Job 22
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
1Na Eliphaz el fahk,
2Can a man be profitable unto God? Or can he that is wise be profitable unto Him?
2“Ku oasr sie mwet, finne mwet ma lalmwetmet emeet uh, Su oasr sripa nu sin God?
3Is it any advantage to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways blameless?
3Ku orekma lom fin arulana suwohs, ya ac akwoye God? Kom fin tia oru kutena ma koluk, ya ac ku in kasrel?
4Is it for thy fear of Him that He reproveth thee, that He entereth with thee into judgment?
4Tia ke sripen kom sangeng sin God Pa oru Elan kai kom, ku nununkekom an.
5Is not thy wickedness great? And are not thine iniquities without end?
5Mo, ma ke sripen arulana yokla ma koluk lom; Oayapa ke ma koluk nukewa ma kom oru an.
6For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
6Ke kom oru tuh sie mwet lim in akfalyela mani ma el ngisrala sum uh, Oana kom in sarukla nuknuk ma el nukum uh ac oru tuh elan koflufolla.
7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
7Kom tuh srunga sang kof nimen mwet su totola, Ac sranga pac sang mwe mongo nu selos su masrinsral.
8And as a mighty man, who hath the earth, and as a man of rank, who dwelleth in it,
8Kom tuh orekmakin ku lom ac wal lom In eisla acn uh nufon.
9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
9Kom tia falkin lah kom tia wi kasru katinmas, A kom oayapa pisre ma lun tulik mukaimtal, ac oralos koluk.
10Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden dread affrighted thee,
10Ke ma inge sruhf puspis raunikomla ac akola in sruokkomi, Ac inge kom muta in sangeng na lulap.
11Or darkness, that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters cover thee.
11Arulana yokla lohsr ingena, oru kom tia ku in liye, Ac sie sronot lulap afinkomla.
12Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the topmost of the stars, how high they are!
12“Ya God El tia muta yen fulatlana inkusrao Ac ngeti nu fin itu uh, finne itu uh oan yen fulat?
13And thou sayest: 'What doth God know? Can He judge through the dark cloud?
13A kom siyuk, ‘Mea God El etu? Pukunyeng uh okanulla, na El ac nununkekut fuka?’
14Thick clouds are a covering to Him, that He seeth not; and He walketh in the circuit of heaven.'
14Kom nunku mu pukunyeng matoltol uh kosrala mutal Elan tia liye, Ke El forfor fin acn engyeng uh.
15Wilt thou keep the old way which wicked men have trodden?
15“Ya kom wotela sum tari mu kom ac fahsrna ke inkanek Ma mwet koluk uh fahsr kac pacl nukewa uh?
16Who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream;
16Meet liki na pacl in misa lalos, Elos pahtkakinyukla tari ke sie sronot.
17Who said unto God: 'Depart from us'; and what could the Almighty do unto them?
17Mwet inge mwet pilesru God, Ac elos nunku mu wangin ma El ku in oru nu selos.
18Yet He filled their houses with good things — but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
18Sruhk God pa tuh akinsewowoyalos ke kasrpalos — Nga tia ku in kalem ke nunak lun mwet koluk uh.
19The righteous saw it, and were glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorn:
19Mwet wo uh engan, ac mwet wangin mwata elos israsr Ke elos liye lah kalyeiyuk mwet koluk uh.
20'Surely their substance is cut off, and their abundance the fire hath consumed.'
20Ma nukewa lun mwet koluk uh kunausyukla, Ac e uh esukak kutena ma su lula.
21Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace; thereby shall thine increase be good.
21“Inge, Job, akmisye kom nu sin God, Ac nimet oral oana sie mwet lokoalok; Kom fin suk misla, na El ac akinsewowoye kom.
22Receive, I pray thee, instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in thy heart.
22Eis mwe luti ma El sot uh; Ac filiya kas lal insiom.
23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up — if thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents,
23Aok, kom enenu in siskomi, ac foloko nu yurin God, Oru in safla ma koluk nukewa Ma orek in lohm sum an.
24And lay thy treasure in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
24Sisla gold lom an; Sisla nufon gold wowo lom an nu ke kapin infacl paola ingan.
25And the Almighty be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee;
25Lela tuh in God Kulana pa gold lom uh, Ac Elan oana silver lom su yolyak oan yurum an.
26Then surely shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
26Na kom fah lulalfongi God pacl nukewa, Ac kom fah etu lah mwe insewowo lom nukewa tuku sel me.
27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He will hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows;
27Ke kom pre El ac topuk kom, Ac kom fah liyaung wulela nukewa ma kom orala nu sel an.
28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee, and light shall shine upon thy ways.
28Na ac fah wo ouiyom ke ma nukewa kom oru, Ac kalem ac fah tolak inkanek lom.
29When they cast thee down, thou shalt say: 'There is lifting up'; for the humble person He saveth.
29God El sisya mwet inse fulat, Ac molela mwet pusisel.
30He delivereth him that is innocent, yea, thou shalt be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
30God El ac fah molikomla fin wangin ma sufal lom, Ac fin pwaye orekma lom.”
