< Siope 2 >

1 Pea naʻe toe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani, mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi? Pea ʻoku ne kei kuku maʻu pe ʻene angatonu, ka naʻa ke ueʻi au ki ai, ke fakaʻauha ia taʻehanoʻuhinga.”
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 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kili maʻa e kili, ʻio, ʻe foaki ʻe he tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ke ne moʻui ai.
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo ala ki hono hui mo hono kakano, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ia; ka ko ʻene moʻui pe ʻe tapu.”
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7 Pea ʻalu ai ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻa Siope ʻae ngaahi hangatāmaki mamahi, ʻo fai mei hono ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki hono tumuʻaki.
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 Pea ne toʻo ʻe ia ʻae konga ipu maumau ʻo teletele ʻaki ia; pea tangutu ia ʻi he efuefu.
He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9 Pea pehē ai ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke kei kuku hoʻo angatonu? Lea kovi ki he ʻOtua, ka ke mate.”
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
10 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ko hoʻo lea ʻoku hangē ko e lea ʻa ha taha ʻi he kau fefine vale. ʻIo! he te tau maʻu koā ʻae lelei mei he nima ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻikai te tau maʻu mo e kovi?” ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope ʻi hono loungutu.
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 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kāinga ʻe toko tolu ʻo Siope ki he kovi ni kotoa pē kuo tō kiate ia, naʻa nau haʻu mei honau potu taki taha; ko Elifasi mei Timani, mo Pilitati mei Suaa, mo Sofaa mei Neama: he kuo nau tālanga ke nau fakataha ke nau mamahi mo ia mo nau fakafiemālieʻi ia.
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 sympathize with him and to comfort him.
12 Pea ʻi heʻenau hanga hake kiate ia mei he mamaʻo, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ia, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea naʻa nau taki taha haehae hono pulupulu, mo lī ʻae efu ki ʻolunga ki honau ʻulu.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
13 Pea naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kelekele ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu mo e pō ʻe fitu, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ha taha ki ai: he naʻa nau vakai kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mamahi.
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.
