Job 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And Job again took up his parable, and said:
1Na Job el sifil mutawauk in kaskas:
2Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
2“Saok moul luk uh in ku in sifil folokla Oana ke pacl se God El tuh karinginyu ah.
3When His lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness;
3In pacl sac God El tuh wiyu na pacl nukewa, Ac ase kalem nu sik ke nga fufahsryesr in lohsr uh.
4As I was in the days of my youth, when the converse of God was upon my tent;
4In len ingo pa nga tuh arulana fokoko, Ac asruoki lun God nu sik arulana karingin inkul sik wo.
5When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were about me;
5God Kulana El tuh arulana wiyu, Ac tulik nutik nukewa elos muta yuruk.
6When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!
6Yohk sronin titi lun cow ac nani nutik, Ac eot in itat olive nu ke oil, yohk oil soror kac.
7When I went forth to the gate unto the city, when I prepared my seat in the broad place,
7Pacl nukewa ma mwet matu in siti uh ac toeni, Ac nga eis acn sik inmasrlolos uh,
8The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood;
8Mwet fusr uh ac sa na sekinyula elos fin liyeyuyak, Ac mukul matu elos tuyak in akkalemye akfulat lalos nu sik.
9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;
9Mwet kol uh ac tui pac tila sramsram;
10The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
10Finne mwet ma fulat selos uh, ac misla pac.
11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me;
11“Mwet nukewa su liyeyu meet, ku lohng sramsram keik, Elos ac kaksakinyu, ac srumunna woiyen orekma luk.
12Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.
12Ke mwet sukasrup elos tuh ngusr, nga kasrelos; Nga kasru pac tulik mukaimtal ma wangin mwet in kasrelos.
13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
13Mwet ma muta in ongoiya elos kaksakinyu, Ac katinmas uh elos arulana engankin kasru nga oru nu selos.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed itself with me; my justice was as a robe and a diadem.
14Pacl nukewa nga oru na ma suwohs ac pwaye.
15I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
15Nga oana atronmuta nu sin mwet kun, Ac oana nia nu sin mwet ma tia ku in fahsr.
16I was a father to the needy; and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.
16Nga oana sie papa nu sin mwet sukasrup, Ac nga tuh kasru mwetsac uh in kutena mwe ongoiya nu selos.
17And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
17Nga kunausla ku lun mwet sulallal, Ac molela mwet ma elos akkeokye uh.
18Then I said: 'I shall die with my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the phoenix;
18“Pacl nukewa nga tuh nunku mu moul luk ac loes na, Ac nga ac misa na in misla yurin tulik nutik, in lohm sik sifacna.
19My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew shall lie all night upon my branch;
19Nga tuh oana soko sak ma oasr kof ke okah uh in pacl nukewa, Ac lah kac uh aksroksrokyeyuk pacl nukewa ke aunfong uh.
20My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow shall be renewed in my hand.'
20Mwet nukewa tiana tui in kaksakinyu, Ac ku luk aksasuyeyuk pacl e nukewa.
21Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
21Pacl nga sang kas in luti uh, mwet uh ac misla Ac lohma in lohng ma nga fahk uh;
22After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
22Na ke safla sramsram luk uh, wanginna ma elos ac ku in sifilpa fahk. Kas luk ac tili nu in elos oana tulin af nu fin fohk pao;
23And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
23Mwet uh ac arulana engan in eis kas luk uh Oana ke mwet ima uh engan ke ac sifil afi.
24If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
24Nga israsr srisrik nu selos ke pacl wanginla finsrak lalos; Ac ngetnget kulang luk akkeyalos.
25I chose out their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
25Nga pa kololos, ac wotela ma elos in oru; Nga tuh kololos oana sie tokosra su kol un mwet mweun lal, Ac nga akwoyalos ke pacl elos asor.
