Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:
Eka Elihu nowacho kama:
2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',
“Bende iparo ni itimo gima ber kiwacho ni, ‘In kare e nyim Nyasaye?’
3 That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto 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 give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.
“Daher mondo adwoki in kaachiel gi osiepenigo.
5 Look unto 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 hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?
Ka umedo timo richo, to obadhe gangʼo? Kata ka richou ngʼeny to mano nyalo timone angʼo?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?
Ka un joma kare to bedou makare miye angʼo, koso en angʼo muchiwone?
8 Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a 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 cry out; they cry for help by reason 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 saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth 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 maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?'
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 giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Ok odwok ji ka giywakne nikech wich teko mar joricho.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Adier, Nyasaye ok chik ite ne ywakgi maonge tiendgi Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok dewgi.
14 Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him — the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou 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 And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?
Bende imedo wacho ni kata ji ok okum gi mirimbe mager kendo kata mana richo ma ji timo ok obadhe.
16 But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Omiyo Ayub wuoyo ka ngʼama ofuwo; maonge rieko.”
