Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:
Eka Elihu nowacho kama:
2 Dost thou then think this to be right? Thou hast said, “I am more righteous than God.”
“Bende iparo ni itimo gima ber kiwacho ni, ‘In kare e nyim Nyasaye?’
3 For thou askest, “What advantage have I? What have I gained, 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 answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
“Daher mondo adwoki in kaachiel gi osiepenigo.
5 Look up to the heavens, and see! And behold the clouds, which are high above thee!
Ngʼiuru polo malo mondo unee boche polo kaka ni kuma bor.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou to him?
Ka umedo timo richo, to obadhe gangʼo? Kata ka richou ngʼeny to mano nyalo timone angʼo?
7 If thou art righteous, what dost thou give him? Or what receiveth he at thy hand?
Ka un joma kare to bedou makare miye angʼo, koso en angʼo muchiwone?
8 Thy wickedness injureth only a man like thyself, And thy righteousness profiteth only a son of man.
Timbeu maricho hinyo mana dhano machal kodu, kendo timbeu makare bedo konyruok mana ne yawuot ji.
9 The oppressed cry out on account of the multitude of wrongs; They cry aloud on account 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 birds 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 aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.
Ok odwok ji ka giywakne nikech wich teko mar joricho.
13 For God will not hear the vain supplication, Nor will the Almighty regard it;
Adier, Nyasaye ok chik ite ne ywakgi maonge tiendgi Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok dewgi.
14 Much less when thou sayest thou canst not see him: Justice is with him, —only 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 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Nor taken strict note of transgression,
Bende imedo wacho ni kata ji ok okum gi mirimbe mager kendo kata mana richo ma ji timo ok obadhe.
16 Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.
Omiyo Ayub wuoyo ka ngʼama ofuwo; maonge rieko.”
