Job 2
1 Ó sì tún di ọjọ́ kan nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run wá síwájú Olúwa, Satani sì wá pẹ̀lú wọn láti pe níwájú Olúwa.
On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
2 Olúwa sì bi Satani pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti wá?” Satani sì dá Olúwa lóhùn pé, “Láti lọ síwá sẹ́yìn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé àti ní ìrìnkèrindò nínú rẹ̀.”
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
3 Olúwa sì wí fún Satani pé, “Ìwọ ha kíyèsi Jobu ìránṣẹ́ mi, pé, kò sí ẹni tí ó dàbí rẹ̀ ní ayé, ọkùnrin tí ń ṣe olóòtítọ́ tí ó sì dúró ṣinṣin, ẹni tí ó bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, tí ó sì kórìíra ìwà búburú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì di ìwà òtítọ́ rẹ̀ mu ṣinṣin, bí ìwọ tilẹ̀ ti dẹ mí sí i láti run ún láìnídìí.”
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
4 Satani sì dá Olúwa lóhùn wí pé, “Awọ fún awọ; àní ohun gbogbo tí ènìyàn ní, òun ni yóò fi ra ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n nawọ́ rẹ nísinsin yìí, kí ó tọ́ egungun rẹ̀ àti ara rẹ̀, bí kì yóò sì bọ́hùn ní ojú rẹ.”
But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
6 Olúwa sì wí fún Satani pé, “Wò ó, ó ń bẹ ní ìkáwọ́ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n dá ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ sí.”
“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”
7 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Satani jáde lọ kúrò níwájú Olúwa, ó sì sọ Jobu ní oówo kíkankíkan láti àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ títí dé àtàrí rẹ̀.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
8 Ó sì mú àpáàdì, ó fi ń họ ara rẹ̀, ó sì jókòó nínú eérú. (questioned)
And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
9 Nígbà náà ni aya rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ di ìwà òtítọ́ mú síbẹ̀! Bú Ọlọ́run, kí ó sì kú!”
Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 Ṣùgbọ́n ó dá a lóhùn pé, “Ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ bí ọ̀kan lára àwọn aṣiwèrè obìnrin ti í sọ̀rọ̀; há bà! Àwa yóò ha gba ìre lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, kí a má sì gba ibi?” Nínú gbogbo èyí, Jobu kò fi ètè rẹ̀ ṣẹ̀.
“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
11 Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ Jobu mẹ́ta gbúròó gbogbo ibi tí ó bá a, wọ́n wá, olúkúlùkù láti ibùjókòó rẹ̀; Elifasi, ara Temani àti Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, àti Sofari, ará Naama: nítorí pé wọ́n ti dájọ́ ìpàdé pọ̀ láti bá a ṣọ̀fọ̀, àti láti ṣìpẹ̀ fún un.
Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
12 Nígbà tí wọ́n gbójú wọn wò ní òkèrè réré, tí wọ́n kò sì mọ̀ ọ́n, wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sọkún: olúkúlùkù sì fa aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ̀ ya, wọ́n sì ku erùpẹ̀ sí ojú ọ̀run, wọ́n sì tẹ́ orí gbà á.
When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n jókòó tì í ní inú erùpẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ méje ti ọ̀sán ti òru, ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì bá a sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan, nítorí tí wọ́n ti rí i pé ìbànújẹ́ rẹ̀ pọ̀ jọjọ.
Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
