Job 17

World English Bible

Bible Mutal (Kosraean)

1“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.

1“Inge moul luk uh apkuran in safla. Arulana upa nu sik in momong; Wangin ma lula nu sik sayen kulyuk luk, su akoeyukla soaneyu.

2Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

2Nga liye lah mwet nukewa arulana aksruksrukeyu.

3“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

3Nga kaskas pwayena, O God. Nunak munas, lulalfongi kas luk. Wangin mwet ac ku in iweyula fin tia kom.

4For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.

4Kom kaliya nunak lalos, pwanang elos tia ku in nunkauk kutena ma pwaye; Nimet lela elos in kutangyula inge.

5He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.

5Soakas matu se fahk mu sie mwet fin kiapwela mwet kawuk lal ke sripen mani, Na tulik natul fah eis mwata ac keok kac.

6“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

6Ac inge mwet uh orekmakin soakas se inge in lainyu; Elos tuku ac acni nu in mutuk.

7My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

7Asor luk apkuranna in konela mutuk; Pouk ac niuk arulana minini oana lul uh.

8Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.

8Mwet ma sifacna nunku mu elos suwos uh elos lut, Ac elos nukewa kasrkusrak ac fahk mu nga tia lulalfongi God.

9Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

9Elos su sifacna pangon mu elos mwet suwoswos, Yokyokelikna nunkeya selos mu pwaye selos.

10But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.

10Tusruktu elos nukewa fin tuku ac tu ye mutuk, Nga lukun tia ku in konauk mu oasr siefanna selos lalmwetmet.

11My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

11“Len luk uh somla; ako luk uh tia orekla; Ac finsrak luk uh wanginla.

12They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.

12A mwet kawuk luk uh fahk mu fong uh kalem; Elos fahk mu kalem uh apkuranme, Tusruk nga etu lah nga srakna muta in lohsr.

13If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

13Finsrak sefanna luk pa facl sin mwet misa, Yen su nga ac fah ona ac motul in lohsr uh.

14if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

14Nga ac fah pangon kulyuk uh pa papa tumuk, Ac wet ma ac kangyula uh, Nga ac fah pangon mu nina kiuk ac tamtael luk.

15where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?

15Pia mwe finsrak luk uh? Su ku in liyauk lah oasr oya?

16Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”

16Finsrak uh ac fah tia ku in wiyu som Ke nga ac oatui nu in facl sin mwet misa.”
