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.
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.
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 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.'
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 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!'
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 the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth 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.”
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!'
6 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “Gade byen, li nan pouvwa ou. Sèlman konsève lavi li.”
And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Lo, he [is] in thy hand; only his life take care of.'
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.
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.
8 Job te pran yon mòso cha kanari pou grate kò l pandan li te chita nan mitan sann yo.
And he taketh to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
9 Epi madanm li te di l: “Èske ou toujou kenbe rèd a entegrite ou a? Modi Bondye e mouri!”
And his wife saith to him, 'Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless 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.
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.
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.
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;
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 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.
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.
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.
