Job 10
1 “I am tired of living. And I will not be silent and stop saying what I am complaining about. Instead, being very unhappy, I will speak [IDM].
“Aol gi ngima; mano emomiyo ok abi lingʼ ma ok awuoyo, to abiro wacho lit duto manie chunya.
2 I will say to God, ‘Do not say that I must be punished; instead, tell me what wrong you are saying that I have done.
Abiro wachone Nyasaye niya: Kik ikuma, to nyisa rachna momiyo ikwana kaka jaketho.
3 Does it seem to be good for you to oppress me, to abandon me, whom you created, and instead, to help wicked people to do the things that they plan to do?
Nyalo bedo ni iwinjo maber ka ahinyora; kendo ka ikwedo tich lweti, to timbe joricho to mori?
4 Do you understand things the way that we humans do?
Kara in bende in gi wangʼ mar ringruok? Koso in bende ineno mana kaka dhano neno?
5 (Do you live for only a few years, like we do?/You certainly do not live for only a few years, like we do.) [RHQ]
Kara in bende ndaloni nok ka ndalo dhano, koso higni magi chalo gi mag dhano,
6 So, why do you [RHQ] continue to search for my faults? Why do you hunt for my sins?
momiyo imanyo timbena maricho kendo isiko kimanyo richo moro amora ma an-go,
7 You know that I am not guilty, and that no one can rescue me from your power [MTY].
kata obedo ni ingʼeyo maber ni aonge ketho kendo ni onge ngʼama nyalo resa e lweti?
8 “'With your hands you created me and shaped/formed my body; but now you are [deciding that you should not have done that, and you are] destroying me.
“Lweti ema nochweya. Ibiro lokori koda kendo mondo itieka?
9 Do not forget that you made me from [a piece of] clay; are you going to cause me to become dirt again [RHQ]?
Parie ni ne ichweya koa kuom lowo. Koro sani, diduoka kendo e lowo adier?
10 You certainly [RHQ] directed/controlled it when I was conceived, and you formed me inside my mother’s womb [MET].
Donge ne iola oko ka chak kendo ne ipuoya mi apoto ka mo,
11 You fastened my bones together with sinews, and [then] you covered them with flesh inside my skin.
ne ichweyo ringra gi choke kod leche mi iumo chokena gi ringʼo kod pien?
12 You have caused me to be alive, and you have faithfully loved me, and you have carefully (preserved me/kept me alive).
Ne imiya ngima kendo ne itimona ngʼwono, kendo isebedo ka irito chunya kuom duongʼni maler.
13 “'But you (kept secret/did not reveal) what [you were planning to do to me]; I am certain that you were planning [to do] these [things to me].
“To kata kamano, koro angʼeyo ni gik mane ni e pachi e magi:
14 You were watching to see if I would sin, in order that [if I sinned, ] you would refuse to forgive me.
Isebedo ka ingʼiya mondo ineane ka atimo richo, to ok iseweya ma ok ikuma.
15 If I am a wicked man, I hope/wish that terrible things will happen to me. But even if I am righteous, I still must bow my head [and feel ashamed], because I am very disgraced and feel miserable.
Okwongʼa, an ngʼat ma timbene mono! To kata ka aonge ketho, to pod ok anyal bedo thuolo, nimar wichkuot ma an-go osemiyo alal ei masichena.
16 And if I am proud, you hunt me like [SIM] a lion hunts [for some animal to kill], and you act powerfully to injure me.
To kata katemo mondo abed thuolo to idwara mana ka sibuor, kendo isiko mana kiloya gi tekoni maduongʼ.
17 You constantly find more witnesses [to testify that I have done what is wrong], and you continually become more angry/perturbed with me. [It is as though] you are always bringing new troops to attack me.
Ikelo joneno manyien mondo okweda kendo imedo bedo mager koda; jolweny magi monja mana ka apaka magingore.
18 “'God, why did you allow me to be born? I wish/desire that I had died before anyone [SYN] saw me.
“Angʼo momiyo ne igola ei minwa? Kara mad ne atho kapok wangʼ moro amora onena.
19 [I consider that] it would have been better if I had been carried directly from my mother’s womb to the grave than for me to live.
Mad ne kik nywola, ka ok kamano to ne onego nywola ka asetho kendo chom koda bur tir!
20 [I think that] [RHQ] there are only a few days for me to remain alive; so (allow me to be alone/stop attacking me), in order that I may be a little cheerful
Donge ngimana modongʼ matin-ni chiegni rumo? Yie iweya mondo abedie gi yweyo matin,
21 before I go to the place from which I will never return, where it is always gloomy and very dark [DOU],
kapok adhi kuma ji ok dhiye miduogi, ma en piny motimo mudho gi tipo molil ti,
22 a place of darkness and dark shadows, where [everything] is confused/disordered, where [even a small amount of] light there is like darkness (OR, there is no light, only darkness).’”
en piny ma otimo mudho mandiwa, kama kata ler chaloe mudho.”
