Job 31
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1I made a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?
1“Nga orala tari sie wulela na ku In tia ngetnget in mwel nu sin sie mutan fusr.
2For what would be the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
2Mea God Kulana El oru nu sesr uh? El akfalye fuka orekma lun mwet uh?
3Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
3El supwama ongoiya ac mwe kunausla Nu sin mwet su oru ma sesuwos.
4Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps?
4God El etu ma nukewa nga oru uh; Ac El suiya fahluk nukewa luk.
5If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit —
5“Nga fulahk lah wangin pacl nga oru ma koluk, Ac nga tia wi srike in aklalfonye mwet saya.
6Let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know mine integrity —
6Lela God Elan pauniyu ke sie mwe paun suwohs, Na El ac fah liye lah wangin ma sufal luk.
7If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to my hands;
7Nga fin kuhfla liki inkanek pwaye, Ku lela in kifusyukla nga nu ke ma koluk; Ac pouk fin tunla ke ma koluk,
8Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
8Na lela sacn sunuk uh in kunausyukla, Ku lela mwet saya uh in kangla mwe mongo ma nga yukwi uh.
9If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbour's door;
9“Nga fin tuh ngetnget in mwel nu sin mutan kien mwet tulan luk, Ac wikla soanel likin lohm sel uh,
10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
10Na lela mutan kiuk uh in orek mongo nun sie pacna mukul, Ac motul in mwe oan kien sie pacna mwet.
11For that were a heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
11Kain sulallal ouinge enenu in kaiyuk ke kalya na upa.
12For it is a fire that consumeth unto destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
12Ac fah oana sie e ma kunausla ma nukewa, Ac esukak ma nukewa luk.
13If I did despise the cause of my man-servant, or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me —
13“Ke pacl sie sin mwet kulansap luk, mukul ku mutan, ac suk suwohs lal yuruk, Nga ac akfulatye suk lal uh, ac srike in akwoyela.
14What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when He remembereth, what shall I answer Him?
14Nga fin tia oru in wo nu sel, na nga ac ngetnget fuka nu sin God? Mea nga ac ku in fahk ke God El ac tuku in nununkeyu?
15Did not He that made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?
15God se na ma oreyula uh, Pa orala pac mwet kulansap luk uh.
16If I have withheld aught that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
16“Wangin sie pacl nga srangesr kasru mwet sukasrup uh; Nga tia wi lela katinmas uh in muta in ongoiya,
17Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof —
17Ku lela tulik mukaimtal uh in masrinsral ke nga mongo uh.
18Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother's womb.
18In moul luk nufon, nga mutana kasru mwet ouinge.
19If I have seen any wanderer in want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
19“Nga fin konauk sie mwet in oasr enenu lal, Su arulana sukasrup, ac tia ku in moli nuknuk lal,
20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
20Na nga ac kital nuknuk ma orekla ke unen sheep Su tuku ke un sheep nutik sifacna. Na el ac kaksakinyu ke insial nufon.
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;
21“Fin oasr pacl ma nga kutasrik nu sin kutena tulik mukaimtal, Ke nga etu lah fin sun nununku, nga ac kutangla,
22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
22Na lela in kotkot uh pouk; Ku lela pouk in ayukla liki finpisuk.
23For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of His majesty I could do nothing.
23Ke sripen nga sangeng ke kaiyuk lun God, Nga tia ku in oru ouiya inge.
24If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold: 'Thou art my confidence';
24“Wanginna pacl nga lulalfongi ke mwe kasrup
25If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
25Ku inse fulat ke mwe kasrup luk.
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
26Wangin pac pacl nga alu nu ke kalmen faht uh, Ku nu ke katwen malem uh.
27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand;
27Soenna oasr pacl kifusyukla nga in akfulatye ma inge, Ku ngan pasrla in akkalemye sunak luk nu selos.
28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have lied to God that is above.
28Kain ma koluk ouinge fal in kaiyuk sin nununku, nu ke misa; Mweyen ma inge aklusrongtenye God Kulana.
29If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or exulted when evil found him —
29“Nga tia wi engankin pacl mwet lokoalok luk elos keok, Ku pwarkin pacl elos sun ongoiya;
30Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse.
30Wangin pacl nga akfohkfokyela oalik ke sripen nga pre tuh elos in misa.
31If the men of my tent said not: 'Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat?'
31Mwet orekma luk nukewa etu lah Pacl nukewa nga insewowo in paing mwetsac nu in lohm sik.
32The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.
32Nga solama pac mwet fahsr nu in lohm sik, Ac tia lela elos in motul inkanek uh.
33If after the manner of men I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom —
33“Kutu mwet uh srike in okanla ma koluk lalos, Tusruktu nga tia wi okanla ma koluk luk uh.
34Because I feared the great multitude, and the most contemptible among families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door.
34Nga tia wi muta misla ku wikla in lohm sik Mweyen nga motok kas lun mwet, Ku sangeng ke kas in akkoluk lalos uh.
35Oh that I had one to hear me! — Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me — and that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
35“Mea, wanginna mwet ac ku in porongo ma nga fahk inge? Nga fulahk lah kas inge nufon kas na pwaye. Lela God Kulana Elan topukyu. “Fin simla kas ma mwet alein nu sik inge sang lainyu uh Ngan ku in liye,
36Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown.
36Nga lukun tia sensen in srupusrak in oan finpisuk, Ac filiya fin sifuk oana sie tefuro.
37I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
37Nga ac fahkak nu sin God ma nukewa ma nga oru uh, Ac tia tupwek in tu ve mutal.
38If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together;
38“Fin acn ma nga imai inge ma nga pisrala, Ku eisla sin mwet su ma la na pwaye uh —
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the tillers thereof to be disappointed —
39Ac nga fin kang mwe mongo ma kapak fin acn inge, A nga fuhlela mwet ma imaela uh in masrinsral —
40Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and noisome weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
40Na lela tuh in tia wheat ac barley pa kapak we, A in pulac na ac kokul.” Pa inge saflaiyen kas lal Job.
