Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Job answered:
1Na Job el fahk,
2“Truly then you are the people with whom wisdom itself will die!
2“Aok, komtal aolla pusren mwet uh. Komtal fin misa, na lalmwetmet ac fah wi komtal na misa.
3But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?
3Tusruktu oasr pacna ma nga etu oana komtal; Wanginna ma nga ten liki komtal kac; Mwet nukewa etu ma komtal fahk an.
4I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.
4Finne mwet kawuk luk, elos isrunyu pac in pacl inge; Nga ne suwoswosna ac wangin mwetik, a elos isrun yu pacna; Tusruktu, oasr pacl God El tuh topuk pre luk.
5The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
5Komtal tiana pula ma upa, a komtal isrunyu; Komtal sringilya mwet se ma apkuran in ikori uh.
6The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure— those who carry their god in their hands.
6Mwet pisrapasr ac mwet koluk elos mutana in misla, A pwayena god lalos pa ku lalos sifacna.
7But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
7“Finne won ku kosro lemnak uh, oasr pac ma elos ku in luti nu sumtal;
8Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; let the fish of the sea inform you.
8Siyuk lalmwetmet sin ma orakrak fin faclu ac ik in meoa uh.
9Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
9Elos nukewa etu lah poun God pa oralosla uh.
10The life of every living thing is in His hand, as well as the breath of all mankind.
10God pa kol moul lun ma El orala inge; Moul lun mwet nukewa oan ye ku lal.
11Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes its food?
11Tusruktu, insremtal engan in lohng kas uh, Oana ke loumtal lungse ema mwe mongo.
12Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.
12“Lalmwetmet oasr sin mwet matu uh, Ke elos matuoh, yohk etauk lalos.
13Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are His.
13Tusruktu God El sisani kewa lalmwetmet ac ku; El liyaten ac sessesla ke lalmwetmet.
14What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man He imprisons cannot be released.
14God El fin ikruiya sie ma, su ku in sifilpa tulokunak? God El fin kapriya sie mwet, su ac ku in tulala?
15If He holds back the waters, they dry up, and if He releases them, they overwhelm the land.
15Faclu ac paola God El fin tulokinya af uh; Sronot uh tuku ke El fuhlela af upa uh.
16True wisdom and power belong to Him. The deceived and the deceiver are His.
16“God El ku ac El kutangla pacl nukewa; Mwet kikiap ac mwet ma kiapweyukla kewa oan ye ku lal.
17He leads counselors away barefoot and makes fools of judges.
17El eisla nunak lalmwetmet lun mwet leum, Ac oru mwet kol uh in orekma oana mwet lalfon.
18He loosens the bonds placed by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.
18El sisla tokosra uh liki nien muta fulat lalos, ac oru tuh elos in mwet kapir;
19He leads priests away barefoot and overthrows the established.
19El akpusiselye mwet tol ac mwet ma oasr wal la uh.
20He deprives the trusted of speech and takes away the discernment of elders.
20El kaliya oalin mwet lulalfongiyuk uh in tia kaskas, Ac El eisla lalmwetmet lun mwet matu lukelos.
21He pours out contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.
21El akmwekinye mwet leum uh Ac tulokinya ku lun mwet kol uh.
22He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into light.
22El tolak yen lohsr, aok yen lohsr lun misa.
23He makes nations great and destroys them; He enlarges nations, then disperses them.
23El oru kutu mutunfacl uh in yohk ac pwengpeng, Na El sifilpa kutangulosla ac kunauselosla.
24He deprives the earth’s leaders of reason and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
24El oru mwet leum lalos in lalfonla Ac fuhlela elos forfor oana mwet fohsak ac tuhlac;
25They grope in the darkness without light; He makes them stagger like drunkards.
25Elos kahlimin acn lohsr uh, ac tukulkul oana mwet sruhi uh.
