Ayub 2
1 Odiechiengʼ machielo, malaike nochako obiro mondo gichungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them to present himself before 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.”
Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on 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.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. He still holds fast to his integrity, although you misled 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.
Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Skin for skin, indeed; a man will give all he has for his life.
5 Koro temie kimulo dende gi chokene ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi.”
But stretch out your hand now and touch his bones and his flesh, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
6 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Mano ber, koro en e lweti; makmana ni ngimane ema kik imul.”
Yahweh said to Satan, “See, he is in your hand; it is only his life that you must spare.”
7 Kuom mano Satan nowuok oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nogoyo Ayub gi buche maremo malit, kochakore e tiende nyaka e wiye.
Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh. He struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his feet to his head.
8 Eka Ayub nokawo balatago, mondo ogwonyrego kobet e buru.
Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself with, and he sat down in the middle of ashes.
9 Chiege nokone niya, “Pod kitini itwerigo atweya kuom Nyasachini? Angʼo mamoni kwongʼo Nyasaye mondo itho!”
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to 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.
But he said to her, “You talk as a foolish woman talks. Should we receive the good from God and not receive the bad?” In all this matter, Job did not 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 had come on him, each of them came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They set a time to come to mourn 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.
When they lifted up their eyes at a distance, they did not recognize him. They raised their voices and wept; each tore his robe and threw dust into the air and upon his own 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 with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights. No one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
