Job 2
1 And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst to station himself by Jehovah.
Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ mũthenya ũngĩ araika maathiire kũrũgama mbere ya Jehova, na Shaitani o nake agĩthiĩ hamwe nao kũrũgama mbere yake.
2 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Whence camest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.'
Nake Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Uuma kũ?” Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nyuma kũriũnga thĩ o na gũcangacanga kuo kũndũ na kũndũ.”
3 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!'
Ningĩ Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Nĩũcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa ndungata yakwa Ayubu? Ũkoona atĩ kũu thĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhaana take; ndarĩ ũcuuke na nĩ mũrũngĩrĩru, mũndũ mwĩtigĩri-Ngai na ũtheemaga maũndũ marĩa mooru. Ningĩ no arũmĩtie wĩhokeku wake, o na gũtuĩka nĩwaningĩrĩirie ndĩmwanange hatarĩ gĩtũmi.”
4 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life.
Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkonde kĩrĩhagwo na gĩkonde! Mũndũ no arute indo ciake ciothe nĩguo ahonokie muoyo wake.
5 Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his bone and unto his flesh — if not: unto Thy face he doth bless Thee!'
No rĩrĩ, ta tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũhutie mahĩndĩ na nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake, na ti-itherũ ndarĩ hĩndĩ ategũkũruma o ũthiũ-inĩ waku.”
6 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Lo, he [is] in thy hand; only his life take care of.'
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Shaitani atĩrĩ, “No wega, rĩu arĩ moko-inĩ maku; no ndũkahutie muoyo wake.”
7 And the Adversary goeth forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smiteth Job with a sore ulcer from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shaitani akiuma hau mbere ya Jehova, akĩnyamaria Ayubu na ironda ciarĩ na ruo mũno kuuma makinya ma magũrũ make nginya mũtwe.
8 And he taketh to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Nake Ayubu akĩoya gacere ka nyũngũ ethũage nako, agĩikara thĩ harĩa haitagwo mũhu.
9 And his wife saith to him, 'Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless God and die.'
Nake mũtumia wake akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anga no ũrũmĩtie wĩhokeku waku o na rĩu? Ruma Ngai wĩkuĩre!”
10 And he saith unto her, 'As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.
Nake Ayubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũraaria ta mũndũ-wa-nja mũkĩĩgu. Kaĩ turĩkĩamũkagĩra o maũndũ mega kuuma kũrĩ Ngai, na tũtiamũkĩre mathĩĩna?” Thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, Ayubu ndaigana kwĩhia thĩinĩ wa mĩario yake.
11 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that hath come upon him, and they come in each from his place — Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite — and they are met together to come in to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arata atatũ a Ayubu, nĩo Elifazu ũrĩa Mũtemaani, na Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi, na Zofaru ũrĩa Mũnaamathi, maaiguire mathĩĩna marĩa mothe maakorete Ayubu-rĩ, makĩgĩa gĩathĩ, makiuma o mũndũ gwake na magĩcemania nĩguo mathiĩ makamũcakaithie o makĩmũhooreragia.
12 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and rend each his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads — heavenward.
Rĩrĩa maamuonire marĩ o haraaya-rĩ, makĩrigwo nĩwe nĩ ũrĩa aahaanaga; makĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra maanĩrĩire, na magĩtembũranga nguo ciao, o na makĩĩhurĩria rũkũngũ mĩtwe.
13 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking unto him a word when they have seen that the pain hath been very great.
Ningĩ magĩcooka magĩikara thĩ hamwe nake matukũ mũgwanja, mũthenya na ũtukũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wamwaragĩria kiugo o na kĩmwe, nĩgũkorwo nĩmoonire atĩ kũnyamarĩka gwake kwarĩ kũnene mũno.
