Ayub 2
1 Odiechiengʼ machielo, malaike nochako obiro mondo gichungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh—so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.
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 Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.
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 Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
4 Satan nodwoko niya, “Dhano nyalo yie weyo gimoro amora ma en-go mana ni mondo obed mangima.
Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.
5 Koro temie kimulo dende gi chokene ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi.”
In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
6 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Mano ber, koro en e lweti; makmana ni ngimane ema kik imul.”
And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, —only, his life, preserve thou!
7 Kuom mano Satan nowuok oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nogoyo Ayub gi buche maremo malit, kochakore e tiende nyaka e wiye.
So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and smote Job with a sore boil, 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; he being seated in the midst of ashes.
9 Chiege nokone niya, “Pod kitini itwerigo atweya kuom Nyasachini? Angʼo mamoni kwongʼo Nyasaye mondo itho!”
Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine 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.
And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not 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 the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, —they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, —for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with 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 rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
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.
And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, —and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
