Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
1Na Eliphaz el topkol ac fahk,
2“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
2“Kaskas wel, Job. Kom kaskas wel!
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
3Wangin mwet lalmwetmet ku in fahk kain kas ma kom fahk ingan, Ku sifacna loangel ke kain kaskas lalfon ingan;
4Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
4Fin ac wi nunak lom an, na wangin mwet ac sangeng sin God; Wangin pac mwet ac pre nu sel.
5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
5Moul koluk lom an kalem ke luman sramsram lom ingan; Kom srike na in sifacna molikomla ke kas usrnguk lom ingan.
6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
6Tia enenu nga in akkolukye kom; Kas nukewa lom ingan sifacna fahkkomyak.
7“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
7“Mea, kom nunku mu kom pa mwet se ma isusla oemeet uh? Mea, kom oasr ke pacl se God El orala fineol ah?
8Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
8Ya kom tuh lohng ma God El akoo Elan oru ah? Mea, lalmwetmet lun mwet uh ma lom mukena?
9What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
9Kut etu nufon ma kom etu an.
10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.
10Kut eis etauk lasr sin mwet ma fiayala aunsifa — Su isusla meet liki papa tomom ah.
11Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
11“God El ke akwoye kom; efu kom ku srangesr lohng? Kut sramsram in Inen God ke pusra na wo ac kulang.
12Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
12A kom folak ac ngetnget in kasrkusrak nu sesr.
13that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
13Kom kasrkusrakak sin God, ac fahk kas na upa lainul.
14What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
14“Mea oasr mwet ku in arulana mutal? Ya oasr mwet suwohs ye mutun God?
15Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
15Finne lipufan lun God uh, El tia pacna lulalfongelos; Aok, elos tia pac mutal ye mutun God.
16how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
16Ac mwet uh nim ma koluk uh oana kof uh; Aok pwaye, mwet uh arulana fohkfok, ac wangin sripa.
17“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare
17“Inge Job, wona kom in porongeyu ke ma nga etu uh.
18(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
18Mwet lalmwetmet elos luti nu sik ke ma pwaye Su elos eis sin papa tumalos meet ah, Ac wanginna ma lukma elos okanla.
19to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
19Wangin mwetsac muta in facl selos; Pwanang wangin mwet in pwanulosla liki God.
20the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
20“Sie mwet koluk su akkeokye mwet saya uh Ac fah mutana in keok ac mwaiok ke lusen moul lal nufon.
21A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
21Pusra in aksangeng ac fah woi insracl, Ac mwet pisrapasr ac fah pisre ma lal ke pacl el nunku mu el mutana in misla.
22He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
22Wangin finsrak lal in kaingla liki lohsr uh, Mweyen oasr cutlass se oanna akola in unilya,
23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23Ac won vulture uh soano na in kangla manol. El etu lah pacl fahsru lal uh ac lohsr;
24Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
24Ongoiya oan soanel in sruokilya, Oana sie tokosra su akola nu ke mweun.
25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
25“Pa inge safla lun sie mwet Su srisrngi paol nu in mutun God, Ac kena lain El su Kulana.
26he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,
26Mwet se ingan el ac likkekelana Ac us mwe loang natul, ac yuyang in lain God,
27because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
27El finne arulana yohk Ac ratratla ke mwe kasrup.
28He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
28“Pa ingan mwet se ma tuh sruokya siti pus, Ac eisla lohm ma mwet la uh kaingla liki; Tusruktu mweun ac fah kunausla siti ac lohm inge.
29He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
29Kasrup lal uh ac tia oan paht; Wangin kutena sin ma lal inge ac fah oan nwe tok. Finne ngunal sifacna, ac fah wanginla pac,
30He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
30Ac el ac fah tia ku in kaingla liki lohsr uh. El ac fah oana soko sak Su lah kac uh firiryak ke e, Ac ros kac uh ukukla ke eng uh.
31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
31El fin wella ac lulalfongi ke ma koluk, Na el ac fah kosrani ke ma koluk.
32It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
32Meet liki el sun pacl in safla lal, el ac uli; El ac uli oana sie lesak, ac tia ku in sifil folfolla insroa.
33He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
33El ac fah oana soko fain ma fahko kac uh mangosr na putatla; Ac oana soko sak olive ma putatla ros kac uh.
34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
34Ac fah wangin fwilin tulik nutin un mwet ma tia akfulatye God, Ac e ac fah furreak lohm ma musaiyukla ke mani in eyeinse.
35They conceive mischief and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
35Mwet inge pa muta akoo in oru mwe lokoalok ac ma koluk; Ac insialos sessesla ke kutasrik pacl nukewa.”
