< Ayub 1 >
1 Ne nitie ngʼat moro mane odak e piny Uz mane nyinge Ayub. Ngʼatni ne en ngʼama longʼo chuth kendo ngʼama kare; ne oluoro Nyasaye kendo nokwedo gik maricho.
Mʼdziko la Uzi munali munthu wina, dzina lake Yobu. Munthu ameneyu anali wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, ankaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.
2 Ne en gi yawuowi abiriyo gi nyiri adek
Anali ndi ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri ndi ana aakazi atatu,
3 kendo ne en gi rombe alufu abiriyo, ngamia alufu adek, rweth pur mia abich, gi punde mia abich, kendo ne en gi jotich mangʼeny. Kuom mano, ne en ngʼat marahuma moloyo ji duto modak yo wuok chiengʼ.
ndipo anali ndi nkhosa 7,000, ngamira 3,000, ngʼombe zantchito 1,000 ndi abulu aakazi 500, ndiponso anali ndi antchito ambiri. Iye anali munthu wotchuka kwambiri pakati pa anthu onse a mʼmayiko a kummawa.
4 Yawuote ne loso nyasi e utegi, ka moro ka moro kuomgi ni godiechienge kendo ne luongo nyiminegi adek mondo ochiem kendo ometh kodgi e nyasigigo.
Ana ake aamuna ankachita phwando mosinthanasinthana mʼnyumba zawo, ndipo ankayitana alongo awo atatu aja kudzadya ndi kumwa nawo.
5 Kane kinde mane gitimoe nyasigo oserumo, Ayub ne luongogi mondo opwodhgi. Okinyi kogwen notimo misango miwangʼo pep ne moro ka moro kuomgi, koparo ni dipo ka achiel kuomgi osetimo richo mi giyanyo Nyasaye gie chunygi. Ma ne en tim Ayub mane otimo kinde ka kinde.
Masiku aphwandowo atatha, Yobu ankawayitana kuti adzawayeretse. Mmamawa iye ankapereka nsembe yopsereza kuperekera mwana aliyense, poganiza kuti, “Mwina ana anga achimwa ndi kutukwana Mulungu mʼmitima yawo.” Umu ndi mmene Yobu ankachitira nthawi zonse.
6 Chiengʼ moro achiel malaike nobiro e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
Ana a Mulungu atabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anafika nawo limodzi.
7 Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Satan niya, “Ia kanye?” Satan nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asebedo ka abayo abaya e piny, kendo alworora koni gi koni.”
Yehova anati kwa Satanayo, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.”
8 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Dipo ka iseparo wach moro kuom jatichna Ayub? Onge ngʼato machielo e piny ngima machalo kode nikech olongʼo kendo ngʼama kare en ngʼat moluora kendo motangʼ ne richo.”
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.”
9 Satan nodwoko niya, “Iparo ni Ayub oluoro Nyasaye kaonge gima omiyo?
Satana anayankha kuti, “Kodi Yobu amaopa Mulungu popanda chifukwa?”
10 Donge iseketo chiel molwore en kaachiel gi ode kod gik moko duto ma en-go? Donge isegwedho tich lwete, momiyo jambe gi kwethne olak e pinyno duto?
“Kodi Inu simumamuteteza iyeyo, nyumba yake ndi zonse zimene ali nazo? Mwadalitsa ntchito ya manja ake, kotero kuti nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zake zili ponseponse mʼdzikomo.
11 Tem ane ikaw gik moko duto ma en-go ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi?”
Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kukantha zonse ali nazo ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.”
12 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Kare ber, gimoro amora ma en-go ni e lweti, to en owuon kik imule kata gi lith lweti.” Eka Satan nowuok oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, tsono zonse zimene ali nazo ndaziyika mʼmanja mwako, koma iye yekhayo usamukhudze.” Pamenepo Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova.
13 Chiengʼ moro ka nyithind Ayub ne chiemo kendo metho e od owadgi maduongʼ,
Tsiku lina pamene ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi a Yobu ankachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba mwa mkulu wawo,
14 achiel kuom jotij Ayub nobiro ire mowachone niya, “Noyudo ka wapuro gi rwedhi kendo punde ne kwayo machiegni kodwa,
wamthenga anabwera kwa Yobu ndipo anati, “Ngʼombe zanu zotipula ndipo abulu anu amadya chapafupi pomwepo,
15 to jo-Sabea nobiro momonjowa kendo okawogi duto. Bende gisenego jotiji duto gi ligangla ma an kendo ema atony mondo anyisi wachni!”
tsono panabwera Aseba kudzatithira nkhondo ndi kutenga zonse. Apha antchito ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
16 Kane oyudo pod owuoyo, jatich machielo nobiro mowacho niya, “Maj Nyasaye nolwar koa e polo mowangʼo rombe kaachiel gi jotich, kendo an kenda ema asetony mondo anyisi wachni!”
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Kunagwa mphenzi ndipo yapsereza nkhosa ndi antchito anu onse, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
17 Kane pod owuoyo, jatich machielo nobiro mowacho niya, “Jo-Kaldea noloso migepe adek mag jolweny mi gimonjowa ma gikawo ngamia-gi duto kendo gidhigo. Gisenego jotichni duto gi ligangla, kendo an kenda ema asetony mondo anyisi wachni!”
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Akasidi anadzigawa mʼmagulu atatu ankhondo ndipo anafika pa ngamira zanu ndi kuzitenga. Apha antchito anu onse ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
18 Kane pod owuoyo, jatich machielo bende nobiro mowacho niya, “Yawuoti gi nyigi ne jochiemo kendo metho e od owadgi maduongʼ,
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, panafikanso wamthenga wina nati, “Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi amachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba ya mkulu wawo,
19 eka apoya nono yamo maduongʼ nomwomore koa e piny motimo ongoro kendo nogoyo konde angʼwen mag ot. Odno norwombore kendo giduto gisetho ma an kenda ema asetony mondo anyisi wachni!”
mwadzidzidzi chinayamba chimphepo champhamvu chochokera ku chipululu, nʼkudzawomba nyumba mbali zonse zinayi. Nyumbayo yawagwera ndipo afa, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
20 E sa onogo, Ayub noa malo mi oyiecho lepe kendo olielo yie wiye. Eka nopodho piny auma kolemo,
Atamva zimenezi, Yobu anayimirira nangʼamba mkanjo wake, ndi kumeta tsitsi lake. Kenaka anadzigwetsa pansi napembedza Mulungu,
21 kowacho niya: “Ne aa ei minwa ka an duk, kendo abiro dok ka an aduk. Jehova Nyasaye ema nochiwo kendo Jehova Nyasaye ema osekawo; mad nying Jehova Nyasaye opaki.”
nati, “Ndinatuluka maliseche mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, namonso mʼmanda ndidzalowa wamaliseche. Yehova ndiye anapereka ndipo Yehova watenga; litamandike dzina la Yehova.”
22 Kuom magi duto, Ayub ne ok otimo richo kata kwano Nyasaye kaka jaketho.
Mu zonsezi, Yobu sanachimwe kapena kunena kuti, “Mulungu walakwa.”
