkled dust on heads their the heavens towards.
Atamuona Yobuyo, iwo ali chapatalipo, sanathe kumuzindikira. Choncho anayamba kulira mokweza mawu ndipo anangʼamba mikanjo yawo ndi kuwaza fumbi pa mitu yawo.
13 And they sat with him to the ground seven days and seven nights and not [anyone was] speaking to him a word for they saw that it was great the pain exceedingly.
Tsono anakhala naye pamodzi pansi kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri, usana ndi usiku omwe. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anayankhula naye, chifukwa anazindikira kuti Yobu amavutika kwambiri.
