< Job 2 >

1 Ke sun len se ma lipufan inkusrao uh enenu in sifilpa tuku ye mutun LEUM GOD, Satan el sifilpa welulos tuku.
And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
2 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Kom muta ya tuku?” Na Satan el fahk, “Nga foroht na forma rarauni faclu.”
And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, 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 says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to 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 you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
4 Na Satan el fahk, “Mwet se ac ku na in pilesrala ma nukewa lal elan mau ku in moul.
And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
5 Tusruktu kom ac fin akkolukyela manol, el ac ngetot nu sum ac selngawikomi!”
Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Satan, “Kwal, inge el oan inpoum, tusruktu nimet kom unilya.”
And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
7 Na Satan el fahsr lukel LEUM GOD ac oru tuh faf puspis in sikyak ac nokomla nufon manol Job.
And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to 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 takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of 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?”
And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless 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.
And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned 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.
And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan 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 they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
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.
And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
