Job 2
1 Ke sun len se ma lipufan inkusrao uh enenu in sifilpa tuku ye mutun LEUM GOD, Satan el sifilpa welulos tuku.
On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
2 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Kom muta ya tuku?” Na Satan el fahk, “Nga foroht na forma rarauni faclu.”
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
3 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Ac kom tuh liyal Job, mwet kulansap luk? Wangin sie mwet fin faclu wo ac inse pwaye nu sik oana el. El alu nu sik, ac arulana karinganang elan tia orala kutena ma koluk. Kom tuh kifusyu nwe nga lela nu sum in akupaye nu sel ke wangin, tusruktu Job el srakna inse pwayena nu sik oana meet ah.”
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
4 Na Satan el fahk, “Mwet se ac ku na in pilesrala ma nukewa lal elan mau ku in moul.
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
5 Tusruktu kom ac fin akkolukyela manol, el ac ngetot nu sum ac selngawikomi!”
But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Satan, “Kwal, inge el oan inpoum, tusruktu nimet kom unilya.”
“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”
7 Na Satan el fahsr lukel LEUM GOD ac oru tuh faf puspis in sikyak ac nokomla nufon manol Job.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
8 Job el som ac muta ke nien sisi kutkut, ac sang ipin ahlu fokelik se srike in koala faf kacl inge.
And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
9 Na mutan kial ah fahk nu sel, “Kom srakna sruokyana lulalfongi lom an oana meet ah. Efu ku kom tia tari selngawi God ac misa?”
Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 Na Job el topuk ac fahk, “Kom kaskas oana mwet na lalfon se. Ke God El ase ma wo nu sesr, kut insewowo kac. Na efu ku kut in torkaskas El fin ase ma upa nu sesr?” Job el ne arulana keok, a el tiana torkaskas lain God.
“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
11 Tolu sin mwet kawuk lal Job uh pa Eliphaz sie mwet in siti Teman, Bildad sie mwet Shuah, ac Zophar sie mwet Naamah. Ke elos lohngak lah Job el arulana keok, elos nunkauk elos in som ac akpwaryal.
Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
12 Ke elos srakna fahsr loes lukel Job, elos liyalak, tusruktu elos tiana akilenul. A ke pacl se elos akilenulak elos mutawauk in wowoyak ke tung, ac seya nuknuk lalos ke asor, ac sisak fohkfok nu lucng ah nu fin sifalos.
When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
13 Na elos pituki welul muta fin fohk uh ke len itkosr ac fong itkosr. Elos tia fahkla kutena kas mweyen elos liye lupan keok lal Job.
Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
