Job 2
1 On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
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 Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
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 Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
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 Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
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 if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
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 Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: Voici, il est en ta main; seulement respecte sa vie.
7 So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
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 Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
Et Job prit un tesson pour se gratter, et il était assis dans la cendre.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”
Et sa femme lui dit: Tu tiens ferme encore dans ton intégrité! Renie Dieu, et meurs!
10 But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
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 Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
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 saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
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 Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
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.
