Ayubu 2
1 Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ mũthenya ũngĩ araika maathiire kũrũgama mbere ya Jehova, na Shaitani o nake agĩthiĩ hamwe nao kũrũgama mbere yake.
Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 Nake Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Uuma kũ?” Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nyuma kũriũnga thĩ o na gũcangacanga kuo kũndũ na kũndũ.”
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
3 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.”
The LORD 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.”
4 Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkonde kĩrĩhagwo na gĩkonde! Mũndũ no arute indo ciake ciothe nĩguo ahonokie muoyo wake.
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 No rĩrĩ, ta tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũhutie mahĩndĩ na nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake, na ti-itherũ ndarĩ hĩndĩ ategũkũruma o ũthiũ-inĩ waku.”
But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Shaitani atĩrĩ, “No wega, rĩu arĩ moko-inĩ maku; no ndũkahutie muoyo wake.”
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shaitani akiuma hau mbere ya Jehova, akĩnyamaria Ayubu na ironda ciarĩ na ruo mũno kuuma makinya ma magũrũ make nginya mũtwe.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8 Nake Ayubu akĩoya gacere ka nyũngũ ethũage nako, agĩikara thĩ harĩa haitagwo mũhu.
He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9 Nake mũtumia wake akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anga no ũrũmĩtie wĩhokeku waku o na rĩu? Ruma Ngai wĩkuĩre!”
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
10 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.
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 did not sin with his lips.
11 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.
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.
12 Rĩrĩa maamuonire marĩ o haraaya-rĩ, makĩrigwo nĩwe nĩ ũrĩa aahaanaga; makĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra maanĩrĩire, na magĩtembũranga nguo ciao, o na makĩĩhurĩria rũkũngũ mĩtwe.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
13 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.
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.
