Job 24
1 “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?
Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do those who know him not see his days?
2 “Mwet uh mokle masrol lalos in akyokye acn lalos uh; Ac pisre sheep uh in akyokye un sheep natulos sifacna.
There are men who remove the landmarks. They take away flocks violently, and feed them.
3 Elos pisrala donkey nutin tulik mukaimtal uh, Ac sruokya ox nutin mutan katinmas uh, na soano elan molela soemoul lal.
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless. They take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 Elos ikol tuh mwet sukasrup in tia ku in eis suwohs lalos, Ac oru tuh mwet enenu in kaing ac wikla.
They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 “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.
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their sons.
6 Elos enenu in kosrani ke ima su tia ma lalos, Ac sifani grape ke ima lun mwet koluk.
They cut their provender in the field, and they glean the vintage of the wicked.
7 Ke fong uh elos mihsrisr, mweyen wangin ma elos in kateya; Elos koflufol na motul.
They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
8 Elos ac wohlak na ke af ma kahkla fineol uh me, Ac lokeni oan sisken eot uh in lusrungulosyak.
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 “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.
There are men who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
10 A mwet sukasrup elos ac illa ac wangin nuknuk in karingin manolos; Elos ac masrinsral na ke elos telani fokin wheat uh.
so that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves.
11 Elos fuleya olive in orek oil, ac grape in orek wain, A elos ac malu na.
They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Mwet kinet ac mwet apkuran in misa in siti uh elos wowoyak nu sin God, Tusruktu God El tiana porongo pre lalos.
From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded cries out. Yet God does not regard the folly.
13 “Oasr kutu mwet koluk ma kwase kalem uh; Elos nikin kalmeya, ac tia ke fahsr nu yen kalem uh kololos nu we.
These are of those who rebel against the light. They do not know the ways of it, nor abide in the paths of it.
14 Ke tafun lotu uh, mwet akmas el illa In uniya mwet sukasrup uh, Ac ke fong uh, el som pisrapasr.
The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. And in the night he is as a thief.
15 Sie mwet kosro el ac soano in tari ekela; El ac afinya mutal, mwet uh in tia akilenul.
The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me. And he disguises his face.
16 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.
In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They do not know the light.
17 Elos sangeng ke kalem lun len uh, A lohsr uh tiana aksangengyalos.”
For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness. For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18 “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.
Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into the way of the vineyards.
19 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)
Drought and heat consume the snow waters, and Sheol those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Finne nina kial uh, ac tia pac esamul; Wet uh ac kangulla, ac el musalla oana soko sak ma ikori.
The womb shall forget him. The worm shall feed sweetly on him. He shall be no more remembered. And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
21 Ma inge sikyak nu sel mweyen el akkeokye katinmas, Ac tia kulang nu sin mutan su wangin tulik natu.
He devours the barren who do not bear, and does no good to the widow.
22 Ke ku lun God, El kunausla mwet funmwet; God El fin mukuila, mwet koluk sac ac misa.
Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23 God El ku pac in oru tuh mwet sac in tia sun ongoiya, Tusruktu El ac taranna ma el oru pacl nukewa.
God gives them to be in security, and they rest in it. And his eyes are upon their ways.
24 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.
They are exalted. Yet a little while, and they are gone. Yea, 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.
25 Ya oasr mwet se ku in lafwekin mu tia ouinge? Oasr mwet ku in orek loh ac fahk mu kas luk inge tia pwaye?”
And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?
