Job 35

Bible Mutal (Kosraean)

JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)

1Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:

1Moreover Elihu answered and said:

2“Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’

2Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',

3Ku ke kom siyuk sin God, ‘Nga fin tia oru ma koluk, mea ac wo nu sik?’

3That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'

4Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.

4I will give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.

5“Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!

5Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

6Kom fin orekma koluk, God El tiana akkolukyeyuk kac. Kom fin oru ma koluk pacl pus, ya ma inge ac aklokoalokyal?

6If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?

7Ya kom kasru God kom fin arulana orek suwohs? Wangin ma God El enenu sum.

7If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?

8Mwet uh pa ac keok ke ma koluk kom oru uh, Ac ma wo kom oru uh ac kasru pac mwet.

8Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a son of man.

9“Ke akkeokyeyuk mwet uh, elos ac sasao; Ac elos pang tuh in oasr mwet kasrelos.

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

10Tuh elos tia ngetang nu sin God su oralosla, Su sang soko on in finsrak nu selos ke pacl upa nu selos.

10But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night;

11Elos tia nget nu sin God su ase etauk nu sesr, Etauk liki kutena kosro, ku won.

11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?'

12Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.

12There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

13Wangin sripen pang lalos uh; God Kulana El tiana liyalos, ku lohng pusralos.

13Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

14“Job, kom fahk mu kom tia ku in liye God; Tusruktu, kom in mongfisrasr ac tupan. Top lal nu sum uh oasr yorol.

14Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him — the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him.

15In nunak lom kom mu God El ac tiana kalyei mwet, Ac kom mu El tia arulana lohang nu ke ma koluk uh.

15And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?

16Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”

16But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
