< 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.
And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.
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 the Lord, said to the devil, Whence come you? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
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 the Lord said to the devil, Hast you then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas you has told [me] to destroy his substance 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 the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
5 Ngem iyunnatmo ta imam ita ket sagidem dagiti tulangna ken ti bagina, ket iparupananto kenka ti panangilunodna kenka.”
Nay, but put forth your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
6 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Kitaem, adda isuna kadagita imam; saanmo laeng nga al-alaen ti biagna.”
And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to you; only save 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 the devil went out from the Lord, and struck Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
8 Nangala ni Job iti buong ti banga nga inkarusna iti bagina, ken nagtugaw isuna kadigiti dapo.
And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
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 retain thine integrity? curse 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 looked on her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
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 his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit 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 saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
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.
and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
