Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered, and said,
Eka Elihu nowacho kama:
2 What is this thou think in judgment? Who are thou that thou said, I am righteousness before the Lord?
“Bende iparo ni itimo gima ber kiwacho ni, ‘In kare e nyim Nyasaye?’
3 That thou said, What advantage will it be to thee? And, What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned?
To e iyeno bende ipenjo ni, ‘Mano to konya gangʼo, koso ohala mane ma ayudo ka ok atimo richo?’
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
“Daher mondo adwoki in kaachiel gi osiepenigo.
5 Look to the heavens, and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
Ngʼiuru polo malo mondo unee boche polo kaka ni kuma bor.
6 If thou have sinned, what do thou effect against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what do thou to him?
Ka umedo timo richo, to obadhe gangʼo? Kata ka richou ngʼeny to mano nyalo timone angʼo?
7 If thou be righteous, what do thou give him? Or what does he receive of thy hand?
Ka un joma kare to bedou makare miye angʼo, koso en angʼo muchiwone?
8 Thy wickedness is a man as thou are, and thy righteousness is a son of man.
Timbeu maricho hinyo mana dhano machal kodu, kendo timbeu makare bedo konyruok mana ne yawuot ji.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
“Ji ywak malit nikech tingʼ mapek moyie kuomgi; giywak mana ni mondo ogolgi e bwo loch joma thirogi.
10 But none says, Where is God my maker who gives songs in the night,
To onge ngʼato kuomgi mawachoe ni, ‘Nyasaye mane ochweya nikanye, Nyasaye mamiyo ji wende gotieno,
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
mapuonjowa gik mathoth moloyo kaka opuonjo le manie piny kendo mamiyo wabedo mariek moloyo winy mafuyo e kor polo?’
12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Ok odwok ji ka giywakne nikech wich teko mar joricho.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, nor will the Almighty regard it.
Adier, Nyasaye ok chik ite ne ywakgi maonge tiendgi Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok dewgi.
14 How much less when thou say thou do not behold him. The case is before him, and thou wait for him!
Iwacho ni Nyasaye ok winj wecheni ka iwacho ni ok inene, kata obedo ni isetero kwayoni e nyime, kendo pod irite mondo odwoki.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he greatly regard folly,
Bende imedo wacho ni kata ji ok okum gi mirimbe mager kendo kata mana richo ma ji timo ok obadhe.
16 so Job opens his mouth in vanity. He multiplies words without knowledge.
Omiyo Ayub wuoyo ka ngʼama ofuwo; maonge rieko.”
