¹Again it happened on the day when the God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh.

¹Quicuulac xkßehil nak queßxchßutub cuißchic rib chiru li Dios eb li ángel. Ut saß xyânkeb aßan quicuulac cuißchic laj tza.

²Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

²Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj tza: —¿Bar xatchal chak? chan re. Ut laj tza quixye re li Dios: —Yôquin chak chixsutinquil li ruchichßochß. Yôquin chixbeninquil cuib yalak bar, chan.

³Yahweh 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. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”

³Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj tza: —¿Ma incßaß nacacuil laj Job laj cßanjel chicuu? Mâ ani chic junak cuînk joß aßan saß ruchichßochß. Aßan tzßakal re ru lix yußam ut tîc xchßôl. Aßan naxxucua cuu ut incßaß naxbânu mâusilal. Usta lâat xaye cue nak tincanab chixcßulbal li raylal re chi mâcßaß rajbal, abanan laj Job toj cuan saß tîquilal ut toj cau xchßôl cuiqßuin, chan li Dios.

⁴Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

⁴Abanan laj tza quixye re li Dios: —Cui mâcßaß naxcßul lix tibel li cuînk, mâcßaß naxye, usta naxqßue chi tzßekecß li cßaßru cuan re xban xcolbal rix lix yußam.

⁵But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”

⁵Qßue junak yajel saß lix tibel ut aran tâcuil ma incßaß na tatxtzßektâna, chan.

⁶Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”

⁶Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj tza: —Us. Mâcßaß naxye. Bânu li cßaßru tâcuaj re, abanan incßaß tâcamsi, chan li Kâcuaß.

⁷So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.

⁷Ut laj tza qui-el riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Ut quixtakla jun li yajel yibru saß xbên laj Job ut quixoxoß chixjunil li rix.

⁸He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.

⁸Ut laj Job cô chixchunubanquil rib saß li cha. Quixchap jun pedâs xcßaj ucßal ut riqßuin aßan quixjoch li rix.

⁹Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”

⁹Ut li rixakil quixye re: —¿Ma toj nacacuaj xbânunquil li us? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß tâtzßektâna li Dios ut tatcâmk? chan re.

¹⁰But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.

¹⁰Laj Job quixye re li rixakil: —¿Cßaßut nak nacat-âtinac chi joßcan? Lâat tôntil naßleb nacaye. Cui nakacßul li us li naxqßue ke li Dios, ¿cßaßut nak incßaß takacßul li raylal li nachal saß kabên? chan re. Ut riqßuin chixjunil li raylal li quixcßul mâ jun âtin quixye re xtzßektânanquil li Dios.

¹¹Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil 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.

¹¹Cuanqueb oxib ramîg laj Job: laj Elifaz, Temán xtenamit; ut laj Bildad, Súa xtenamit; ut laj Zofar, Naamat xtenamit. Eb li oxib chi cuînk aßin queßrabi resil nak laj Job yô chixcßulbal raylal. Joßcan nak queßxcßûb rib chi xic chirilbal re nak teßxcßojob xchßôl ut teßxtenkßa.

¹²When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.

¹²Cuanqueb chak chi najt nak queßril laj Job ut incßaß queßxnau nak aßan. Nak queßxqßue retal nak aßan, queßoc chixjapbal re chi yâbac. Chi xjûnkaleb queßxpej li rakßeb ut queßxcut li poks saß ikß ut queßxqßue ajcuiß saß xjolomeb xban xrahil xchßôleb.Ut chirix aßan queßchunla saß chßochß chixcßatk chiru cuukub cutan ut cuukub kßojyîn. Ut mâ jun âtin queßxye xban nak queßxqßue retal nak kßaxal ra yô chixcßulbal laj Job.

¹³So 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 grief was very great.

¹³Ut chirix aßan queßchunla saß chßochß chixcßatk chiru cuukub cutan ut cuukub kßojyîn. Ut mâ jun âtin queßxye xban nak queßxqßue retal nak kßaxal ra yô chixcßulbal laj Job.
