Iyyoob 2
1 Guyyaa biraas ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufan; Seexannis isaan wajjin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufe.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhe. Seexannis, “Ani lafa hunda irra jooree asii fi achis deddeebiʼaa tureen dhufe” jedhee Waaqayyoof deebise.
And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down 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 considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Seexannis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Gogaan gogaadhaaf! Namni lubbuu isaa oolfachuuf jedhee waan qabu hunda ni kenna.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man has will he give for his life.
5 Garuu ati mee harka kee diriirfadhuutii foonii fi lafee isaa rukuti; inni dhugumaan ifumaan ifatti si abaara.”
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.
6 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Kunoo inni si harka jira; lubbuu isaa garuu hin tuqin” jedhe.
And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but save his life.
7 Kanaafuu Seexanni fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Iyyoobin faana miilla isaatii jalqabee hamma gubbee mataa isaatti madaa hamaadhaan rukute.
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 Iyyoobis ittiin of hooquuf jedhee qiraacii fudhatee daaraa keessa taaʼe.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Niitiin isaa, “Ati amma illee qajeelummaa kee cichitee qabatteertaa? Waaqa abaariitii duʼi!” isaan jette.
Then said his wife to him, Do you still retain your integrity? curse 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.
But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. 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 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.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come on 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 Yommuu fagootti isa arganitti isa beekuu hin dandeenye; isaanis sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼan; uffata isaaniis tarsaasanii mataa isaaniitti daaraa firfirfatan.
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 on their heads toward heaven.
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.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
