1Then Job answered:
1Na Job el topuk ac fahk,
2“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
2“Nga lohng tari kain sramsram ingan meet; Ac kas in kasru lomtal ingan mwe na akkeok.
3Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
3Mea, komtal ac sramsram na nwe tok? Ya komtal lungse in komtal na pa aksafye sramsram uh pacl nukewa?
4I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
4Funu komtal pa nga, ac nga pa komtal, Nga lukun ku pac in fahk ma nukewa komtal fahk ingan. Nga lukun usruk pac sifuk oana ngan pakomutomtal, Ac fahkot kas puspis in lain kowos.
5But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
5Nga lukun akkeye komtal ke kas in kasru, Ac srumun pacna kutu kas saya in akwoye komtal.
6Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
6“Tusruktu kas nga fahk uh tiana kasreyu, Ac nga fin mutana tia kas, ac tia pacna aksrikyela mwaiok luk uh.
7Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
7O God, kom oru nga arulana foroti; Kom tuh lela sou luk in anwukla.
8You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
8Kom kapriyuwi. Kom mwet lokoalok luk. Inge nga sri na kolo, Ac mwet uh pangon mu ma inge akpwayei lah oasr ma koluk luk.
9His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
9“In kasrkusrak lal, God El eya kupasr nukewa ke monuk, El foloyak ac suiyuwi.
10They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
10Mwet uh isrunyu; Elos kahkeni nu yuruk ac puok likintupuk.
11God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
11God El eisyuyang nu inpoun mwet koluk.
12I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
12Nga tuh muta in misla, Na God El sruokya kwawuk; El puokyu nwe itungyuwi. El oreyu oana sie mwe lutlut pisr,
13His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
13Ac pisrik sukan pisr nu keik liki acn nukewa — Sukan pisr inge fakisyu ac kanteyuwi; Ne ouinge, el tiana luman pakomutuk.
14He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
14El nuna fakisyu na Oana sie mwet mweun ma wella ke srunga lal uh.
15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
15“Nga asor ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, Ac nga pituki na muta infohk uh, lip na pwaye.
16My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
16Nga tung nwe srusrala atronmutuk, Ac kulun mutuk fafwak ac inken tungla.
17yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
17Tusruktu nga tiana oru kutena ouiya sulallal, Ac nga pre nu sin God ke inse na pwaye.
18O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
18“O Faclu, nimet okanla ma koluk ma orek nu sik! Nimet tulokinya pang luk ke nga suk nununku suwohs!
19Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
19Aok pwayena, oasr mwet se inkusrao Su ac fah tuyak wiyu lac, ac kasreyu.
20My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
20Mwet kawuk luk inge elos aksruksrukeyu; Ac sronin mutuk kahkla nu sin God.
21Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
21Nga ke sie mwet ah in kwafe sin God keik, Oana ke sie mwet el kwafe ke mwet kawuk lal.
22For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
22Yac luk somsomlana, Ac nga fahsr ke soko inkanek ma nga tia ku in foloko we me.
