< Job 2 >

1 On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
A I kekahi la hoi i hele na keiki a ke Akua e hoike ia lakou iho imua o Iehova, o Satana hoi kekahi i hele mai iwaena o lakou e hoike ia ia iho imua o Iehova.
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.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Nohea oe i hele mai nei? Olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, i aku la, Mai ka auwana ana ma ka honua, a mai ka hele ana io ia nei malaila.
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.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka'u kauwa ia Ioba, aohe ona like ma ka honua, he kanaka pono a me ka pololei, ua makau i ke Akua, a ua hookaaokoa i ka hewa? A i keia wa ke hoopaa iho nei ma kona pono, aka, ua koi mai oe ia'u e ku e ia ia, e pepehi hala ole ia ia.
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.
A olelo aku ia o Satana ia Iehova, i aka ia, He ili no ka ili, o ka mea a pau a ke kanaka, oia kana e haawi aku ai no kona ola.
5 But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
Aka, e kikoo aku oe i kou lima ano, a e hoopa aku i kona iwi a me kona io, a e hoino no oia ia oe imua o kou maka.
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.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia no ia iloko o kou lima; e malama no nae oe i kona ola.
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.
A hele aku la o Satana mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a hahau aku la oia ia Ioba i na mai hehee ehaeha, mai ka poho o kona wawae a kona piko poo.
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].
A lawe aku la ia i ka apana ipu lepo, a wauwau ia ia iho me ia; a noho iho la ia iloko o ka Iehuahi.
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.”
Alaila olelo mai la kana wahine ia ia, Ke hoopaa nei anei oe ano ma kou pono? E hoino aku i ke Akua a make iho.
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.
Aka, i aku la oia ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei oe e like me ka olelo a kekahi o na wahine naaupo. Eia, e loaa anei ia kakou ka maikai mai ke Akua mai, aole anei e loaa ia kakou ka ino kekahi? Ma keia mea a pao, aole o Ioba i hewa me kona mau lehelehe.
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].
A Iohe na makamaka ekolu o Ioba i keia ino i hiki mai maluna ona, hele mai kela mea keia mea mai kona wahi mai; o Elipaza no Temana, a o Biledada no Suha, a o Zopara no Naama: no ka mea, ua kuka pu lakou e halawai e uwe pu me ia a e hooluolu ia ia.
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].
A nana ao la ko lakou mau maka iluna mai kahi mamao aku, aole hikou i ike ia ia, a hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo iluna, a auwe iho la; a haehae lakou o kela mea keia mea i kona aahu, a lulu i ka lepo maluna o ko lakou poo ma ka lani.
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].
A noho pu iho lakou me ia ma ka lepo i na la ehiku a me na po ehiko, aole hoi i olelo iki aku kekahi o lakou ia ia: no ka mea, ike no lakou, ua nui loa kona ehaeha.
