Job 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
Eka Elihu nowacho kama:
2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?
“Bende iparo ni itimo gima ber kiwacho ni, ‘In kare e nyim Nyasaye?’
3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?
To e iyeno bende ipenjo ni, ‘Mano to konya gangʼo, koso ohala mane ma ayudo ka ok atimo richo?’
4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
“Daher mondo adwoki in kaachiel gi osiepenigo.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
Ngʼiuru polo malo mondo unee boche polo kaka ni kuma bor.
6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
Ka umedo timo richo, to obadhe gangʼo? Kata ka richou ngʼeny to mano nyalo timone angʼo?
7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Ka un joma kare to bedou makare miye angʼo, koso en angʼo muchiwone?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.
Timbeu maricho hinyo mana dhano machal kodu, kendo timbeu makare bedo konyruok mana ne yawuot ji.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
“Ji ywak malit nikech tingʼ mapek moyie kuomgi; giywak mana ni mondo ogolgi e bwo loch joma thirogi.
10 And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
To onge ngʼato kuomgi mawachoe ni, ‘Nyasaye mane ochweya nikanye, Nyasaye mamiyo ji wende gotieno,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
mapuonjowa gik mathoth moloyo kaka opuonjo le manie piny kendo mamiyo wabedo mariek moloyo winy mafuyo e kor polo?’
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
Ok odwok ji ka giywakne nikech wich teko mar joricho.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
Adier, Nyasaye ok chik ite ne ywakgi maonge tiendgi Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok dewgi.
14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect 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 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
Bende imedo wacho ni kata ji ok okum gi mirimbe mager kendo kata mana richo ma ji timo ok obadhe.
16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
Omiyo Ayub wuoyo ka ngʼama ofuwo; maonge rieko.”
