< Ioba 2 >

1 A I kekahi la hoi i hele na keiki a ke Akua e hoike ia lakou iho imua o Iehova, o Satana hoi kekahi i hele mai iwaena o lakou e hoike ia ia iho imua o Iehova.
But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
2 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Nohea oe i hele mai nei? Olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, i aku la, Mai ka auwana ana ma ka honua, a mai ka hele ana io ia nei malaila.
So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
3 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka'u kauwa ia Ioba, aohe ona like ma ka honua, he kanaka pono a me ka pololei, ua makau i ke Akua, a ua hookaaokoa i ka hewa? A i keia wa ke hoopaa iho nei ma kona pono, aka, ua koi mai oe ia'u e ku e ia ia, e pepehi hala ole ia ia.
And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
4 A olelo aku ia o Satana ia Iehova, i aka ia, He ili no ka ili, o ka mea a pau a ke kanaka, oia kana e haawi aku ai no kona ola.
Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 Aka, e kikoo aku oe i kou lima ano, a e hoopa aku i kona iwi a me kona io, a e hoino no oia ia oe imua o kou maka.
Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
6 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia no ia iloko o kou lima; e malama no nae oe i kona ola.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
7 A hele aku la o Satana mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a hahau aku la oia ia Ioba i na mai hehee ehaeha, mai ka poho o kona wawae a kona piko poo.
And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
8 A lawe aku la ia i ka apana ipu lepo, a wauwau ia ia iho me ia; a noho iho la ia iloko o ka Iehuahi.
So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
9 Alaila olelo mai la kana wahine ia ia, Ke hoopaa nei anei oe ano ma kou pono? E hoino aku i ke Akua a make iho.
But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
10 Aka, i aku la oia ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei oe e like me ka olelo a kekahi o na wahine naaupo. Eia, e loaa anei ia kakou ka maikai mai ke Akua mai, aole anei e loaa ia kakou ka ino kekahi? Ma keia mea a pao, aole o Ioba i hewa me kona mau lehelehe.
He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 A Iohe na makamaka ekolu o Ioba i keia ino i hiki mai maluna ona, hele mai kela mea keia mea mai kona wahi mai; o Elipaza no Temana, a o Biledada no Suha, a o Zopara no Naama: no ka mea, ua kuka pu lakou e halawai e uwe pu me ia a e hooluolu ia ia.
And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
12 A nana ao la ko lakou mau maka iluna mai kahi mamao aku, aole hikou i ike ia ia, a hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo iluna, a auwe iho la; a haehae lakou o kela mea keia mea i kona aahu, a lulu i ka lepo maluna o ko lakou poo ma ka lani.
And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
13 A noho pu iho lakou me ia ma ka lepo i na la ehiku a me na po ehiko, aole hoi i olelo iki aku kekahi o lakou ia ia: no ka mea, ike no lakou, ua nui loa kona ehaeha.
And they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
