Job 1
1 In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil.
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.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters.
Ne en gi yawuowi abiriyo gi nyiri adek
3 His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of the East.
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.
4 Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
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.
5 And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
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.
6 Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them.
Chiengʼ moro achiel malaike nobiro e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Satan bende nobiro kodgi.
7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Satan niya, “Ia kanye?” Satan nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asebedo ka abayo abaya e piny, kendo alworora koni gi koni.”
8 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil?
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.”
9 Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
Satan nodwoko niya, “Iparo ni Ayub oluoro Nyasaye kaonge gima omiyo?
10 Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the land.
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?
11 But only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
Tem ane ikaw gik moko duto ma en-go ka ok dokwongʼi e wangʼi?”
12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
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.
13 Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Chiengʼ moro ka nyithind Ayub ne chiemo kendo metho e od owadgi maduongʼ,
14 when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
achiel kuom jotij Ayub nobiro ire mowachone niya, “Noyudo ka wapuro gi rwedhi kendo punde ne kwayo machiegni kodwa,
15 and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
to jo-Sabea nobiro momonjowa kendo okawogi duto. Bende gisenego jotiji duto gi ligangla ma an kendo ema atony mondo anyisi wachni!”
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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!”
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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!”
18 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;
Kane pod owuoyo, jatich machielo bende nobiro mowacho niya, “Yawuoti gi nyigi ne jochiemo kendo metho e od owadgi maduongʼ,
19 and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, 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.
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!”
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
E sa onogo, Ayub noa malo mi oyiecho lepe kendo olielo yie wiye. Eka nopodho piny auma kolemo,
21 and said, Naked came I forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
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.”
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.
Kuom magi duto, Ayub ne ok otimo richo kata kwano Nyasaye kaka jaketho.
