Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
1Na Eliphaz el fahk,
2“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
2“Ku oasr sie mwet, finne mwet ma lalmwetmet emeet uh, Su oasr sripa nu sin God?
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
3Ku orekma lom fin arulana suwohs, ya ac akwoye God? Kom fin tia oru kutena ma koluk, ya ac ku in kasrel?
4Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
4Tia ke sripen kom sangeng sin God Pa oru Elan kai kom, ku nununkekom an.
5Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
5Mo, ma ke sripen arulana yokla ma koluk lom; Oayapa ke ma koluk nukewa ma kom oru an.
6For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
6Ke kom oru tuh sie mwet lim in akfalyela mani ma el ngisrala sum uh, Oana kom in sarukla nuknuk ma el nukum uh ac oru tuh elan koflufolla.
7You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
7Kom tuh srunga sang kof nimen mwet su totola, Ac sranga pac sang mwe mongo nu selos su masrinsral.
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
8Kom tuh orekmakin ku lom ac wal lom In eisla acn uh nufon.
9You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
9Kom tia falkin lah kom tia wi kasru katinmas, A kom oayapa pisre ma lun tulik mukaimtal, ac oralos koluk.
10Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
10Ke ma inge sruhf puspis raunikomla ac akola in sruokkomi, Ac inge kom muta in sangeng na lulap.
11or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
11Arulana yokla lohsr ingena, oru kom tia ku in liye, Ac sie sronot lulap afinkomla.
12“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
12“Ya God El tia muta yen fulatlana inkusrao Ac ngeti nu fin itu uh, finne itu uh oan yen fulat?
13You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
13A kom siyuk, ‘Mea God El etu? Pukunyeng uh okanulla, na El ac nununkekut fuka?’
14Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
14Kom nunku mu pukunyeng matoltol uh kosrala mutal Elan tia liye, Ke El forfor fin acn engyeng uh.
15Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
15“Ya kom wotela sum tari mu kom ac fahsrna ke inkanek Ma mwet koluk uh fahsr kac pacl nukewa uh?
16who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
16Meet liki na pacl in misa lalos, Elos pahtkakinyukla tari ke sie sronot.
17who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
17Mwet inge mwet pilesru God, Ac elos nunku mu wangin ma El ku in oru nu selos.
18Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
18Sruhk God pa tuh akinsewowoyalos ke kasrpalos — Nga tia ku in kalem ke nunak lun mwet koluk uh.
19The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
19Mwet wo uh engan, ac mwet wangin mwata elos israsr Ke elos liye lah kalyeiyuk mwet koluk uh.
20saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
20Ma nukewa lun mwet koluk uh kunausyukla, Ac e uh esukak kutena ma su lula.
21“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
21“Inge, Job, akmisye kom nu sin God, Ac nimet oral oana sie mwet lokoalok; Kom fin suk misla, na El ac akinsewowoye kom.
22Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
22Eis mwe luti ma El sot uh; Ac filiya kas lal insiom.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
23Aok, kom enenu in siskomi, ac foloko nu yurin God, Oru in safla ma koluk nukewa Ma orek in lohm sum an.
24Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
24Sisla gold lom an; Sisla nufon gold wowo lom an nu ke kapin infacl paola ingan.
25The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
25Lela tuh in God Kulana pa gold lom uh, Ac Elan oana silver lom su yolyak oan yurum an.
26For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
26Na kom fah lulalfongi God pacl nukewa, Ac kom fah etu lah mwe insewowo lom nukewa tuku sel me.
27You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
27Ke kom pre El ac topuk kom, Ac kom fah liyaung wulela nukewa ma kom orala nu sel an.
28You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
28Na ac fah wo ouiyom ke ma nukewa kom oru, Ac kalem ac fah tolak inkanek lom.
29When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
29God El sisya mwet inse fulat, Ac molela mwet pusisel.
30He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
30God El ac fah molikomla fin wangin ma sufal lom, Ac fin pwaye orekma lom.”
