Job 24
1 “For this reason from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
“Efu ku God El tia oakiya sie pacl in nununku? Efu ku mwet ma oaru in oru lungse lal tiana liye Elan kai mwet koluk uh?
2 They reach the borders, They have taken a drove away violently, Indeed, they do evil.
“Mwet uh mokle masrol lalos in akyokye acn lalos uh; Ac pisre sheep uh in akyokye un sheep natulos sifacna.
3 They lead away the donkey of the fatherless, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,
Elos pisrala donkey nutin tulik mukaimtal uh, Ac sruokya ox nutin mutan katinmas uh, na soano elan molela soemoul lal.
4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
Elos ikol tuh mwet sukasrup in tia ku in eis suwohs lalos, Ac oru tuh mwet enenu in kaing ac wikla.
5 Behold, wild donkeys in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself—food for young ones.
“Ouinge mwet sukasrup elos suk mwe mongo nalos yen mwesis Oana donkey inima uh; Wangin acn elos ku in konauk mongo nun tulik natulos we.
6 They reap his provender in a field, And they glean the vineyard of the wicked.
Elos enenu in kosrani ke ima su tia ma lalos, Ac sifani grape ke ima lun mwet koluk.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
Ke fong uh elos mihsrisr, mweyen wangin ma elos in kateya; Elos koflufol na motul.
8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge—have embraced a rock.
Elos ac wohlak na ke af ma kahkla fineol uh me, Ac lokeni oan sisken eot uh in lusrungulosyak.
9 They take away violently The orphan from the breast, And they lay a pledge on the poor.
“Mwet koluk elos tulakunla tulik mukul fusr ma misa papa tuma liki nina kia, tuh elos in mwet foko lalos, Ac eis tulik nutin sie mwet sukasrup in akfalye soemoul lal.
10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry—have taken away a sheaf.
A mwet sukasrup elos ac illa ac wangin nuknuk in karingin manolos; Elos ac masrinsral na ke elos telani fokin wheat uh.
11 They make oil between their walls, They have trodden winepresses, and thirst.
Elos fuleya olive in orek oil, ac grape in orek wain, A elos ac malu na.
12 Men groan because of enmity, And the soul of pierced ones cries, And God does not give praise.
Mwet kinet ac mwet apkuran in misa in siti uh elos wowoyak nu sin God, Tusruktu God El tiana porongo pre lalos.
13 They have been those rebelling against light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abided in His paths.
“Oasr kutu mwet koluk ma kwase kalem uh; Elos nikin kalmeya, ac tia ke fahsr nu yen kalem uh kololos nu we.
14 The murderer rises at the light, He slays the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
Ke tafun lotu uh, mwet akmas el illa In uniya mwet sukasrup uh, Ac ke fong uh, el som pisrapasr.
15 And the eye of an adulterer Has observed the twilight, Saying, No eye beholds me. And he puts the face in secret.
Sie mwet kosro el ac soano in tari ekela; El ac afinya mutal, mwet uh in tia akilenul.
16 He has dug in the darkness—houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.
Ke fong uh mwet pisrapasr elos ac sifacna utyak nu in lohm uh, A ke lenelik elos ac wikla ac tia lungse muta ke kalem uh.
17 When together, morning [is] death-shade to them, When he discerns the terrors of death-shade.
Elos sangeng ke kalem lun len uh, A lohsr uh tiana aksangengyalos.”
18 He [is] light on the face of the waters, Their portion is vilified in the earth, He does not turn the way of vineyards.
“Sie mwet koluk ac fah pokyukla ke sronot uh, Ac acn sel fah selngawiyuki sin God; El ac tia sifil som orekma ke ima in grape lal uh.
Oana ke snow uh ac wanginla ke pacl fol ac ke pacl wangin af uh, Ouinge sie mwet koluk ac fah wanginla liki facl sin mwet moul uh. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb forgets him, The worm sweetens [on] him, He is remembered no more, And wickedness is broken as a tree.
Finne nina kial uh, ac tia pac esamul; Wet uh ac kangulla, ac el musalla oana soko sak ma ikori.
21 Treating evil the barren [who] does not bear, And he does no good [to] the widow,
Ma inge sikyak nu sel mweyen el akkeokye katinmas, Ac tia kulang nu sin mutan su wangin tulik natu.
22 And [God] has drawn the mighty by His power, He rises, and none believes in life.
Ke ku lun God, El kunausla mwet funmwet; God El fin mukuila, mwet koluk sac ac misa.
23 He gives to him confidence, and he is supported, And His eyes [are] on their ways.
God El ku pac in oru tuh mwet sac in tia sun ongoiya, Tusruktu El ac taranna ma el oru pacl nukewa.
24 They were high [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. They are shut up as all [others], And cut off as the head of an ear of grain.
Mwet koluk se ku in sun wo ouiya ke kitin pacl, Na el ac uli oana soko mah wangin sripa, Oana sie sripin mahsrik ma pakpuki.
25 And if not now, who proves me a liar, And makes my word of nothing?”
Ya oasr mwet se ku in lafwekin mu tia ouinge? Oasr mwet ku in orek loh ac fahk mu kas luk inge tia pwaye?”
