Job 24
1 Why are not times [of punishment] treasured up by the Almighty, and why do his adorers not see his days [of retribution]?
“Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok oketo odiechieng ngʼado bura mondo ongʼere? Angʼo momiyo joma ongʼeyo geno odiechiengno to ok ginyal nene?
2 [The wicked] remove landmarks: they rob flocks, and feed them.
Ji ma timbegi richo ketho kiewo; kendo gikwayo jamni ma gisekwalo.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take in pledge the widow's ox.
Gikwalo punda nyathi kich kendo gikawo rwadh pur achiel kende mar dhako ma chwore otho ka gir singo.
4 They chase the needy out of the highway: altogether hide themselves the poor of the earth.
Gimono jochan yudo adiera kendo gimiyo jomodhier ringo pondo.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness go they forth to their work, rising betimes after [their] prey: the desert yieldeth food for them and for their young men.
Joma odhier tiyo matek kamanyo chiemo e thim, mana ka punda; nikech onge kama ginyalo yudoe chiemo ni nyithindgi.
6 In the field they reap their food; and in the vineyard of the wicked they gather the fruit.
Gichoko chiemb jamni kendo gihulo mzabibu e puothe joricho.
7 They cause [the poor] to spend the night naked, without clothing and without any covering in the cold.
Ginindo duk gotieno nikech gionge lewni; gionge gimoro amora ma ginyalo umorego ka koyo ngʼich.
8 Through the sweeping rain of the mountains are they made wet, and for want of a shelter do they embrace the rock.
Kodh ajiki mag gode olwoko dendgi kendo gitwere e lwendni nikech gionge kuonde dak.
9 The others pluck from the breast the fatherless, and the garment of the poor they take in pledge.
Nyathi maonge gi wuon iyudho oko e thuno; nyathi jadhier ma pod kwar imako kar gowi.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and from the hungry they take away the sheaf:
Giwuotho duk e gwengʼ nikech gionge lewni; gitingʼo ne ji chiemo to gin to kech negogi.
11 Within their walls do they make oil, they tread their wine-presses, and suffer thirst.
Ji chunogi gitoyo zeituni kuonde ma gin ema gikunyo, kendo gibiyo olemb mzabibu to gin riyo negogi.
12 Out of a populous city is groaning heard, and the soul of the deadly wounded crieth out: yet God regardeth it not as an offence.
Chur mar joma tho ochomo polo koa e dala maduongʼ kendo chunje joma ohinyore ywagore ka dwaro kony, to Nyasaye ok okum joma hinyogi.
13 Yon men are of those that rebel against the light: they know not its ways, nor abide in its paths.
“Nitie jomoko mangʼanyo ne ler, ma ok ongʼeyo yore ler, kata ma ok dwar ler.
14 With the earliest light riseth the murderer, he slayeth the poor and needy, and in the night he becometh like the thief.
Ka ler mar odiechiengʼ rumo aruma nii, to janek aa malo kendo onego jochan gi jodhier; otimo kamano gotieno kolidho ka jakuo.
15 And the eye of the adulterer watcheth for the twilight, saying, No eye will see me; and placeth a covering on his face.
Wangʼ jachode bende rito mondo piny oimre; oparo e chunye niya, ‘Onge ngʼat ma biro nena,’ kendo opando wangʼe mondo kik ngʼeye.
16 They break into houses in the dark, in the daytime they lock themselves in: they know not the light.
Jokuo turo udi gotieno, to kochopo odiechiengʼ to gipondo; nimar ok gidwar neno ler.
17 For to all of these alike is the morning as the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.
Giduto mudho mandiwa chalnegi okinyi; giloso osiep gi masiche mayudore e mudho mandiwa.
18 Swift are such men [to flee] on the face of the water; accursed is their field on the land; none of them turneth himself to the way, of the vineyards.
“To kata kamano gichalo buoyo moyienyo ewi pi malo; lopegi okwongʼ, maonge ngʼama rawo e puothegi mag mzabibu mi yudie olemo.
19 Drought and heat speedily consume the snow-waters: so doth the grave those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Joricho lal nono e piny ma ji odakie, mana kaka pe leny ka chiengʼ rieny e ndalo oro. (Sheol h7585)
20 The mother that bore such a one will forget him; the worm will feed sweetly on him; he will be no more remembered; and like a tree will wickedness be broken.
Onge ngʼama paro joricho kendo wich wil kodgi; mi kudni chamgi kendo itiekogi chuth.
21 He ill-treateth the barren that heareth not; and to the widow he acteth not well.
Gisando mon ma chwogi otho kendo ok gikech mon maonge nyithindo.
22 But he also draweth down the mighty with his power: he riseth up, no one is sure of life.
To Nyasaye tieko joma roteke gi tekone; kata obedo ni gin joma niginyalo to gionge gi ratiro ni gibiro bedo mangima.
23 To such [God] granteth to be in safety, that he may find support; and His eyes are upon their ways.
Onyalo weyogi mi gipar ni gin gi kwe, to wangʼe osiko rangogi kinde duto.
24 They are exalted; in but a little while they are no more; and they are brought down low: like all others are they gathered in, and like the top of the ear of corn are they cut off.
Gineno maber kuom kinde matin kende to bangʼe gilal nono kadiemo wangʼ, kendo ichokogi mi giner ka buya mopudhi; kendo ingʼadogi oko mana kaka ingʼado wiye cham.
25 But if it be not so, who will prove me a liar, and render nought my word?
“Ka gik ma awachogo miriambo, to en ngʼa manyalo nyiso maler ni ariambo, ma dimi wechega bed gik manono?”
