Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
1Tukun wik sac, na Job el fah kasla ac selngawi len se ma osweyukla el.
2Job answered:
2El fahk,
3“Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
3“O God, selngawiya fong se ma srimetak nga ah; Ac len se ma osweyukla nga!
4Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
4O God, ekulla len sac nu ke lohsr lulap. Nimet kom sifil esam len sac; Ac tia pac lela tuh in oasr kalem tolak len sac.
5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
5Oru tuh in sie len ohkok ac lohsr matoltol; Afinya ke pukunyeng, ac kosrala kalmen faht uh liki.
6As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
6Eela fong sac liki yac uh, Ac tia lela in sifil oekyuk.
7Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
7Oru tuh in wangin koanon fong sac, Sie fong wangin pusren engan lohngyuk.
8Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
8Lela tuh mwet inutnut in selngawi len sac, Elos su etu in pirakak kosro sulallal Leviathan.
9Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
9Lela tuh itu Nasren in tia tolak, Ac oru tuh lohsr lun fong sac in lohsr na, ac tia sifil kalmelik.
10because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
10Selngawiya fong sac lah pwanang nga isusla, Ac oru nga pula ma upa ac keok.
11“Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
11“Nga ke ngan misa na insien nina kiuk ah, Ku ke pacl se na ma osweyukla nga ah.
12Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
12Mwe mea nina kiuk ah in sruokyuwi finyepal? Mwe mea elan katitiyu?
13For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
13Nga funu misa na in pacl sac, nga lukun mongla na in pacl inge,
14with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
14Oanna motul oana tokosra, ku mwet leum Su sifil musaela inkul matu sin mwet leum uh.
15or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
15Nga lukun motul na oana fisrak Su nwakla lohm selos ke gold ac silver,
16or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
16Ku motul oana sie tulik fusr ma misa na meet liki el isusla uh.
17There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
17In kulyuk uh, mwet koluk ac tila orekma koluk, Ac mwet orekma su totola elos eis pacl in mongla lalos ke elos oan in kulyuk uh.
18There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
18Mwet sruoh ma misa tari elos muta in misla, Ac elos sukosok liki pusren sapsap ac kas kou.
19The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
19Mwet nukewa ac sun misa — mwet pwengpeng oayapa mwet tia eteyu — Ac mwet foko elos sukosokla.
20“Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
20“Efu ku kom oru tuh mwet uh in mutana in moul keok? Efu ku kom sang kalem in tolak mwet asor?
21who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
21Elos tupanna elos in misa, a elos tiana misa. Elos lungse kulyuk uh liki kutena mwe kasrup.
22who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
22Elos ac tiana engan nwe ke na elos misa ac pukpuki.
23Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
23God El okanlana ma ac sikyak nu selos tok uh, Ac El kosralosla tuh elos in tia ku in oru kutena ma.
24For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
24Nga tia mongo — nga tung na, Ac nga tia ku in kutongya sasao luk.
25For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to me.
25Ma nukewa ma nga sangeng ac sensen kac uh sikyak.
26I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”
26Wangin misla nu sik, wangin mongla luk, Ac wangin saflaiyen mwe lokoalok nu sik.”
