Ayub 40
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Ayub kama:
Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said,
2 “Bende nitiere ngʼat mapiem gi Jehova Nyasaye Maratego manyalo kwere? Mad koro ngʼat mamino wach gi Nyasaye oduokeane!”
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Eka Ayub nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye kama:
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ok aromo dwokora kodi omiyo mano ema omiyo alingʼ.
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Asewuoyo moromo, to ok ayudo dwoko omiyo koro ok abi wuoyo kendo.”
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Ayub gi ei yamo maduongʼ. Nowacho kama:
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 “Chungʼ ane ka dichwo; mondo idwoka weche, ma adwaro penjigi.
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me.
8 “Angʼo momiyo iketho adiera mara? Angʼo momiyo iketo rach kuoma mondo in inenri ka ngʼama ber?
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Bende in gi teko machalo gi mar Nyasaye koso dwondi bende nyalo mor kaka mare?
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like his?
10 Ka kamano, to kare bidhriane, kirwakori gi duongʼ, luor kod ber.
Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellence; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Bangʼ mano rang jogo ma sungore, kendo iol mirimbi mager kuomgi mondo omi gibolre.
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him.
12 Ee, rang joma sungore duto kendo, ikumgi kama gichungoeno mondo omi gibolre.
Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Ikgi duto e lowo; mondo ji kik negi kendo.
Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.
14 Kinyalo timo kamano to an owuon ema anakuong paki ni tekri iwuon ema omiyo iloyo.
Then will I also confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee.
15 “Parane rawo, mane achweyo kaka ne achweyi kendo machamo lum kaka rwadh pur chamo.
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Parie teko mangʼeny ma en-go, kendo parie teko maduongʼ manie leche mag dende!
Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 Iwe yamo tero ka yiend sida; kendo leche manie bembene omoko kuome maber.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his male organs are wrapped together.
18 Chokene otegno ka mula, kendo tiendene otegno ka chuma.
His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 Ikwane kaka chwech maberie moloyo mar Nyasaye e kind le duto, kendo en mana Jachwechne kende ema nyalo chome gi ligangla.
He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [him].
20 Ochamo lumbe motwi ewi got, kuonde ma le mager ema kwayoe.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 Onindo piny ei saka kendo opondo e dier odundu motwi e thidhna.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 Saka oime gi tipone; kendo omburi motwi e tie aora olwore.
The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook encompass him.
23 Kata ka aora opongʼ moo oko, to ok bwoge; chunye ngʼich angʼicha kata ka aora Jordan opongʼ kendo mwomore marach.
Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 En ngʼa manyalo dino wangʼe mi make, kata madi duode mi tuch ume?
He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.
