< UJobe 2 >

1 Kwakulosuku futhi lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu afika ukuzimisa phambi kweNkosi, uSathane laye wafika phakathi kwawo ukuzimisa phambi kweNkosi.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne in sum dai the sones of God `weren comun, and stoden bifor the Lord, and Sathan `was comun among hem, and stood in his siyt,
2 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Uvela ngaphi? USathane wasephendula iNkosi wathi: Ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni lekuhambahambeni kuwo.
that the Lord seide to Sathan, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, and seide, Y haue cumpassid the erthe, `and Y haue go thury it.
3 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Ubekile yini inhliziyo yakho encekwini yami uJobe? Ngoba kakho onjengaye emhlabeni, umuntu opheleleyo loqondileyo, owesaba uNkulunkulu, loxwaya ububi? Usabambelele kubo ubuqotho bakhe, lanxa ungivuse ukuze ngimchithe kungelasizatho.
And the Lord seide to Sathan, Whethir thou hast biholde my seruaunt Joob, that noon in erthe is lijk hym; he is a symple man, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awei fro yuel, and yit holdynge innocence? `But thou hast moued me ayens him, that `Y schulde turmente hym in veyn.
4 USathane wasephendula iNkosi wathi: Isikhumba ngesikhumba, yebo, konke umuntu alakho uzakunikelela impilo yakhe.
To whom Sathan answeride, and seide, `A man schal yyue skyn for skyn, and alle thingis that he hath for his lijf;
5 Kodwa khathesi yelula isandla sakho, uthinte ithambo lakhe lenyama yakhe; isibili uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.
`ellis sende thin hond, and touche his boon and fleisch, and thanne thou schalt se, that he schal curse thee in the face.
6 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Khangela, usesandleni sakho; kodwa gcina impilo yakhe.
Therfor the Lord seide to Sathan, Lo! he is in `thin hond; netheles kepe thou his lijf.
7 USathane wasephuma phambi kweNkosi, wamtshaya uJobe ngamathumba amabi, kusukela ngaphansi konyawo lwakhe kuze kube enkanda yakhe.
Therfor Sathan yede out fro the face of the Lord, and smoot Joob with `a ful wickid botche fro the sole of the foot `til to his top;
8 Wasezithathela udengezi ukuziphala ngalo, wahlala phakathi kwesilotha.
which Joob schauyde the quytere with a schelle, `and sat in the dunghil.
9 Umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Usabambelele yini kubuqotho bakho? Thuka uNkulunkulu, ufe.
Forsothe his wijf seide to hym, Dwellist thou yit in thi symplenesse? Curse thou God, and die.
10 Kodwa wathi kuye: Ukhuluma njengokukhuluma komunye wabesifazana abayiziwula. Kambe, sizakwemukela okuhle kuNkulunkulu, singemukeli lokubi yini? Kukho konke lokhu uJobe konanga ngendebe zakhe.
And Joob seide, Thou hast spoke as oon of the fonned wymmen; if we han take goodis of the hond of the Lord, whi forsothe suffren we not yuels? In alle these thingis Joob synnede not in hise lippis.
11 Abangane abathathu bakaJobe sebezwile ngakho konke lokhu okubi okumehleleyo, beza, lowo lalowo evela endaweni yakhe, uElifazi umThemani, loBilidadi umShuhi, loZofari umNahama; bavumelana ndawonye ukuthi beze bamkhalele bamduduze.
Therfor thre frendis of Joob herden al the yuel, that hadde bifelde to hym, and camen ech man fro his place, Eliphath Temanytes, and Baldach Suythes, and Sophar Naamathites; for thei `hadden seide togidere to hem silf, that thei wolden come togidere, and visite hym, and coumforte.
12 Lapho bephakamisa amehlo abo bekhatshana, kabamazanga, baphakamisa ilizwi labo, bakhala inyembezi, badabula ngulowo ibhatshi lakhe, bavuvuzela uthuli emakhanda abo ngasemazulwini.
And whanne thei hadden reisid afer `her iyen, thei knewen not hym; and thei crieden, and wepten, and to-renten her clothis, and spreynten dust on her heed `in to heuene.
13 Basebehlala laye emhlabathini insuku eziyisikhombisa lobusuku obuyisikhombisa, njalo kakho owakhuluma ilizwi kuye, ngoba babona ukuthi ubuhlungu bukhulu kakhulu.
And thei saten with hym in the erthe seuene daies and seuene nyytis, and no man spak a word to hym; for thei sien, that his sorewe was greet.
