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, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that 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.
Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
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 ass 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 hide 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.
Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 Elos enenu in kosrani ke ima su tia ma lalos, Ac sifani grape ke ima lun mwet koluk.
They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 Ke fong uh elos mihsrisr, mweyen wangin ma elos in kateya; Elos koflufol na motul.
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they 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.
They 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.
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Elos fuleya olive in orek oil, ac grape in orek wain, A elos ac malu na.
Which make oil within their walls, and 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.
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 “Oasr kutu mwet koluk ma kwase kalem uh; Elos nikin kalmeya, ac tia ke fahsr nu yen kalem uh kololos nu we.
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 Ke tafun lotu uh, mwet akmas el illa In uniya mwet sukasrup uh, Ac ke fong uh, el som pisrapasr.
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night 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 waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth 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, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17 Elos sangeng ke kalem lun len uh, A lohsr uh tiana aksangengyalos.”
For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors 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 as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not 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: so doth the grave those which 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 wickedness 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 evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 Ke ku lun God, El kunausla mwet funmwet; God El fin mukuila, mwet koluk sac ac misa.
He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure 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.
Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet 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 for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
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 make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
