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?
But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,
2 “Mwet uh mokle masrol lalos in akyokye acn lalos uh; Ac pisre sheep uh in akyokye un sheep natulos sifacna.
while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd?
3 Elos pisrala donkey nutin tulik mukaimtal uh, Ac sruokya ox nutin mutan katinmas uh, na soano elan molela soemoul lal.
They have led away, the ass of the fatherless, and taken 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 have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together.
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.
And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to [his] little ones.
6 Elos enenu in kosrani ke ima su tia ma lalos, Ac sifani grape ke ima lun mwet koluk.
They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.
7 Ke fong uh elos mihsrisr, mweyen wangin ma elos in kateya; Elos koflufol na motul.
They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body.
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 drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no 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.
They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast.
10 A mwet sukasrup elos ac illa ac wangin nuknuk in karingin manolos; Elos ac masrinsral na ke elos telani fokin wheat uh.
And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.
11 Elos fuleya olive in orek oil, ac grape in orek wain, A elos ac malu na.
They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way.
12 Mwet kinet ac mwet apkuran in misa in siti uh elos wowoyak nu sin God, Tusruktu God El tiana porongo pre lalos.
Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud.
13 “Oasr kutu mwet koluk ma kwase kalem uh; Elos nikin kalmeya, ac tia ke fahsr nu yen kalem uh kololos nu we.
Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths?
14 Ke tafun lotu uh, mwet akmas el illa In uniya mwet sukasrup uh, Ac ke fong uh, el som pisrapasr.
But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief:
15 Sie mwet kosro el ac soano in tari ekela; El ac afinya mutal, mwet uh in tia akilenul.
and the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on 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 darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light.
17 Elos sangeng ke kalem lun len uh, A lohsr uh tiana aksangengyalos.”
For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, for [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.
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.
He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare.
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)
[Let them be] withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless. (Sheol h7585)
20 Finne nina kial uh, ac tia pac esamul; Wet uh ac kangulla, ac el musalla oana soko sak ma ikori.
Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapour of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
21 Ma inge sikyak nu sel mweyen el akkeokye katinmas, Ac tia kulang nu sin mutan su wangin tulik natu.
For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman.
22 Ke ku lun God, El kunausla mwet funmwet; God El fin mukuila, mwet koluk sac ac misa.
And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
23 God El ku pac in oru tuh mwet sac in tia sun ongoiya, Tusruktu El ac taranna ma el oru pacl nukewa.
When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
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.
For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
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?”
But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?
