Job 14
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
1“Kut nukewa isusla tuh munas ac tia ku in sifacna. Moul lasr nukewa fototo ac sessesla ke mwe ongoiya.
2He cometh forth like a flower, and withereth; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
2Kut kapak na sa na in uli oana ros uh; Ac kut wanginla oana lul uh.
3And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee?
3O God, ya kom ku in ngetma ac nunku ke kain mwet se nga uh, Ku eisyuyang nu in nununku?
4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
4Wangin ma nasnas ku in tuku Liki sie ma su arulana fohkfok oana mwet uh.
5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with Thee, and Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
5Lusen moul lal nuna oakwuki na meet — Aok, pisen malem ma el ac moul uh. Kom orala tari oakwuk lom, ac tia ku in ikilyukla.
6Look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
6Ngetla lukel ac nimet lusrongol. Lela elan engankin moul upa se inge, el fin ku.
7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
7“Oasr finsrak ke soko sak ma pakpuki tari — Mweyen ac ku in sifil srunak ac moul.
8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
8Okah uh finne matuoh, Ac srua uh misa infohk uh,
9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.
9Fin oasr kof pusralla na ac sifilpa kapak oana soko sak fusr.
10But man dieth, and lieth low; yea, man perisheth, and where is he?
10A mwet se fin misa, na fuka? Ke el misa uh, pa na ingan saflaiyal.
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the river is drained dry;
11“Oana sie lulu su paola, Ac soko infacl su tila soror,
12So man lieth down and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
12Ouinge mwet uh ac misa, ac tia sifil moulyak. Nwe ke pacl se kusrao ac fah wanginla, elos fah tia ngutalik; Ku mukuila liki motul lalos.
13Oh that Thou wouldest hide me in the nether-world, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, until Thy wrath be past, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! —
13“Nga ke kom in wikinyula in facl sin mwet misa; Lela in wikinyukla nga nwe ke na kasrkusrak lom uh wanginla, Ac kom oakiya sie pacl an in esamyu.
14If a man die, may he live again? All the days of my service would I wait, till my relief should come —
14Ku mwet se fin misa, ya el ku in sifil moulyak? Tusruktu, nga ac soano in oasr pacl wo se, Ke pacl koluk se inge ac wanginla.
15Thou wouldest call, and I would answer Thee; Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of Thy hands.
15Na kom fah pang ac nga ac topuk kom, Ac kom fah insewowo keik, su ma orekla lun poum.
16But now Thou numberest my steps, Thou dost not even wait for my sin;
16Na kom fah karingin fahluk nukewa luk, A kom fah tia oakla ma koluk luk.
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity.
17Kom ac fah nunak munas kac, ac mulkunla ma inge; Kom ac fah eela ma sufal nukewa ma nga orala.
18And surely the mountain falling crumbleth away, and the rock is removed out of its place;
18“Sie pacl eol uh ac mokukla, Ac fulu uh ac mokleyukla.
19The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth; so Thou destroyest the hope of man.
19Kof uh ac fah kangla eot uh, Ac af upa ac fah pahtkakunla fohkon acn uh; Ouinge kom fah kunausla finsrak lun mwet uh ke moul lalos.
20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
20Kom kunausla ku lun sie mwet ac lusulla ma pahtpat; Ac mutal irelik in misa lal.
21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he regardeth them not.
21Wen natul uh ac fah sunakinyuk, a el ac tia ku in etu, Ke ac akmwekinyeyukla tulik natul, ac tia pac akkalemyeyuk nu sel.
22But his flesh grieveth for him, and his soul mourneth over him.
22El ac pula na ngal lun manol, Ac asor lun nunak lal mukena.”
