Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1“Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.
1“Mutuk liye ma ing nukewa tari; Insrek lohng pac tari, ac kalem kac.
2What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
2Ma komtal etu an nga etu pac. Wangin ma nga ten liki komtal kac.
3Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
3Tusruktu alein luk uh ma nu sin God, tia ma nu sumtal; Nga ke fahkak ye mutal lah wangin mwetik.
4You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
4Komtal sang kas kikiap kosrala nikin lomtal ingan; Komtal oana mwet ono ma tia ku in akkeyala kutena mwet mas uh.
5If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!
5Komtal fin tia kaskas, sahp ac oasr mwet nunku mu komtal lalmwetmet.
6Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips.
6“Porongo ke nga ac srumun kas in aksuwos luk.
7Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?
7Efu ku komtal kikiap in kaskas? Ya komtal nunku mu God El ac wokin kikiap lomtal an?
8Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense?
8Mea, ke pacl in nununku, komtal ac loangel? Ya komtal ac kaskas in kasrel?
9Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him like a man?
9God El fin liksreni lohwot nu sumtal, ya oasr ma wo El ku in konauk keimtal? Mea, komtal pangon komtal ac ku in kiapu God oana ke komtal kiapu mwet uh?
10Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
10Komtal finne oru srisri lomtal an in lukma, El ac srakna kai komtal kac,
11Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?
11Ac ku lal uh ac fah arulana aksangengye komtal.
12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
12Soakas lomtal uh wangin sripa, oana apat uh; Ac alein lomtal uh munas oana fohk kle.
13Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.
13Tal misla, ac se pacl luk nga in kaskas, Ac fokin fahk luk uh, ma na luk.
14Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?
14“Nga akola in pilesralana moul luk uh.
15Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face.
15Finsrak luk nukewa wanginla, na mea sunakin God El fin uniyuwi? Nga ac fahklana ma nga nunku nu sel.
16Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him.
16Sahp, pulaik luk uh ac ku in moliyula, Mweyen wanginna mwet koluk ku in lain God.
17Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.
17Srike lohng kas in aketeya luk uh.
18Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.
18Nga akola in fahk ma nga pulakin uh, Mweyen nga etu lah pwaye sik.
19Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
19“O God, ya kom ac tuku in fahk mu oasr ma sutuu luk? Fin ouingan, nga akola in mihslana ac misa.
20Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:
20Ma luoiyana nga ke siyuk sum; kom fin insese nu kac, Na nga fah tia srike in wikla liki kom:
21Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.
21Ma se meet, kom in tia sifil akkeokyeyu; akluo, tia sifilpa aksangengyeyu.
22Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply.
22“Kaskas meet, O God, ac nga fah topuk kom. Fin tia ouinge, lela nga in sramsram, ac kom fah topukyu.
23How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
23Mea ngac ma koluk luk uh? Ma sufal fuka nga orala uh? Ma koluk fuka kom nununkeyu kac uh?
24Why do You hide Your face and consider me as Your enemy?
24“Efu ku kom kaingkinyu? Efu ku kom oreyu oana mwet lokoalok se lom?
25Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff?
25Ya kom srike in aksangengyeyu? Wangin sripuk, nga oana sra se; Kom alein nu sin mah paola soko.
26For You record bitter accusations against me and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth.
26“Kom srukak ma koluk na lulap lainyu, Wi pac ma nga tuh oru ke nga mwet fusr.
27You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
27Kom filiya niuk ke mwe kapir; Kom tawiya fahluk nukewa luk, Ac lol pac falkuk yen nukewa nga fahsr nu we.
28So man wastes away like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.
28Ke sripa se inge, nga mwesri oana sie polosak kulawi, Oana sie nuknuk ma waten uh kangla.
