< Job 2 >

1 Ket napasamak manen nga iti aldaw idi napan dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios tapno iparangda dagiti bagbagida iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, simmurot met ni Satanas kadakuada tapno iparangna ti bagina iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
Again it came to pass 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 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Sadino ti naggapuam?” Simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Manipud iti panagsursursor iti rabaw ti daga, ken manipud iti panagpagnapagna nga agsubli-subli iti rabaw daytoy.”
And Jehovah said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Nakitam kadi ni Job nga adipenko? Ta awan iti kas kenkuana idiay daga, awan pakababalawanna ken nalinteg a tao, addaan iti panagbuteng iti Dios ken taltallikudanna ti kinadakes. Salsalimetmetanna pay laeng ti kinapudnona, uray no ginuyugoynak nga agtignay a maibusor kenkuana, tapno dadaelek isuna nga awan gapgapuna.”
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Simmungbat ni Satanas kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Kudil iti kudil, pudno; itedto ti tao iti amin nga adda kenkuana para iti biagna,
And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 Ngem iyunnatmo ta imam ita ket sagidem dagiti tulangna ken ti bagina, ket iparupananto kenka ti panangilunodna kenka.”
But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
6 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Kitaem, adda isuna kadagita imam; saanmo laeng nga al-alaen ti biagna.”
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
7 Pimmanaw ngarud ni Satanas manipud iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ket pinarigatna ni Job babaen kadagiti nakaro a litteg manipud iti dapanna agingga iti rabaw ti ulona.
So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 Nangala ni Job iti buong ti banga nga inkarusna iti bagina, ken nagtugaw isuna kadigiti dapo.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes.
9 Ket kinuna ti asawana kenkuana, “Salimetmetam pay kadi ti kinapudnom? Ilunodmo ti Dios ket mataykan.”
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.
10 Ngem kinunana kenkuana, “Agsasaoka a kas iti maag a babai. Pudno kadi a panpanunotem a nasken nga umawattayo iti nasayaat iti ima ti Dios ket saan iti dakes?” Iti amin daytoy a banag, saan a nagbasol Job babaen kadagiti bibigna.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 Ita, idi nangngeg dagiti tallo a gagayyem ni Job ti amin a dakes a dimteng kenkuana, naggapu ti tunggal maysa kadakuada iti bukodda a lugar: Ni Elifaz a Temanita, ni Bildad a Shuhita, ken ni Zofar a Naamatita. Nangitudingda iti tiempo a mapan makipagladingit kenkuana ken tapno liwliwaenda isuna.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.
12 Idi intannawagda dagiti matada iti adayo pay bassit, dandani saanda a mabigbig isuna; nagpukkawda ken nagsangitda; rinay-ab ti tunggal maysa ti kagayna ken nagipuruakda iti tapok iti angin ken iti uloda.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 Nakitugawda ngarud kenkuana iti daga iti pito nga aldaw ken pito a rabii, ken awan ti nakisasao kenkuana, gapu ta nakitada a nakaro unay ti panagladingitna.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
