Job 9
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Job answered and said:
1Na Job el topuk ac fahk,
2Of a truth I know that it is so; and how can man be just with God?
2Aok, nga lohng nufon ma ingan tari. Tusruktu ma ya mwet se ac ku in eis kutangla el fin lain God in pacl in nununku?
3If one should desire to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one of a thousand.
3Kut ac alein fuka nu sel? El ku in siyuk tausin mwe siyuk Ma mwet uh tiana ku in topokla.
4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against Him, and prospered?
4God El arulana lalmwetmet ac kulana; Wangin mwet ku in alein nu sel.
5Who removeth the mountains, and they know it not, when He overturneth them in His anger.
5El ku in moklela na eol uh in kitin pacl, ac wangin eteya, Ac kunausla eol inge ke ku lun kasrkusrak lal.
6Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
6God El supwama kusrusr lulap ac mokleak infohk uh; El osrokak sru lulap ma loangeak faclu.
7Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
7El ku in sikulya faht uh in tia takak, Ac oru itu uh in tia kalem ke fong.
8Who alone stretcheth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
8Wangin mwet tuh wi God laknelik kusrao, Ku futungya fintukun ma sulallal inkof uh.
9Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
9God El oakiya kais sie u in itu inkusrao — su orala petsa ke luman Bear Lulap soko, Mwet Sru Kosro se, ac Tamtael itkosr, oayapa itu nu epang.
10Who doeth great things past finding out; yea, marvellous things without number.
10Kut tia ku in kalem ke orekma usrnguk lal uh, Ac mwenmen ma El oru inge wangin safla kac.
11Lo, He goeth by me, and I see Him not. He passeth on also, but I perceive Him not.
11“God El fufahsryesr ye mutuk, a nga tia ku in liyal.
12Behold, He snatcheth away, who can hinder Him? Who will say unto Him: 'What doest Thou?'
12El eis ma El lungse, ac wangin mwet ku in kutongilya; Wangin mwet ku in fahk, ‘Mea kom oru an?’
13God will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of Rahab did stoop under Him.
13Kasrkusrak lun God uh tia ku in ekla. El kunausla mwet lokoalok lal Su kasrel Rahab, ma sulallal inkof uh, ke Rahab el lainul.
14How much less shall I answer Him, and choose out my arguments with Him?
14Ke ma inge, nga ac konauk fuka kas in sang topkol?
15Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to Him that contendeth with me.
15Finne wangin ma sufal luk, pwayena ma nga ku in oru Pa nga in siyuk ke pakoten sin God, su nununkeyu.
16If I had called, and He had answered me; yet would I not believe that He would hearken unto my voice —
16Tusruktu, El finne lela nga in kaskas, Nga tia lulalfongi mu El ac porongeyu.
17He that would break me with a tempest, and multiply my wounds without cause;
17El supwama paka upa in tuh sringilyu ac kanteya monuk, Ke na wangin sripa.
18That would not suffer me to take my breath, but fill me with bitterness.
18El tia ase pacl in momong luk; A El nwakla moul luk ke mwe keok upa.
19If it be a matter of strength, lo, He is mighty! and if of justice, who will appoint me a time?
19Ya nga ac srike in lainul? Ku nga ku in lain God? Ya nga ac usalak nu ke nununku? Mea, oasr mwet ku in oru Elan som?
20Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me; though I be innocent, He shall prove me perverse.
20Moul luk uh nasnasna ac nga inse pwayena nu sel, tusruktu kas luk uh oru oana in oasr koluk luk, Ac oana in ma nukewa nga fahk uh ma ac akkolukyeyu.
21I am innocent — I regard not myself, I despise my life.
21Wangin ma sufal luk, tuh nga mansis na. Nga arulana srungala moul luk.
22It is all one — therefore I say: He destroyeth the innocent and the wicked.
22Wangin sripen ma nukewa. God El ac kunauskutla, finne oasr ma koluk lasr ku wangin.
23If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the guiltless.
23Fin mwet wangin ma sufal la se misa in kitin pacl na, Na God El ac isrun.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if it be not He, who then is it?
24God El sang faclu nu inpoun mwet sulallal. El oru mwet nununku uh kewa in sulongunla. Fin tia El pa oru ouinge uh, na su?
25Now my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away, they see no good.
25“Len luk uh kainglana, ac wangin sie sin len inge wo.
26They are passed away as the swift ships; as the vulture that swoopeth on the prey.
26Moul luk uh kasrusr mui oana oak soko ma mui oemeet uh, Oana luman mui lun sie eagle ke el ac pwesrouli nu fin soko rabbit.
27If I say: 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer',
27Nga fin ac fahk mu nga ac mulkunla ma nga toasr kac uh, Ac srike in ekulla ngetnget asor luk in pwar;
28I am afraid of all my pains, I know that Thou wilt not hold me guiltless.
28Tusruktu nga esamak mwe keok nukewa luk ac nga sangeng Mweyen nga etu lah God El srakna pangon mu oasr ma sufal luk.
29I shall be condemned; why then do I labour in vain?
29Ke nunkeyuk mu oasr ma sufal luk uh, na mwe mea nga in suk?
30If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
30Wangin soap ac ku in ohlla ma koluk luk uh.
31Yet wilt Thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
31God El sisyuyang nu in sie luf na fohkfok, Ne nuknuk nga nukum inge, a mwekyekinyu pac.
32For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in judgment.
32Funu mwet se pa God, nga lukun ku in topkol, Usalak nu in nununku ac oru aksuwos lasr uh we.
33There is no arbiter betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
33Tusruktu wangin mwet ku in tu inmasrlosr Ac nununkekut kewa.
34Let Him take His rod away from me, and let not His terror make me afraid;
34Tari, nimet nununkeyu, O God! Sruokya mwe aksangeng lom an likiyu!
35Then would I speak, and not fear Him; for I am not so with myself.
35Nga tia sangeng. Nga ac kaskas, Mweyen nga etu insiuk sifacna.
