< 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.
Ó sì tún di ọjọ́ kan nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run wá síwájú Olúwa, Satani sì wá pẹ̀lú wọn láti pe níwájú Olúwa.
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.'
Olúwa sì bi Satani pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti wá?” Satani sì dá Olúwa lóhùn pé, “Láti lọ síwá sẹ́yìn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé àti ní ìrìnkèrindò nínú rẹ̀.”
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!'
Olúwa sì wí fún Satani pé, “Ìwọ ha kíyèsi Jobu ìránṣẹ́ mi, pé, kò sí ẹni tí ó dàbí rẹ̀ ní ayé, ọkùnrin tí ń ṣe olóòtítọ́ tí ó sì dúró ṣinṣin, ẹni tí ó bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, tí ó sì kórìíra ìwà búburú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì di ìwà òtítọ́ rẹ̀ mu ṣinṣin, bí ìwọ tilẹ̀ ti dẹ mí sí i láti run ún láìnídìí.”
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.
Satani sì dá Olúwa lóhùn wí pé, “Awọ fún awọ; àní ohun gbogbo tí ènìyàn ní, òun ni yóò fi ra ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
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!'
Ṣùgbọ́n nawọ́ rẹ nísinsin yìí, kí ó tọ́ egungun rẹ̀ àti ara rẹ̀, bí kì yóò sì bọ́hùn ní ojú rẹ.”
6 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Lo, he [is] in thy hand; only his life take care of.'
Olúwa sì wí fún Satani pé, “Wò ó, ó ń bẹ ní ìkáwọ́ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n dá ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ sí.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Satani jáde lọ kúrò níwájú Olúwa, ó sì sọ Jobu ní oówo kíkankíkan láti àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ títí dé àtàrí rẹ̀.
8 And he taketh to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Ó sì mú àpáàdì, ó fi ń họ ara rẹ̀, ó sì jókòó nínú eérú. (questioned)
9 And his wife saith to him, 'Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless God and die.'
Nígbà náà ni aya rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ di ìwà òtítọ́ mú síbẹ̀! Bú Ọlọ́run, kí ó sì kú!”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó dá a lóhùn pé, “Ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ bí ọ̀kan lára àwọn aṣiwèrè obìnrin ti í sọ̀rọ̀; há bà! Àwa yóò ha gba ìre lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, kí a má sì gba ibi?” Nínú gbogbo èyí, Jobu kò fi ètè rẹ̀ ṣẹ̀.
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;
Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ Jobu mẹ́ta gbúròó gbogbo ibi tí ó bá a, wọ́n wá, olúkúlùkù láti ibùjókòó rẹ̀; Elifasi, ara Temani àti Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, àti Sofari, ará Naama: nítorí pé wọ́n ti dájọ́ ìpàdé pọ̀ láti bá a ṣọ̀fọ̀, àti láti ṣìpẹ̀ fún un.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbójú wọn wò ní òkèrè réré, tí wọ́n kò sì mọ̀ ọ́n, wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sọkún: olúkúlùkù sì fa aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ̀ ya, wọ́n sì ku erùpẹ̀ sí ojú ọ̀run, wọ́n sì tẹ́ orí gbà á.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n jókòó tì í ní inú erùpẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ méje ti ọ̀sán ti òru, ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì bá a sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan, nítorí tí wọ́n ti rí i pé ìbànújẹ́ rẹ̀ pọ̀ jọjọ.
