Ayub 2
1 Odiechiengʼ machielo, malaike nochako obiro mondo gichungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
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.”
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth 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.
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
4 Satan nodwoko niya, “Dhano nyalo yie weyo gimoro amora ma en-go mana ni mondo obed mangima.
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
5 Koro temie kimulo dende gi chokene ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi.”
But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
6 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Mano ber, koro en e lweti; makmana ni ngimane ema kik imul.”
“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must 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 out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
8 Eka Ayub nokawo balatago, mondo ogwonyrego kobet e buru.
And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
9 Chiege nokone niya, “Pod kitini itwerigo atweya kuom Nyasachini? Angʼo mamoni kwongʼo Nyasaye mondo itho!”
Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse 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.
“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
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—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
12 Kane ginene ka pod gin mabor, ne ok ginyal ngʼeye. Negichako ywak matek, kendo ne giyiecho lepgi mi gibukore gi buru.
When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
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.
Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
