Jòb 2
1 Ankò, yon jou te rive lè fis a Bondye yo te vin prezante yo devan SENYÈ a, e Satan osi te vin prezante li menm devan SENYÈ a.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Kibò ou sòti?” Satan te reponn SENYÈ a epi te di: “Soti pwomennen sou latè, e te mache toupatou sou li.”
And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Èske ou te remake sèvitè Mwen an, Job? Paske nanpwen okenn moun tankou li sou latè, yon nonm san repwòch e dwat ki gen lakrent Bondye, e ki vire kite tout mal. Epi li toujou kenbe rèd ak entegrite li, malgre ou te eksite Mwen kont li san koz.”
And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Satan te reponn SENYÈ a. Li te di: “Chè pou chè! Wi, tout sa yon nonm genyen, li va bay pou lavi li.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man has will he give for his life.
5 Malgre sa, lonje men Ou koulye a e touche zo li avèk chè li. Li va modi Ou devan figi Ou.”
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.
6 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Gade byen, li nan pouvwa ou. Sèlman konsève lavi li.”
And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but save his life.
7 Konsa, Satan te sòti nan prezans SENYÈ a e te frape Job avèk abse ak maleng soti anba pye li jis rive sou kwòn tèt li.
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 Job te pran yon mòso cha kanari pou grate kò l pandan li te chita nan mitan sann yo.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Epi madanm li te di l: “Èske ou toujou kenbe rèd a entegrite ou a? Modi Bondye e mouri!”
Then said his wife to him, Do you still retain your integrity? curse God, and die.
10 Men li te di li: “Ou pale kon youn nan fanm san konprann. Èske anverite nou va aksepte sa ki bon nan men Bondye, e pa aksepte sa ki mal?” Nan tout sa, Job pa t peche avèk bouch li.
But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 Alò, lè twa zanmi a Job yo te tande tout malè ki te rive li yo, yo te vini yo chak sòti nan pwòp plas yo, Éliphaz, Temanit lan, Bildad, Souachyen an ak Tsophar, Naamatit la. Yo te òganize yon randevou ansanm pou vini fè konsolasyon avèk li, e bay li rekonfò.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come on him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12 Lè yo te leve zye yo a distans, yo pa t rekonèt li; yo te leve vwa yo anlè e te kriye. Yo chak te chire rad yo, e yo te jete pousyè sou tèt yo vè syèl la.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven.
13 Konsa, yo te chita atè avèk li pandan sèt jou ak sèt nwit san pèsòn pa t pale yon mo ak li, paske yo te wè ke doulè li te tèlman gran.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
