Ayub 2
1 Odiechiengʼ machielo, malaike nochako obiro mondo gichungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
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 To Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Satan niya, “Ia kanye?” Satan nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asebedo ka abayo abaya e piny, kendo alworora koni gi koni.”
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Satan niya, “Dipo ka iseparo wach moro kuom jatichna Ayub? Onge ngʼat machielo e piny ngima machalo kode nikech olongʼo chuth kendo en ngʼama kare moluora kendo motangʼ ne richo.” Pod osiko mana gi berne mapile, kata obedo ni ne idonjone ira mondo atieke kaonge gimomiyo.
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 Satan nodwoko niya, “Dhano nyalo yie weyo gimoro amora ma en-go mana ni mondo obed mangima.
And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 Koro temie kimulo dende gi chokene ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi.”
But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
6 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Mano ber, koro en e lweti; makmana ni ngimane ema kik imul.”
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
7 Kuom mano Satan nowuok oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nogoyo Ayub gi buche maremo malit, kochakore e tiende nyaka e wiye.
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 Eka Ayub nokawo balatago, mondo ogwonyrego kobet e buru.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes.
9 Chiege nokone niya, “Pod kitini itwerigo atweya kuom Nyasachini? Angʼo mamoni kwongʼo Nyasaye mondo itho!”
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.
10 To nodwoke niya, “Iwuoyo ka dhako mofuwo. Diwayie mana gi ber kende ma aa kuom Nyasaye to ok chandruok?” Kuom magi duto, Ayub ne ok otimo richo e gimoro amora mane owacho.
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 Ka osiepe Ayub adek mane gin Elifaz ja-Teman gi Bildad ja-Shua kod Zofar Ja-Namath nowinjo chandruok duto mane en-go, ne giwuok ka gia e miechgi kendo ne giwinjore mondo girom kaachiel mondo gidhi gitimne mos kendo gihoye.
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 Kane ginene ka pod gin mabor, ne ok ginyal ngʼeye. Negichako ywak matek, kendo ne giyiecho lepgi mi gibukore gi buru.
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 Bangʼe negibet kode piny e lowo kuom ndalo abiriyo odiechiengʼ gotieno. Onge ngʼama nowachone wach moro amora, nikech negineno ka chandruok mane en-go ne pek moloyo.
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.
