< Job 10 >

1 “Nga totola ac srungala moul. Lohng pusren torkaskas toasr luk.
“My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 O God, nimet wotela in koluk nu sik. Fahkma nu sik la mea se nununkeyuk nga kac uh?
I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
3 Mea, wo ke kom arulana akkeokyeyu, Ac kwase ma kom sifacna orala, Na tari kom israsr ke pwapa sulal ma mwet koluk elos oru?
Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 Ku liye lom u oana liye lasr uh?
Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
5 Ya moul lom uh fototo oana moul lun mwet uh?
Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
6 Efu ku kom ke kom in sokani na ma koluk nga oru uh Ac iluseni na ma koluk luk uh?
that you enquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 Kom etu la wangin ma sufal luk Ac kom etu pac la wangin mwet ku in moliyula liki kom.
Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 “Poum pa lumayula ac oreyula, A inge po na ma oreyula ingan pa kunausyula.
“‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
9 Esam lah kom oreyula ke fohk kle; Ya kom ac ilyuwi nga in sifilpa folok nu ke fohk?
Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
10 Kom tu sang ku nu sin papa tumuk elan oreyula; Kom akkapyeyuyak insien nina kiuk.
Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Kom lumahla monuk ke sri ac alko, Ac nokomla sri uh ke ikwa ac kolo.
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Kom ase nu sik moul ac lungse kawil, Ac karinginyuk lom pa oru nga moul na.
You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 Tusruktu inge nga etu lah kom ne oru ma inge, A kom nuna akoo na in lukma mu kom ac akkeokyeyu.
Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
14 Kom mutana tawi lah nga ac orala kutena ma koluk Kom in mau tiana nunak munas nu sik.
if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Nga ac tufahna orala ma koluk se, na kom ase mwe ongoiya nu sik, Ac pacl nga oru ma wo uh, wanginna akilenya. Nga arulana keok, ac yoklana mwekin luk.
If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
16 Fin tufahna oasr ma se nga orala tuh wo ouiya, Kom ac sukyu oana lion soko; Kutu pacl uh kom ac oru ma usrnguk in tuh akkeokyeyu.
If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 Pacl nukewa kom oru in oasr mwet loh lom in lainyu; Kasrkusrak lom sik uh nuna yokyokelik na; Pacl nukewa kom ac suk ouiya sasu in sang lainyu.
You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
18 “O God, efu ku kom tuh lela in osweyukla nga? Saok ngan tuh misa na meet liki mwet uh liyeyu ah.
“‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
19 Nga funu suwoslana liki insien nina kiuk ah nwe ke inkulyuk uh, lukun wona Ac funu tiana osweyukla nga lukun wo pacna.
I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Mea, moul luk uh ac tia apkuran in safla? Tari, fahla likiyu! Lela nga in insewowokin kitin pacl lula luk uh.
Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 Nga akuranna som, ac nga ac tia sifil foloko — Som nu ke sie acn su lohsr ac yohk asor we,
before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 Sie acn su lohsr ac lullul ac yohk fohs we, Acn se su kalem we uh lohsr pac.”
the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”
