< 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 happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan came also among them to present himself before YHWH.
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.”
YHWH said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered YHWH, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on 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.”
YHWH said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin 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,
Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will 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 your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
6 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Satanas, “Kitaem, adda isuna kadagita imam; saanmo laeng nga al-alaen ti biagna.”
YHWH said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve 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 YHWH, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8 Nangala ni Job iti buong ti banga nga inkarusna iti bagina, ken nagtugaw isuna kadigiti dapo.
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
9 Ket kinuna ti asawana kenkuana, “Salimetmetam pay kadi ti kinapudnom? Ilunodmo ti Dios ket mataykan.”
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your 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 said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not 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 adversity 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 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.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over 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.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
