Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Job answered:
1Na Job el topuk ac fahk,
2“Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?
2Aok, nga lohng nufon ma ingan tari. Tusruktu ma ya mwet se ac ku in eis kutangla el fin lain God in pacl in nununku?
3If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
3Kut ac alein fuka nu sel? El ku in siyuk tausin mwe siyuk Ma mwet uh tiana ku in topokla.
4God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
4God El arulana lalmwetmet ac kulana; Wangin mwet ku in alein nu sel.
5He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
5El ku in moklela na eol uh in kitin pacl, ac wangin eteya, Ac kunausla eol inge ke ku lun kasrkusrak lal.
6He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
6God El supwama kusrusr lulap ac mokleak infohk uh; El osrokak sru lulap ma loangeak faclu.
7He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
7El ku in sikulya faht uh in tia takak, Ac oru itu uh in tia kalem ke fong.
8He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
8Wangin mwet tuh wi God laknelik kusrao, Ku futungya fintukun ma sulallal inkof uh.
9He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
9God El oakiya kais sie u in itu inkusrao — su orala petsa ke luman Bear Lulap soko, Mwet Sru Kosro se, ac Tamtael itkosr, oayapa itu nu epang.
10He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
10Kut tia ku in kalem ke orekma usrnguk lal uh, Ac mwenmen ma El oru inge wangin safla kac.
11Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
11“God El fufahsryesr ye mutuk, a nga tia ku in liyal.
12If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
12El eis ma El lungse, ac wangin mwet ku in kutongilya; Wangin mwet ku in fahk, ‘Mea kom oru an?’
13God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
13Kasrkusrak lun God uh tia ku in ekla. El kunausla mwet lokoalok lal Su kasrel Rahab, ma sulallal inkof uh, ke Rahab el lainul.
14How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
14Ke ma inge, nga ac konauk fuka kas in sang topkol?
15For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
15Finne wangin ma sufal luk, pwayena ma nga ku in oru Pa nga in siyuk ke pakoten sin God, su nununkeyu.
16If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
16Tusruktu, El finne lela nga in kaskas, Nga tia lulalfongi mu El ac porongeyu.
17For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
17El supwama paka upa in tuh sringilyu ac kanteya monuk, Ke na wangin sripa.
18He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
18El tia ase pacl in momong luk; A El nwakla moul luk ke mwe keok upa.
19If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him ?
19Ya nga ac srike in lainul? Ku nga ku in lain God? Ya nga ac usalak nu ke nununku? Mea, oasr mwet ku in oru Elan som?
20Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
20Moul luk uh nasnasna ac nga inse pwayena nu sel, tusruktu kas luk uh oru oana in oasr koluk luk, Ac oana in ma nukewa nga fahk uh ma ac akkolukyeyu.
21Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
21Wangin ma sufal luk, tuh nga mansis na. Nga arulana srungala moul luk.
22It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
22Wangin sripen ma nukewa. God El ac kunauskutla, finne oasr ma koluk lasr ku wangin.
23When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
23Fin mwet wangin ma sufal la se misa in kitin pacl na, Na God El ac isrun.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
24God El sang faclu nu inpoun mwet sulallal. El oru mwet nununku uh kewa in sulongunla. Fin tia El pa oru ouinge uh, na su?
25My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
25“Len luk uh kainglana, ac wangin sie sin len inge wo.
26They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
26Moul luk uh kasrusr mui oana oak soko ma mui oemeet uh, Oana luman mui lun sie eagle ke el ac pwesrouli nu fin soko rabbit.
27If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
27Nga fin ac fahk mu nga ac mulkunla ma nga toasr kac uh, Ac srike in ekulla ngetnget asor luk in pwar;
28I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
28Tusruktu nga esamak mwe keok nukewa luk ac nga sangeng Mweyen nga etu lah God El srakna pangon mu oasr ma sufal luk.
29Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
29Ke nunkeyuk mu oasr ma sufal luk uh, na mwe mea nga in suk?
30If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
30Wangin soap ac ku in ohlla ma koluk luk uh.
31then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
31God El sisyuyang nu in sie luf na fohkfok, Ne nuknuk nga nukum inge, a mwekyekinyu pac.
32For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
32Funu mwet se pa God, nga lukun ku in topkol, Usalak nu in nununku ac oru aksuwos lasr uh we.
33Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
33Tusruktu wangin mwet ku in tu inmasrlosr Ac nununkekut kewa.
34Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
34Tari, nimet nununkeyu, O God! Sruokya mwe aksangeng lom an likiyu!
35Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
35Nga tia sangeng. Nga ac kaskas, Mweyen nga etu insiuk sifacna.
