< Ioba 2 >

1 A I kekahi la hoi i hele na keiki a ke Akua e hoike ia lakou iho imua o Iehova, o Satana hoi kekahi i hele mai iwaena o lakou e hoike ia ia iho imua o Iehova.
And it happened [again] on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them to present himself before the Lord.
2 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Nohea oe i hele mai nei? Olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, i aku la, Mai ka auwana ana ma ka honua, a mai ka hele ana io ia nei malaila.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou now? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.
3 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka'u kauwa ia Ioba, aohe ona like ma ka honua, he kanaka pono a me ka pololei, ua makau i ke Akua, a ua hookaaokoa i ka hewa? A i keia wa ke hoopaa iho nei ma kona pono, aka, ua koi mai oe ia'u e ku e ia ia, e pepehi hala ole ia ia.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 A olelo aku ia o Satana ia Iehova, i aka ia, He ili no ka ili, o ka mea a pau a ke kanaka, oia kana e haawi aku ai no kona ola.
Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Skin for skin: yea, all that a man hath will he give in behalf of his life.
5 Aka, e kikoo aku oe i kou lima ano, a e hoopa aku i kona iwi a me kona io, a e hoino no oia ia oe imua o kou maka.
But stretch only forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
6 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia no ia iloko o kou lima; e malama no nae oe i kona ola.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.
7 A hele aku la o Satana mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a hahau aku la oia ia Ioba i na mai hehee ehaeha, mai ka poho o kona wawae a kona piko poo.
Thereupon went the Accuser forth from the presence of the Lord, and he smote Job with a sore inflammation, from the sole of his foot unto the crown of his head.
8 A lawe aku la ia i ka apana ipu lepo, a wauwau ia ia iho me ia; a noho iho la ia iloko o ka Iehuahi.
And [Job] took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
9 Alaila olelo mai la kana wahine ia ia, Ke hoopaa nei anei oe ano ma kou pono? E hoino aku i ke Akua a make iho.
Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.
10 Aka, i aku la oia ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei oe e like me ka olelo a kekahi o na wahine naaupo. Eia, e loaa anei ia kakou ka maikai mai ke Akua mai, aole anei e loaa ia kakou ka ino kekahi? Ma keia mea a pao, aole o Ioba i hewa me kona mau lehelehe.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job not sin with his lips.
11 A Iohe na makamaka ekolu o Ioba i keia ino i hiki mai maluna ona, hele mai kela mea keia mea mai kona wahi mai; o Elipaza no Temana, a o Biledada no Suha, a o Zopara no Naama: no ka mea, ua kuka pu lakou e halawai e uwe pu me ia a e hooluolu ia ia.
When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na'amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
12 A nana ao la ko lakou mau maka iluna mai kahi mamao aku, aole hikou i ike ia ia, a hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo iluna, a auwe iho la; a haehae lakou o kela mea keia mea i kona aahu, a lulu i ka lepo maluna o ko lakou poo ma ka lani.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and they recognised him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and strewed dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 A noho pu iho lakou me ia ma ka lepo i na la ehiku a me na po ehiko, aole hoi i olelo iki aku kekahi o lakou ia ia: no ka mea, ike no lakou, ua nui loa kona ehaeha.
They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain was very great.
