Iyyoob 2
1 Guyyaa biraas ergamoonni Waaqayyoo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufan; Seexannis isaan wajjin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaachuuf dhufe.
Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also amongst 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.
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth 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.”
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains 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.
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, 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 stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6 Waaqayyos Seexanaan, “Kunoo inni si harka jira; lubbuu isaa garuu hin tuqin” jedhe.
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7 Kanaafuu Seexanni fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Iyyoobin faana miilla isaatii jalqabee hamma gubbee mataa isaatti madaa hamaadhaan rukute.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8 Iyyoobis ittiin of hooquuf jedhee qiraacii fudhatee daaraa keessa taaʼe.
He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat amongst 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 maintain your integrity? Renounce 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. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t 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 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 sympathise 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 didn’t recognise him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads towards 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.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
