Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Job answered,
1Na Job el fahk,
2“No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
2“Aok, komtal aolla pusren mwet uh. Komtal fin misa, na lalmwetmet ac fah wi komtal na misa.
3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?
3Tusruktu oasr pacna ma nga etu oana komtal; Wanginna ma nga ten liki komtal kac; Mwet nukewa etu ma komtal fahk an.
4I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
4Finne mwet kawuk luk, elos isrunyu pac in pacl inge; Nga ne suwoswosna ac wangin mwetik, a elos isrun yu pacna; Tusruktu, oasr pacl God El tuh topuk pre luk.
5In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
5Komtal tiana pula ma upa, a komtal isrunyu; Komtal sringilya mwet se ma apkuran in ikori uh.
6The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.
6Mwet pisrapasr ac mwet koluk elos mutana in misla, A pwayena god lalos pa ku lalos sifacna.
7“But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
7“Finne won ku kosro lemnak uh, oasr pac ma elos ku in luti nu sumtal;
8Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you.
8Siyuk lalmwetmet sin ma orakrak fin faclu ac ik in meoa uh.
9Who doesn’t know that in all these, the LORD’s hand has done this,
9Elos nukewa etu lah poun God pa oralosla uh.
10in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
10God pa kol moul lun ma El orala inge; Moul lun mwet nukewa oan ye ku lal.
11Doesn’t the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
11Tusruktu, insremtal engan in lohng kas uh, Oana ke loumtal lungse ema mwe mongo.
12With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
12“Lalmwetmet oasr sin mwet matu uh, Ke elos matuoh, yohk etauk lalos.
13“With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
13Tusruktu God El sisani kewa lalmwetmet ac ku; El liyaten ac sessesla ke lalmwetmet.
14Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
14God El fin ikruiya sie ma, su ku in sifilpa tulokunak? God El fin kapriya sie mwet, su ac ku in tulala?
15Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
15Faclu ac paola God El fin tulokinya af uh; Sronot uh tuku ke El fuhlela af upa uh.
16With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
16“God El ku ac El kutangla pacl nukewa; Mwet kikiap ac mwet ma kiapweyukla kewa oan ye ku lal.
17He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
17El eisla nunak lalmwetmet lun mwet leum, Ac oru mwet kol uh in orekma oana mwet lalfon.
18He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
18El sisla tokosra uh liki nien muta fulat lalos, ac oru tuh elos in mwet kapir;
19He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
19El akpusiselye mwet tol ac mwet ma oasr wal la uh.
20He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
20El kaliya oalin mwet lulalfongiyuk uh in tia kaskas, Ac El eisla lalmwetmet lun mwet matu lukelos.
21He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
21El akmwekinye mwet leum uh Ac tulokinya ku lun mwet kol uh.
22He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
22El tolak yen lohsr, aok yen lohsr lun misa.
23He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
23El oru kutu mutunfacl uh in yohk ac pwengpeng, Na El sifilpa kutangulosla ac kunauselosla.
24He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
24El oru mwet leum lalos in lalfonla Ac fuhlela elos forfor oana mwet fohsak ac tuhlac;
25They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
25Elos kahlimin acn lohsr uh, ac tukulkul oana mwet sruhi uh.
