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.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 Ne en gi yawuowi abiriyo gi nyiri adek
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
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.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
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.
And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
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.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burn offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Chiengʼ moro achiel malaike nobiro e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7 Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Satan niya, “Ia kanye?” Satan nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asebedo ka abayo abaya e piny, kendo alworora koni gi koni.”
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
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.”
And the LORD 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 escheweth evil.
9 Satan nodwoko niya, “Iparo ni Ayub oluoro Nyasaye kaonge gima omiyo?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
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?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Tem ane ikaw gik moko duto ma en-go ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi?”
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
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.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13 Chiengʼ moro ka nyithind Ayub ne chiemo kendo metho e od owadgi maduongʼ,
And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,
14 achiel kuom jotij Ayub nobiro ire mowachone niya, “Noyudo ka wapuro gi rwedhi kendo punde ne kwayo machiegni kodwa,
that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 to jo-Sabea nobiro momonjowa kendo okawogi duto. Bende gisenego jotiji duto gi ligangla ma an kendo ema atony mondo anyisi wachni!”
and the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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!”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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!”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 Kane pod owuoyo, jatich machielo bende nobiro mowacho niya, “Yawuoti gi nyigi ne jochiemo kendo metho e od owadgi maduongʼ,
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
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!”
and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 E sa onogo, Ayub noa malo mi oyiecho lepe kendo olielo yie wiye. Eka nopodho piny auma kolemo,
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
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.”
and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
22 Kuom magi duto, Ayub ne ok otimo richo kata kwano Nyasaye kaka jaketho.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God with foolishness.
