< 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.
And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh—so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.
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.
And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.
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 Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
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.
Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he 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.
In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
6 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia no ia iloko o kou lima; e malama no nae oe i kona ola.
And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, —only, his life, preserve thou!
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.
So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.
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.
And he took him a potsherd, to scrape himself therewith; he being seated in the midst of ashes.
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.
Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine integrity? Curse 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.
And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not 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.
Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, —they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, —for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort 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 lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept—and rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
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 upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, —and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
