< Job 34 >

1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
2 Hear my words, O all of you wise men; and give ear unto me, all of you that have knowledge.
“Lohng kas luk uh, komtal su oru mu komtal lalmwetmwet, Ac ikasla insremtal in lohngyu, komtal su pangon mu komtal etu ma nukewa.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes food.
Komtal etu mongo yu uh ke komtal ac ema uh, Tusruktu komtal tiana akilen kas lalmwetmet ke komtal lohng uh.
4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Lela kut in tukeni sulela lah pia ma pwaye uh; Ac lela kut in sifacna nunku lah pia ma wo uh.
5 For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
Mweyen Job el sifacna fahk mu wangin ma koluk lal, Ac el fahk pac mu God El tiana orek nununku suwohs nu sel.
6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
El siyuk ac fahk, ‘Ac fuka ngan kikiap mu oasr ma koluk luk? Nga arulana musalla ke kinet keik, tusruktu wanginna ma koluk luk.’
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water?
“Nu oasr mwet komtal liye oana mwet se Job uh? El oru aksruksruk lal uh ma na fisrasr, oana ke el nim kof uh.
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
El lungse asruoki nu sin mwet orekma koluk, Ac wi mwet koluk fufahsryesr.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
El fahk kut finne srike in fahsr tukun ma lungse lun God, Wanginna ma ac wo nu sesr kac.
10 Therefore hearken unto me all of you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
“Porongeyu, komtal su nunku mu oasr etauk la! Ya God Kulana El ku in oru ma sesuwos?
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
El akinsewowoye mwet uh fal nu ke orekma lalos, Ac folokin nu selos fal nu ke ouiyen moul lalos.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
God Kulana El tiana oru ma koluk; Wangin pacl El oru ma sesuwos nu sin mwet uh.
13 Who has given him a charge over the earth? or who has disposed the whole world?
Mea, God El eis ku lal sin sie na? Ya oasr pac sie su sang ku nu sel in liyaung faclu?
14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
God El fin sulela sel Elan eisla ngunal ac mongol liki mwet uh,
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.
Na mwet nukewa ma moul uh ac misa Ac sifilpa folokla nu ke kutkut.
16 If now you have understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
“Inge, komtal fin lalmwetmet, komtal lohng ma nga ac fahk uh.
17 Shall even he that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
Ya komtal fahk mu oasr mwatan God su suwoswoslana? Ya komtal nunku mu El su kulana El lain nununku suwohs?
18 Is it fit to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, All of you are ungodly?
God El ku in fahkak mwatan tokosra ac mwet leum uh Ke pacl elos oru ma koluk, ac fin wangin sripalos.
19 How much less to him that accepts not the persons of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
El tia wi mwet leum uh lac, Ku oru in wo nu sin mwet kasrup liki mwet sukasrup, Mweyen El pa orala mwet nukewa.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Sie mwet el ku in misa in kitin pacl na ke fong. God El sringilya mwet uh na elos misa; El uniya mwet ku uh oana ma wangin.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his activities.
El taran ma mwet uh oru in pacl nukewa.
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Wanginna acn ma lohsr matoltol Ku in okanla mwet koluk uh liki God.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
God El tia enenu in pakiya pacl Lun sie mwet in som tuh Elan nununku.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their position.
El tia enenu in oasr sukok se orek Tuh Elan sisla mwet kol uh ac aolulosla.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Mweyen El etu ma elos oru uh. El ac siselosla ac itungulosi ke fong uh.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
El akkeokye mwet koluk uh yen mwet nukewa ac ku in liye,
27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
Mweyen elos tila fahsr tokol, Ac elos pilesrala ma sap lal nukewa.
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.
Ke sripalos mwet sukasrup elos wowoyak ac pang nu sin God, Tuh Elan kasrelos, ac God El lohng pusren pang lalos.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
“God El fin sulela Elan tiana oru kutu ma, Wangin mwet ac ku in fahk mu oasr ma sutuu sel. El fin okanla mutal, wangin ma mwet uh ac ku in oru.
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
Wangin ma mutanfahl uh ac ku in oru In ikolya mwet ma tia etu God uh in tia leum faclos.
31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
“Job, ku kom fahkak tari ma koluk lom an nu sin God, Ac wulela kom in tia sifil orekma koluk?
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
Kom nu siyuk God Elan akkalemye nu sum ma kom sufalla kac uh, Ac insese mu kom ac tia sifilpa orekma koluk?
33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
Ke kom lain ma God El oru uh, Ya kom liye mu El ac ku in oru ma kom lungse uh? Sulela uh ac ma na lom, tia ma luk; Fahkma nu sesr ingena ma kom nunku an.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
“Kutena mwet ma kalem in nunak uh, ac ku in insese nu sik; Ac kutena mwet lalmwetmet ma lohng kas luk uh, ac ku in fahk lah
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
Job el kaskas ke lalfon lal, Ac lah wangin kalmen ma el fahk uh.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
Nunku akwoya ke ma nukewa ma Job el fahk uh; Komtal ac akilen lah el kaskas oana sie mwet koluk.
37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
El sang seakos in laesla ma koluk lal uh; El aksruksruki God ye mutasr nukewa.”
