Job 8
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1Na Bildad el fahk,
2How long wilt thou speak these things, seeing that the words of thy mouth are as a mighty wind?
2“Safla sramsram in eng tuhtuh lom an?
3Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
3God El tia wi kifasla nununku suwohs lal uh; El tia ku in tia oru ma pwaye.
4If thy children sinned against Him, He delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
4Sahp oasr ma koluk tulik nutum ah tuh oru lain God. Pwanang El sang kaiyuk fal nu selos.
5If thou wouldest seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
5Inge wona kom in forla ac siyuk sin God Kulana Elan kasrekom;
6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now He would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
6Fin pwaye lah kom suwohs ac nasnas na, Na God El ac kasrekom. Ac folokonot mwet in lohm sum ac mwe kasrup lom nukewa tuh in mwe srui nu sum.
7And though thy beginning was small, yet thy end should greatly increase.
7Mwe kasrup nukewa ma El eisla liki kom Ac tia apkuran nu ke ma El ac sifilpa folokonot nu sum.
8For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out —
8“Srike liye luman lalmwetmet in pacl meet ah; Ac nunku ke ma pwaye su mwet lasr meet ah elos etala.
9For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow —
9Moul lasr uh fototo, ac wanginna ma kut etu; Kut ac wanginla oana ke lul uh sa na in wanginla.
10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
10A lela mwet matu lalmwetmet lasr meet ah in luti kom; Porongo ma elos fahk uh:
11Can the rush shoot up without mire? Can the reed-grass grow without water?
11“Loa uh tia ku in kapak yen wangin kof we; Tia ku in koneyukyak sayen acn furarrar uh.
12Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
12Fin wanginla kof, na loa uh pa ac uli emeet, Ke srakna mangosr ac soenna fal in orekmakinyuk.
13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the godless man shall perish;
13Mwet ma forla liki God uh elos oana loa inge; Finsrak lalos uh ac wanginla ke pacl se na ma elos mulkunla God.
14Whose confidence is gossamer, and whose trust is a spider's web.
14Elos sulela ahng lun pwepenu uh tuh in nien wikla lalos.
15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand; he shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
15Ku elos fin fungyang ke sie ang inge, ya ac ku in tapkulosyak? Ac elos fin sruok soko koa ke ang inge, ya ac ku in kasrelos tuyak?
16He is green before the sun, and his shoots go forth over his garden.
16“Mwet koluk uh elos furarak in ima uh, Oana pulah su furarak ye faht uh.
17His roots are wrapped about the heap, he beholdeth the place of stones.
17Okah kaclos uh ac punla eot uh, Ac sruokani ku eot nukewa.
18If he be destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him: 'I have not seen thee.'
18Na fin fifyak elos, Ac wangin inkelos yen elos tuh oan we meet.
19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others spring.
19Aok, pwana inge luman engan lun mwet koluk uh; Oasr pac mwet saya ac sifil tuku ac aolulosla.
20Behold, God will not cast away an innocent man, neither will He uphold the evil-doers;
20“Tusruktu God El tia ku in ngetla liki mwet su inse pwaye nu sel, Ac El tia ku in kasru mwet koluk uh.
21Till He fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting.
21El ac fah lela kom in sifilpa israsr ac sasa,
22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
22Tusruktu El ac fah aklusrongtenye mwet su srungakom, Ac lohm sin mwet koluk uh ac fah wanginla.”
