Iyyoob 2
1 Guyyaa biraas ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufan; Seexannis isaan wajjin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufe.
But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
2 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhe. Seexannis, “Ani lafa hunda irra jooree asii fi achis deddeebiʼaa tureen dhufe” jedhee Waaqayyoof deebise.
So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
3 Waaqayyos Seexanaan akkana jedhe; “Tajaajilaa koo Iyyoobin qalbeeffatteertaa? Namni isa fakkaatu tokko illee lafa irra hin jiru; inni nama hirʼina hin qabnee fi qajeelaa, nama Waaqa sodaatuu fi hammina irraa fagaate dha. Ati akka ani sababii tokko malee isa balleessuuf na kakaaftu iyyuu inni hamma ammaatti qajeelummaa isaa cichee qabateera.”
And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
4 Seexannis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Gogaan gogaadhaaf! Namni lubbuu isaa oolfachuuf jedhee waan qabu hunda ni kenna.
Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 Garuu ati mee harka kee diriirfadhuutii foonii fi lafee isaa rukuti; inni dhugumaan ifumaan ifatti si abaara.”
Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
6 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Kunoo inni si harka jira; lubbuu isaa garuu hin tuqin” jedhe.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
7 Kanaafuu Seexanni fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Iyyoobin faana miilla isaatii jalqabee hamma gubbee mataa isaatti madaa hamaadhaan rukute.
And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
8 Iyyoobis ittiin of hooquuf jedhee qiraacii fudhatee daaraa keessa taaʼe.
So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
9 Niitiin isaa, “Ati amma illee qajeelummaa kee cichitee qabatteertaa? Waaqa abaariitii duʼi!” isaan jette.
But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
10 Inni immoo deebisee, “Ati akka dubartii gowwaa tokkootti dubbatte. Nu harka Waaqaatii waan gaarii fudhanneerra; waan hamaa immoo fudhachuu hin qabnuu?” jedhe. Wantoota kanneen hunda keessatti Iyyoob waan dubbateen cubbuu hin hojjenne.
He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Michoonni Iyyoob sadan jechuunis Eliifaaz namni Teemaan, Bildaad namni Shuhaatii fi Zoofaari namni Naaʼimaataa yommuu waan Iyyoob irra gaʼe hunda dhagaʼanitti rakkina isaa qoodachuu fi isa jajjabeessuudhaaf tokkummaan walii galanii mana isaaniitii baʼan.
And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
12 Yommuu fagootti isa arganitti isa beekuu hin dandeenye; isaanis sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼan; uffata isaaniis tarsaasanii mataa isaaniitti daaraa firfirfatan.
And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
13 Ergasiis guyyaa torbaa fi halkan torba isa wajjin lafa tataaʼan. Isaan sababii dhiphinni isaa akka malee cimaa taʼuu isaa arganiif, namni tokko iyyuu homaa isatti hin dubbanne.
And they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
