Job 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
1Na Zophar el fahk,
2Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be accounted right?
2“Mea, wanginna mwet ac topuk kas lusrongten inge? Ya mwet se fin kaskas pusla, na ac oru in pwaye sel?
3Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;
3Job, ya kom nunku mu kut tia ku in topuk kom? Ya kom nunku mu kas in aksruksruk lom ingan ac oru in wanginla ma kut ku in fahk?
4And thou hast said: 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in Thine eyes.'
4Kom fahk mu ma kom fahk an pwayena; Kom sifacna fahk mu kom nasnas ye mutun God.
5But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against thee;
5Seyal nga ke God Elan topuk kom!
6And that He would tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
6El lukun fahkot nu sum lah oasr kain in lalmwetmet pus; Ac oasr kutu ma su arulana loalla nu ke ma mwet uh ku in kalem kac. Akkeok lun God nu sum uh srikla liki ma fal kom in keok kac.
7Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?
7“Ku kom ku in sifacna konauk lupa ac saflaiyen Ku ac fulat lun God uh?
8It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than the nether-world; what canst thou know?
8Lupan ku lun God uh tia safla na yen engyeng uh, A srakna oan loes liki lusen acn ma kom ku in sun uh. God El oayapa etu facl sin mwet misa uh, A kom tia etu.
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
9Fulat lun God uh sralap liki faclu Ac yohk liki meoa uh.
10If He pass by, and shut up, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?
10God El fin sruokkomi ac uskomyak nu ke nununku, Su ac ku in kutongilya?
11For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?
11God El etu lah su mwet ma wangin sripa uh; El liye ma koluk nukewa ma elos oru uh.
12But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.
12Mwet sulalkung uh ac ekla lalmwetmet Ke pacl se ma donkey uh ac isusla tuh mwet.
13If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward Him —
13“Job, wo kom in tari auliyak, ac asroela poum in pre nu sin God.
14If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents —
14Sisla ma koluk ac ma sutuu liki in lohm sum.
15Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear;
15Na kom ac fah pulaik ac fwacfa ye mutun mwet.
16For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away;
16Fin ouinge, na kom ac fah tia sifil esam mwe keok lom nukewa, Oana sie sronot su somla ac tia sifil esamyuk.
17And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
17Na moul lom uh ac fah kalem liki kalmen faht ke infulwen len, Ac lohsr lulap lun moul uh ac fah kalemla oana kalem ke lotutang uh.
18And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt look about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.
18Kom ac fah moul in misla ac sessesla ke finsrak; God El ac fah karingin kom ac sot mongla nu sum.
19Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
19Kom ac fah tia sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lom; Ac mwet puspis ac fah siyuk kom in kasrelos.
20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul.
20Tusruktu mwet koluk uh fah ngetot ngetma ke fohsak lalos Ac konauk lah elos tia ku in kaingla. Mwe finsrak sefanna lalos pa elos in sa misa.”
