Job 2

Yon jou tout zanj Bondye yo te reyini devan Seyè a, Satan vini tou nan mitan yo.

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Seyè a mande l': -Kote ou soti? Satan reponn: -Mwen sot moute desann toupatou sou latè, mwen t'ap pwonmennen gade.

And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Seyè a di Satan konsa: -Eske ou te wè Jòb, sèvitè m' lan? Pa gen tankou l' sou tout latè. Se yon nonm san repwòch ki mache dwat nan tou sa l'ap fè. Li gen krentif pou Bondye, li toujou ap chache fè sa ki byen. Se koulye a li kenbe m'. Ou wè se pou gremesi ou t'ap pouse m' pou m' te fini avè l'.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Satan reponn li: -Lavi miyò pase byen! Yon moun va bay tou sa li genyen pou l' pa mouri.

And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

Men, si ou manyen kò pa l' menm, ou mèt sèten fwa sa a, l'ap di sa li pa t' dwe di sou ou nan figi ou.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Seyè a di Satan konsa: -Ou mèt fè sa ou vle avè l'. Men, pa touye l' pou mwen.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

Lamenm, Satan vire do l', li ale. Li fè gwo bouton pete sou tout kò Jòb, depi anba pla pye l' jouk nan po tèt li.

So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

Lè sa a, Jòb soti, li al chita nan pil sann kote yo boule fatra. Li pran yon moso krich kraze pou grate kò l'.

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

Madanm li di l' konsa: -Ou nan kenbe pye Bondye fèm toujou? Joure l' byen joure, epi mouri mouri ou kont fini!

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

Jòb di li: -Pe bouch ou la, madanm! W'ap pale tankou moun fou! Lè Bondye ban nou benediksyon, nou kontan. Atò poukisa pou nou plenyen lè li voye malè sou nou? Malgre tou sa ki te rive l', Jòb pa t' kite ankenn move pawòl soti nan bouch li pou li fè peche kont Bondye.

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.

Twa nan zanmi Jòb yo vin konnen tout malè ki te tonbe sou li. Yo kite peyi yo, yo vin wè Job. Se te Elifaz, moun Teman, Bildad, moun Chwak, epi Sofa, moun Naama. Yo fè lide vin ansanm pou plenn sò li epi pou ba li kouraj.

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: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

Yo te yon bèl ti distans toujou lè yo wè Jòb. Yo pa t' rekonèt li. Lè yo rekonèt li, dlo vin nan je yo, yo konmanse rele, yo kriye. Yo chire rad sou yo, yo voye pousyè tè sou tèt yo tèlman sa te fè yo lapenn.

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 mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

Apre sa, yo chita atè a bò kot Jòb pandan sèt jou sèt nwit san di yon mo, paske yo te wè jan l'ap soufri.

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.
