Job 24
1 “Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see 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 There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
“Mwet uh mokle masrol lalos in akyokye acn lalos uh; Ac pisre sheep uh in akyokye un sheep natulos sifacna.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
Elos pisrala donkey nutin tulik mukaimtal uh, Ac sruokya ox nutin mutan katinmas uh, na soano elan molela soemoul lal.
4 They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Elos ikol tuh mwet sukasrup in tia ku in eis suwohs lalos, Ac oru tuh mwet enenu in kaing ac wikla.
5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
“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 cut their food in the field. 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 lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
Ke fong uh elos mihsrisr, mweyen wangin ma elos in kateya; Elos koflufol na motul.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
Elos ac wohlak na ke af ma kahkla fineol uh me, Ac lokeni oan sisken eot uh in lusrungulosyak.
9 There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of 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 so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
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 within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
Elos fuleya olive in orek oil, ac grape in orek wain, A elos ac malu na.
12 From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
Mwet kinet ac mwet apkuran in misa in siti uh elos wowoyak nu sin God, Tusruktu God El tiana porongo pre lalos.
13 “These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in its 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 with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
Ke tafun lotu uh, mwet akmas el illa In uniya mwet sukasrup uh, Ac ke fong uh, el som pisrapasr.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.
Sie mwet kosro el ac soano in tari ekela; El ac afinya mutal, mwet uh in tia akilenul.
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the 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 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
Elos sangeng ke kalem lun len uh, A lohsr uh tiana aksangengyalos.”
18 “They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the 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 will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be 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 He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
Ma inge sikyak nu sel mweyen el akkeokye katinmas, Ac tia kulang nu sin mutan su wangin tulik natu.
22 Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
Ke ku lun God, El kunausla mwet funmwet; God El fin mukuila, mwet koluk sac ac misa.
23 God gives them security, and they rest in it. 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 are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears 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 If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth 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?”
