Iyyoob 2
1 Guyyaa biraas ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufan; Seexannis isaan wajjin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufe.
Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
2 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhe. Seexannis, “Ani lafa hunda irra jooree asii fi achis deddeebiʼaa tureen dhufe” jedhee Waaqayyoof deebise.
Jehovah said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on 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.”
Jehovah said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
4 Seexannis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Gogaan gogaadhaaf! Namni lubbuu isaa oolfachuuf jedhee waan qabu hunda ni kenna.
Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all 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.”
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.
Jehovah said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
7 Kanaafuu Seexanni fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Iyyoobin faana miilla isaatii jalqabee hamma gubbee mataa isaatti madaa hamaadhaan rukute.
So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8 Iyyoobis ittiin of hooquuf jedhee qiraacii fudhatee daaraa keessa taaʼe.
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
9 Niitiin isaa, “Ati amma illee qajeelummaa kee cichitee qabatteertaa? Waaqa abaariitii duʼi!” isaan jette.
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to 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 would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" 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.
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize 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.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
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 pain was very great.
