Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Elihu continued:
1Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
2“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
2“Lohng kas luk uh, komtal su oru mu komtal lalmwetmwet, Ac ikasla insremtal in lohngyu, komtal su pangon mu komtal etu ma nukewa.
3For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
3Komtal etu mongo yu uh ke komtal ac ema uh, Tusruktu komtal tiana akilen kas lalmwetmet ke komtal lohng uh.
4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
4Lela kut in tukeni sulela lah pia ma pwaye uh; Ac lela kut in sifacna nunku lah pia ma wo uh.
5For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
5Mweyen Job el sifacna fahk mu wangin ma koluk lal, Ac el fahk pac mu God El tiana orek nununku suwohs nu sel.
6Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
6El siyuk ac fahk, ‘Ac fuka ngan kikiap mu oasr ma koluk luk.? Nga arulana musalla ke kinet keik, tusruktu wanginna ma koluk luk.’
7What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
7“Nu oasr mwet komtal liye oana mwet se Job uh? El oru aksruksruk lal uh ma na fisrasr, oana ke el nim kof uh.
8He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
8El lungse asruoki nu sin mwet orekma koluk, Ac wi mwet koluk fufahsryesr.
9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
9El fahk kut finne srike in fahsr tukun ma lungse lun God, Wanginna ma ac wo nu sesr kac.
10Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
10“Porongeyu, komtal su nunku mu oasr etauk la! Ya God Kulana El ku in oru ma sesuwos?
11For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
11El akinsewowoye mwet uh fal nu ke orekma lalos, Ac folokin nu selos fal nu ke ouiyen moul lalos.
12Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
12God Kulana El tiana oru ma koluk; Wangin pacl El oru ma sesuwos nu sin mwet uh.
13Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
13Mea, God El eis ku lal sin sie na? Ya oasr pac sie su sang ku nu sel in liyaung faclu?
14If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,
14God El fin sulela sel Elan eisla ngunal ac mongol liki mwet uh,
15all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
15Na mwet nukewa ma moul uh ac misa Ac sifilpa folokla nu ke kutkut.
16If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
16“Inge, komtal fin lalmwetmet, komtal lohng ma nga ac fahk uh.
17Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,
17Ya komtal fahk mu oasr mwatan God su suwoswoslana? Ya komtal nunku mu El su kulana El lain nununku suwohs?
18who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
18God El ku in fahkak mwatan tokosra ac mwet leum uh Ke pacl elos oru ma koluk, ac fin wangin sripalos.
19who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.
19El tia wi mwet leum uh lac, Ku oru in wo nu sin mwet kasrup liki mwet sukasrup, Mweyen El pa orala mwet nukewa.
20They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
20Sie mwet el ku in misa in kitin pacl na ke fong. God El sringilya mwet uh na elos misa; El uniya mwet ku uh oana ma wangin.
21For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
21El taran ma mwet uh oru in pacl nukewa.
22There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
22Wanginna acn ma lohsr matoltol Ku in okanla mwet koluk uh liki God.
23For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
23God El tia enenu in pakiya pacl Lun sie mwet in som tuh Elan nununku.
24He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
24El tia enenu in oasr sukok se orek Tuh Elan sisla mwet kol uh ac aolulosla.
25Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
25Mweyen El etu ma elos oru uh. El ac siselosla ac itungulosi ke fong uh.
26He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
26El akkeokye mwet koluk uh yen mwet nukewa ac ku in liye,
27because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
27Mweyen elos tila fahsr tokol, Ac elos pilesrala ma sap lal nukewa.
28They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
28Ke sripalos mwet sukasrup elos wowoyak ac pang nu sin God, Tuh Elan kasrelos, ac God El lohng pusren pang lalos.
29But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
29“God El fin sulela Elan tiana oru kutu ma, Wangin mwet ac ku in fahk mu oasr ma sutuu sel. El fin okanla mutal, wangin ma mwet uh ac ku in oru.
30that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
30Wangin ma mutanfahl uh ac ku in oru In ikolya mwet ma tia etu God uh in tia leum faclos.
31Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
31“Job, ku kom fahkak tari ma koluk lom an nu sin God, Ac wulela kom in tia sifil orekma koluk?
32Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
32Kom nu siyuk God Elan akkalemye nu sum ma kom sufalla kac uh, Ac insese mu kom ac tia sifilpa orekma koluk?
33Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
33Ke kom lain ma God El oru uh, Ya kom liye mu El ac ku in oru ma kom lungse uh? Sulela uh ac ma na lom, tia ma luk; Fahkma nu sesr ingena ma kom nunku an.
34Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
34“Kutena mwet ma kalem in nunak uh, ac ku in insese nu sik; Ac kutena mwet lalmwetmet ma lohng kas luk uh, ac ku in fahk lah
35‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
35Job el kaskas ke lalfon lal, Ac lah wangin kalmen ma el fahk uh.
36If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
36Nunku akwoya ke ma nukewa ma Job el fahk uh; Komtal ac akilen lah el kaskas oana sie mwet koluk.
37For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
37El sang seakos in laesla ma koluk lal uh; El aksruksruki God ye mutasr nukewa.”
