< Job 2 >

1 Ke sun len se ma lipufan inkusrao uh enenu in sifilpa tuku ye mutun LEUM GOD, Satan el sifilpa welulos tuku.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yhwh, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yhwh.
2 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Kom muta ya tuku?” Na Satan el fahk, “Nga foroht na forma rarauni faclu.”
And Yhwh said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Yhwh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down 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.”
And Yhwh said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Na Satan el fahk, “Mwet se ac ku na in pilesrala ma nukewa lal elan mau ku in moul.
And Satan answered Yhwh, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 Tusruktu kom ac fin akkolukyela manol, el ac ngetot nu sum ac selngawikomi!”
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Satan, “Kwal, inge el oan inpoum, tusruktu nimet kom unilya.”
And Yhwh said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
7 Na Satan el fahsr lukel LEUM GOD ac oru tuh faf puspis in sikyak ac nokomla nufon manol Job.
So went Satan forth from the presence of Yhwh, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 Job el som ac muta ke nien sisi kutkut, ac sang ipin ahlu fokelik se srike in koala faf kacl inge.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down 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 said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine 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.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. 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 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 heard of all this evil that was come upon 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 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.
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 upon their heads toward heaven.
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.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
