Job 16
1 Then Job answered, and said,
Eka Ayub nodwoko ni,
2 I have heard many such things. Miserable comforters are ye all.
“Asewinjo weche machal kamago mathoth; un duto un johocho ma chunygi odhier mogik!
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes thee that thou answer?
Wecheu moywarego biro rumo karangʼo? Koso utuo, momiyo usiko gi mino wach?
4 I also could speak as ye do, if your soul were in my soul's stead. I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.
Ka dabed ni un ema uwinjo marach kaka awinjoni, to an bende anyalo wuoyo mana kaka uwuoyono; dikoro arogonu gi weche ma ok rum kendo dikoro akinonu wiya.
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
To dhoga dine ojiwou; kendo hoch mawuok e dhoga dine odwogo chunyu.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged, and though I forbear, what am I eased?
“To kata awuo manade, to rem ma an-go medore ameda; to kata ka aweyo wuoyo to bende ok orum.
7 But now he has made me weary. Thou have made desolate all my company.
Kuom adier, yaye Nyasaye, isedwoka piny mogik, isetieko joga duto pep.
8 And thou have laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me. And my leanness rises up against me; it testifies to my face.
Isemaka kaka jasiki, mi adhero ma adongʼ choke lilo, kendo mano miyo ji paro ni an jasiki.
9 He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me. He has gnashed upon me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes upon me.
Nyasaye ok dwara omiyo osegoyo denda gi tuoche magalagala ka en gi mirima kendo kokayona lake, ka wasika to juolona wangʼ-gi ka gisin koda.
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth. They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
Ji ngʼamo dhogi ka gijara; Githalo lemba ka gisin koda, kendo ginur kuoma giduto ka giriwona.
11 God delivers me to the perverse, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
Nyasaye osejwangʼa e lwet joma timbegi richo adier Nyasaye osewita e lwet jo-mahundu.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yea, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his mark.
Gik moko duto ne dhina maber, to koro osetieka; mi omaka gi ngʼuta kendo otura matindo tindo. Osechoma tir;
13 His archers encompass me round about. He splits my reins apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall upon the ground.
kendo aserni mage olwora koni gi koni. Gisechwoya mi iya oo piny e lowo, to eka pod ok okecha.
14 He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.
Ohinyo denda kinde ka kinde; kendo omonja ka jalweny ma chunye okethore.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
“Asetwangʼo pien gugru mi arwako kendo asebuko lela wangʼa gi buru.
16 My face is red with weeping, and the shadow of death is on my eyelids,
Ywak osemiyo wangʼa olokore makwar, kendo wangʼa osiko neno mana mudho;
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
to lwetena pok otimo tim mahundu kata dichiel kendo alamo Nyasaye gi chuny maler.
18 O earth, do not cover thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting place.
“Yaye lowo, kik iyie iyik remba; mad ywak ma aywakgo kik rum!
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who vouches for me is on high.
Kata mana sani ngʼat matimo nenda maber ni e polo, ngʼat mabiro chungʼ ka chwaka ni malo.
20 My friends scoff at me. My eye pours out tears to God
Osiepena jara to pi wangʼa chwer ka akwayo Nyasaye mondo odwok lamona;
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbor!
okwayo Nyasaye kolamo kar ngʼama chielo mana kaka ngʼato nyalo kwechone osiepne.
22 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way where I shall not return.
“Adongʼ gi higni matin nono, bangʼe to abiro dhi kama ok duogie.
