< 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.
Mokolo moko lisusu, ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bayaki komilakisa liboso ya Yawe. Satana mpe ayaki elongo na bango.
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.
Yawe atunaki Satana: — Owuti wapi? Satana azongiselaki Yawe: — Nawuti kotambola mpe koyengayenga na mokili.
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.
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 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 azongiselaki Yawe: — Poso mpo na poso: moto akoki kopesa biloko na ye nyonso mpo kaka abikisa bomoi na ye.
5 But stretch out please hand your and touch bone his and flesh his if not to face your he will bless you.
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 And he said Yahweh to the adversary there he [is] in hand your surely life his preserve.
Yawe alobaki na Satana: — Malamu! Azali kati na maboko na yo, kasi kosimba bomoi na ye te!
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.
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 took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it and he [was] sitting in [the] midst the ash[es].
Yobo akamataki eteni ya mbeki mpo na komikwanza na yango nzoto, mpe amivandisaki na putulu.
9 And she said to him wife his [are] still? you keeping hold on integrity your bless God and die.
Mwasi na ye alobaki na ye: — Boni, ozali kaka kokoba na bosembo na yo? Lakela Nzambe mabe mpe kufa na yo!
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
