Ayub 6
1 Eka Ayub nodwoke kama:
Then Job spoke again, saying [to Eliphaz],
2 “Ka dine bed ni inyalo pimo chandruok ma an-go, kata pimo masira duto momaka e ratil,
“If all my troubles and misery could be put on a scale and weighed,
3 to adier, dine gibedo mapek moloyo kwoyo mathoth manie dho nam, mano emomiyo wechena osebedo ka yombore.
they would be heavier than all the sands [on the shores] of the oceans. That is why I spoke (very rashly/without thinking clearly) [about the day that I was born].
4 Aserni mag Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechwoyo denda, ringra opongʼ gi kwiri marach ma asernigo okelo; kendo masiche mag Nyasaye olwora koni gi koni.
[It is as though] Almighty [God] has shot me with arrows. [It is as though] those arrows had poison on their tips, and that poison has gone into my spirit. The things that God has done to me have terrified me.
5 Donge punda nyalo mana ywak ka oonge lum mocham, kata rwath nyalo ywak kaonge chiemo?
Just like a wild donkey does not [complain by] braying when it has plenty of grass to eat, and an ox does not [complain by] bellowing when it has food to eat [MET], [I would not complain if you were really helping/comforting me].
6 Chiemo maboth bende inyalo cham ka ok oketie chumbi, koso mit mane miyudo ei nyai tongʼ marachar?
People complain [RHQ] when they must eat food which has no salt or other tasteless food [MET], [and that is what your words are like, Eliphaz].
7 Ok ahero chiemo ma kamago; nimar chiemo ma kamago miya tuo.
Just like I do not want to eat food [like that], and I loathe/detests that kind of food [MET], [I do not appreciate what you have said to me].
8 “Kuom mano, mad ayud gima akwayo, mad Nyasaye chiwna gima ageno yudo,
“I wish that God would do for me what I have requested from him [DOU].
9 kendo oyie otoya matindo tindo mi onega chuth.
I wish that he would crush me [and let me die]. I wish that he would reach out his hand and take away my life.
10 Kotimona kamano eka chunya noyud hoch, anabed gi kwe, kata obedo ni an gi rem malit; nikech ok asedagi weche mag Ngʼama Ler.
If he would do that, I would be comforted by knowing that in spite of the great pain that I have suffered, I have always obeyed what [God, ] the Holy One, has commanded.
11 “Teko mane ma an-go ma dimi pod abed gi geno? Ber mane ma pod ni e nyima madimi abed mos?
But now I do not have [RHQ] enough strength to endure all these things. And since I have nothing [to hope for] in (the future/this life), it is difficult for me to be patient now [RHQ].
12 An gi teko machal gi teko kidi koso? Bende ringra olos gi nyinyo?
I am not [RHQ] strong like rocks are, and my body is not made of bronze.
13 Bende an gi teko mar konyora kenda ka koro giga duto osegol kuoma?
So I am not able to help myself, and [it seems that] there is no one to rescue me.”
14 “E kinde ma ngʼato nigi chandruok kama, to osiepne onego okeche, kata obedo ni oseweyo luoro Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
“When a man has many troubles, his friends should be kind to him, even if he stops revering Almighty [God].
15 Owetena to oselokore joma ok nyal gen, mana ka aore matindo ma pigegi ok siki kata ka oula mogingore ndalo koth,
But [you, ] my friends, are not dependable. You are like streams: They spill over their banks [in the spring]
16 to pe manie wi gode lokore oula kendo mogingore gi pi mamol,
when [the melting] ice and snow make those streams overflow,
17 e kinde oro to gichungʼ ma ok ringi, kendo lal nono e yoregi kinde ma piny liet.
but when the dry season comes, there is no water flowing [in those streams], and the channels dry up.
18 Jowuoth baro weyo yoregi ma giluwo; gidhi nyaka piny motwo mi githo kuno.
[The caravans of merchants] turn off the path [to search for some water], but there is no water, so they die [in the desert].
19 Jowuoth moa Tema gi johala moa Sheba manyo aore mondo oyudie pi.
The men in those caravans search [for some water] because they are sure that they will find some.
20 Gibiro ka gin gi geno mar yudo pi, to ka gichopo kanyo to giyudo ni pi ma gineno onge, mi chunygi nyosre.
But they do not find any, so they are very disappointed.
21 Koro in bende iselokori ngʼama ok nyal konyo; kineno gimoro mabwogo ji to luoro maki.
Similarly, you friends have not helped me at all! You have seen that terrible things have happened to me, and you are afraid [that God might do similar things to you].
22 Bende asekwayoue mondo umiyae kony moro mugolo kuom mwandu mondo akonyrago,
[After I lost all my wealth, ] did I ask any of you for money? [RHQ] Did I plead with any of you to spend some of your money to help me [RHQ]?
23 kata mondo uresa e lwet wasika, kata resa e lwet jo-mahundu?
Have I asked any of you to rescue me from my enemies [RHQ]? Have I asked you to save me from those who (oppressed me/treated me badly) [RHQ]? [No!]”
24 “Puonja, eka analingʼ, nyisa kama asedhie marach.
“Answer me [now, and then] I will be quiet; tell me what wrong things I have done!
25 Mano kaka weche madier lit kaka kudho! To weche mihango mathothgo, to nyiso angʼo?
When people speak what is true, that will not hurt the person who hears it, but what you say, criticizing me, [is not true, so your saying it] proves nothing [RHQ]!
26 Dibed ni iwuoyo kamano mondo omi iket weche ma awacho kare kendo mondo ikaw weche ngʼama neno malit ka gima nono?
I am a man who has nothing to hope for, but you try to correct me, and you think what I say is nothing but wind [RHQ]!
27 Ichalo ngʼama nyalo goyo ombulu mar nego nyathi kich kendo inyalo ndhogo kata mana osiepeni.
You do not sympathize with me at all [for all that I am suffering]. [You are heartless!] You would even gamble to see who gets an orphan [as a prize]!
28 “To koro yie ichomie wangʼi kuoma kendo iranga maber iparo ni anyalo wuondi e wangʼi?
Please look at me! I will not [RHQ] lie to you.
29 Lokri, iwe timo ne ji marach; par maber kendo, nikech an ngʼat makare.
Stop [saying that I have sinned, and] stop criticizing me unjustly! You should realize that I have not done things that are wrong.
30 Bende nitie gimoro amora marach ma lewa osewacho? Donge an gi rieko mar ngʼeyo gima ok owinjore?
Do you think that I am lying? No, I am not lying, because I know what is right and what is wrong [RHQ].”
