< Job 27 >

1 And Job again took up his parable, and said:
Ayub nochako wuoyo kendo mowacho niya,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;
“Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego mosetamore ngʼadona bura makare, kendo mosemiyo chunya obedo malit,
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
bende asingora ni kapod angima kendo kapod Nyasaye omiya muya ma ayweyo,
4 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;
to dhoga ok nowach gimoro marach, kendo lewa ok nowach miriambo.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
Ok abi yie ngangʼ ni un kare; ok anasiki mana ka awacho ni aonge ketho nyaka atho.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Abiro siko mana ka awacho ni an kare ndalona duto; kendo pacha ler e wachni e ndalo duto.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
“Mad wasika duto mapiem koda, yud kum mana ka joricho!
8 For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
Koso geno mane ma ngʼama ok ongʼeyo Nyasaye dibedgo ka ongʼad ndalone, kendo ka Nyasaye okawo ngimane?
9 Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
Bende Nyasaye chiko ite ne ywakne ka masira obirone?
10 Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
Bende onyalo bedo gi mor kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego? Bende doywagne Nyasaye seche duto?
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
“Abiro puonji kaka teko Nyasaye chalo; ok abi pandoni yore mag Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
Un duto ngʼato ka ngʼato useneno ma gi wangʼu koro weche manonogi to uwacho nangʼo?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
“Chandruok ma Nyasaye ochano ne ngʼama timo timbe mahundu, kendo girkeni mar ngʼama timo timbe marichogo yudo koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema:
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.
Kata ne bed ni nyithinde ngʼeny manade, to ligangla ema ochomogi; kendo nyithinde ok noyud chiemo moromogi nyaka chiengʼ.
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
Tuo noneg joma otony e lweny, kendo mon ma chwogi otho ma giweyo ok noywag-gi.
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
Kata jaricho chok fedha mangʼeny manade, kod lewni bende mangʼeny,
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
to gik mochokogo joma kare ema biro rwako, kendo joma onge ketho nopogre mwanduge mag fedha.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
Ot mogero yomyom ka mbuyi mar otiengʼ, kata ka abila ma jarito ogero.
19 He lieth down rich, but there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
Onindo ka en gi mwandu, to ochiewo gi lwete nono; ka wangʼe yawore nii to mwandune duto oserumo.
20 Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Masiche nomakgi ka ohula motuch apoya; kendo yamb otieno nokegi mabor.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
Yamb ugwe tingʼe midhi kode, mi olal nono; oywere mi ogole kare.
22 Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
Enogo kuomgi koko matek ma ok oweyonigi thuolo, kolawogi matek gi tekone maduongʼ.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Yamo nokudh kuomgi ka giringo kendo tekone malich nomi kihondko makgi.”
