Job 24
1 “Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
“Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok oketo odiechieng ngʼado bura mondo ongʼere? Angʼo momiyo joma ongʼeyo geno odiechiengno to ok ginyal nene?
2 There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
Ji ma timbegi richo ketho kiewo; kendo gikwayo jamni ma gisekwalo.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
Gikwalo punda nyathi kich kendo gikawo rwadh pur achiel kende mar dhako ma chwore otho ka gir singo.
4 They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Gimono jochan yudo adiera kendo gimiyo jomodhier ringo pondo.
5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
Joma odhier tiyo matek kamanyo chiemo e thim, mana ka punda; nikech onge kama ginyalo yudoe chiemo ni nyithindgi.
6 They cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
Gichoko chiemb jamni kendo gihulo mzabibu e puothe joricho.
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
Ginindo duk gotieno nikech gionge lewni; gionge gimoro amora ma ginyalo umorego ka koyo ngʼich.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
Kodh ajiki mag gode olwoko dendgi kendo gitwere e lwendni nikech gionge kuonde dak.
9 There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
Nyathi maonge gi wuon iyudho oko e thuno; nyathi jadhier ma pod kwar imako kar gowi.
10 so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
Giwuotho duk e gwengʼ nikech gionge lewni; gitingʼo ne ji chiemo to gin to kech negogi.
11 They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
Ji chunogi gitoyo zeituni kuonde ma gin ema gikunyo, kendo gibiyo olemb mzabibu to gin riyo negogi.
12 From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
Chur mar joma tho ochomo polo koa e dala maduongʼ kendo chunje joma ohinyore ywagore ka dwaro kony, to Nyasaye ok okum joma hinyogi.
13 “These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in its paths.
“Nitie jomoko mangʼanyo ne ler, ma ok ongʼeyo yore ler, kata ma ok dwar ler.
14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
Ka ler mar odiechiengʼ rumo aruma nii, to janek aa malo kendo onego jochan gi jodhier; otimo kamano gotieno kolidho ka jakuo.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.
Wangʼ jachode bende rito mondo piny oimre; oparo e chunye niya, ‘Onge ngʼat ma biro nena,’ kendo opando wangʼe mondo kik ngʼeye.
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.
Jokuo turo udi gotieno, to kochopo odiechiengʼ to gipondo; nimar ok gidwar neno ler.
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
Giduto mudho mandiwa chalnegi okinyi; giloso osiep gi masiche mayudore e mudho mandiwa.
18 “They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
“To kata kamano gichalo buoyo moyienyo ewi pi malo; lopegi okwongʼ, maonge ngʼama rawo e puothegi mag mzabibu mi yudie olemo.
Joricho lal nono e piny ma ji odakie, mana kaka pe leny ka chiengʼ rieny e ndalo oro. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
Onge ngʼama paro joricho kendo wich wil kodgi; mi kudni chamgi kendo itiekogi chuth.
21 He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
Gisando mon ma chwogi otho kendo ok gikech mon maonge nyithindo.
22 Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
To Nyasaye tieko joma roteke gi tekone; kata obedo ni gin joma niginyalo to gionge gi ratiro ni gibiro bedo mangima.
23 God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
Onyalo weyogi mi gipar ni gin gi kwe, to wangʼe osiko rangogi kinde duto.
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Gineno maber kuom kinde matin kende to bangʼe gilal nono kadiemo wangʼ, kendo ichokogi mi giner ka buya mopudhi; kendo ingʼadogi oko mana kaka ingʼado wiye cham.
25 If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
“Ka gik ma awachogo miriambo, to en ngʼa manyalo nyiso maler ni ariambo, ma dimi wechega bed gik manono?”
