Job 2
1 Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh.
Da foforo bi, abɔfo no baa Awurade anim bio na Satan nso kaa wɔn ho bae.
2 Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Wufi he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade se, “Mifi asase so akyinkyinakyinkyin ne emu akɔneabadi mu.”
3 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
Na Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Woadwene mʼakoa Hiob ho ana? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔteɛ. Ɔyɛ onipa a osuro Onyankopɔn na okyi bɔne. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wohyɛɛ me sɛ mensɛe no a minni nnyinaso biara de, nanso ɔda so gyina ne pɛpɛyɛ no mu.”
4 Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Were pere were. Onipa de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛma de apere ne nkwa.
5 But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
Sɛ ebetumi a teɛ wo nsa fa ka ne honam ne ne nnompe, na ɔbɛdome wo wɔ wʼanim!”
6 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Eye, ɔwɔ wo nsam na ne nkwa de gyaa mu ma no.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
Enti Satan fii Awurade anim, na ɔmaa akuru a ɛyɛ yaw totɔɔ Hiob ho fi ne nʼanan ase kosii nʼapampam.
8 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
Afei, na kyɛmfɛre na Hiob de twiw ne ho, bere a ɔte nsõ mu.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
Ne yere bisaa no se, “Woda so kura wo pɛpɛyɛ no mu ara? Dome Onyankopɔn, na wu!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.
Na Hiob buaa no sɛ, “Wokasa sɛ ɔbea a ɔyɛ ɔkwasea. Ade pa de yɛagye afi Onyankopɔn nsam na ade bɔne na yɛmpo ana?” Eyi nyinaa mu no, Hiob anka asɛm bɔne.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
Bere a Hiob nnamfo baasa bi a wɔne Temanni Elifas, Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar tee amanehunu a aba Hiob so no, wofii wɔn afi mu, hyia yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔhwɛ no na wɔakyekye ne werɛ.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
Wohuu Hiob fii akyiri no, wɔanhu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno; wɔhyɛɛ ase twaa agyaadwo, sunsuan wɔn ntade mu, tuu mfutuma guu wɔn ti so.
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
Na wɔne no tenaa fam nnanson, awia ne anadwo. Na obiara ankasa, efisɛ wohuu sɛ nʼamanehunu no nyɛ adewa.
