Elifaz
1 Eka Elifaz ja-Teman nodwoke kama:
2 “Bende chunyi nyalo doko malit ka ngʼato okeloni wach moro
nimar ok anyal lingʼ mak awuoyo?
3 Parie kaka isepuonjo ji mangʼeny,
kendo isejiwo joma chunygi onyosore.
4 Wechegi osekonyo joma opodho;
kendo isejiwo joma tekogi orumo.
5 To koro chandruok osechoponi
kendo chunyi onyosore omiyo ionge gi kwe.
6 Luor miluorogo Nyasaye dak koro miyi chir
koso ngimani moriere dak koro miyi geno?
 
7 “Koro par ane: En ngʼa mosekum maonge ketho?
Koso joma kare mage minyalo tieki?
8 Gima aseneno en ni
joma chwoyo richo gi chandruok kayo mana richo.
9 Itiekogi apoya nono gi much Nyasaye;
kendo sa ma mirimbe obiro to gilal nono.
10 Sibuoche nyalo ruto kendo sibuoche mager nyalo goyo asumbi,
to kata kamano leke sibuoche maroteke osemuki.
11 Sibuor koro tho nikech gima ocham onge,
kendo nyithi sibuor oringo ma oke.
 
12 “Ne okuodhna wach moro mos,
to ne awinje mana marach rach.
13 Wachni nobirona gotieno e yor lek,
e sa ma nindo goye ji ngoga,
14 kendo luoro gi kibaji nogoya
momiyo denda duto onyosore.
15 Eka muya nokudho wangʼa,
mi yier denda duto nojuol.
16 Nochungʼ molingʼ thi,
to ne ok anyal ngʼeyo ni en angʼo.
Kido moro nobiro mochungʼ e nyim wangʼa,
kendo nawinjo dwol moro machil, kawacho niya:
17 ‘Bende dhano mangima nyalo bedo makare moloyo Nyasaye?
Dhano bende dibed maler moloyo jachwechne?
18 Ka Nyasaye ok nyal geno jotichne,
ma kata malaika bende joketho e nyime,
19 to koro ere kaka dodew dhano molos gi lowo,
ma mise mag-gi en mana buru,
ma inyalo duny marum mana ka oguyo!
20 Chakre kogwen nyaka odhiambo inyalo turgi matindo tindo ka ok ongʼeyo,
kendo gilal nyaka chiengʼ.
21 Donge tondegi ma gitweyogo hema igonyo,
mondo omi githo ka gionge rieko?’
