Job 16
1 Then Job answered and said,
Eka Ayub nodwoko ni,
2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are all of you all.
“Asewinjo weche machal kamago mathoth; un duto un johocho ma chunygi odhier mogik!
3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldens you that you answer?
Wecheu moywarego biro rumo karangʼo? Koso utuo, momiyo usiko gi mino wach?
4 I also could speak as all of you do: if your soul were in my soul's position, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine 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 moving of my lips should subside your grief.
To dhoga dine ojiwou; kendo hoch mawuok e dhoga dine odwogo chunyu.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not subsided: 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: you have made desolate all my company.
Kuom adier, yaye Nyasaye, isedwoka piny mogik, isetieko joga duto pep.
8 And you have filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.
Isemaka kaka jasiki, mi adhero ma adongʼ choke lilo, kendo mano miyo ji paro ni an jasiki.
9 He tears me in his wrath, who hates me: he gnashes upon me with his teeth; mine enemy 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 have gathered themselves together against me.
Ji ngʼamo dhogi ka gijara; Githalo lemba ka gisin koda, kendo ginur kuoma giduto ka giriwona.
11 God has delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over 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, but he has broken me asunder: he has also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and 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 compass me round about, he cleaves my reins asunder, 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 defiled my horn in the dust.
“Asetwangʼo pien gugru mi arwako kendo asebuko lela wangʼa gi buru.
16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Ywak osemiyo wangʼa olokore makwar, kendo wangʼa osiko neno mana mudho;
17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
to lwetena pok otimo tim mahundu kata dichiel kendo alamo Nyasaye gi chuny maler.
18 O earth, cover not you my blood, and let my cry have no place.
“Yaye lowo, kik iyie iyik remba; mad ywak ma aywakgo kik rum!
19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
Kata mana sani ngʼat matimo nenda maber ni e polo, ngʼat mabiro chungʼ ka chwaka ni malo.
20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye pours out tears unto God.
Osiepena jara to pi wangʼa chwer ka akwayo Nyasaye mondo odwok lamona;
21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbour!
okwayo Nyasaye kolamo kar ngʼama chielo mana kaka ngʼato nyalo kwechone osiepne.
22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
“Adongʼ gi higni matin nono, bangʼe to abiro dhi kama ok duogie.
