Job 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.
1“Inge moul luk uh apkuran in safla. Arulana upa nu sik in momong; Wangin ma lula nu sik sayen kulyuk luk, su akoeyukla soaneyu.
2Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
2Nga liye lah mwet nukewa arulana aksruksrukeyu.
3Give now a pledge, be surety for me with Thyself; who else is there that will strike hands with me?
3Nga kaskas pwayena, O God. Nunak munas, lulalfongi kas luk. Wangin mwet ac ku in iweyula fin tia kom.
4For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.
4Kom kaliya nunak lalos, pwanang elos tia ku in nunkauk kutena ma pwaye; Nimet lela elos in kutangyula inge.
5He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
5Soakas matu se fahk mu sie mwet fin kiapwela mwet kawuk lal ke sripen mani, Na tulik natul fah eis mwata ac keok kac.
6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become one in whose face they spit.
6Ac inge mwet uh orekmakin soakas se inge in lainyu; Elos tuku ac acni nu in mutuk.
7Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, and all my members are as a shadow.
7Asor luk apkuranna in konela mutuk; Pouk ac niuk arulana minini oana lul uh.
8Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.
8Mwet ma sifacna nunku mu elos suwos uh elos lut, Ac elos nukewa kasrkusrak ac fahk mu nga tia lulalfongi God.
9Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, and he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.
9Elos su sifacna pangon mu elos mwet suwoswos, Yokyokelikna nunkeya selos mu pwaye selos.
10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; and I shall not find a wise man among you.
10Tusruktu elos nukewa fin tuku ac tu ye mutuk, Nga lukun tia ku in konauk mu oasr siefanna selos lalmwetmet.
11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
11“Len luk uh somla; ako luk uh tia orekla; Ac finsrak luk uh wanginla.
12They change the night into day; the light is short because of darkness.
12A mwet kawuk luk uh fahk mu fong uh kalem; Elos fahk mu kalem uh apkuranme, Tusruk nga etu lah nga srakna muta in lohsr.
13If I look for the nether-world as my house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness;
13Finsrak sefanna luk pa facl sin mwet misa, Yen su nga ac fah ona ac motul in lohsr uh.
14If I have said to corruption: 'Thou art my father', to the worm: 'Thou art my mother, and my sister';
14Nga ac fah pangon kulyuk uh pa papa tumuk, Ac wet ma ac kangyula uh, Nga ac fah pangon mu nina kiuk ac tamtael luk.
15Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
15Pia mwe finsrak luk uh? Su ku in liyauk lah oasr oya?
16They shall go down to the bars of the nether-world, when we are at rest together in the dust.
16Finsrak uh ac fah tia ku in wiyu som Ke nga ac oatui nu in facl sin mwet misa.”
