Job 10
1 “Nga totola ac srungala moul. Lohng pusren torkaskas toasr luk.
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; 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 say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why thou contendest 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 thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Ku liye lom u oana liye lasr uh?
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Ya moul lom uh fototo oana moul lun mwet uh?
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man’s days,
6 Efu ku kom ke kom in sokani na ma koluk nga oru uh Ac iluseni na ma koluk luk uh?
That thou enquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 Kom etu la wangin ma sufal luk Ac kom etu pac la wangin mwet ku in moliyula liki kom.
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thy hand.
8 “Poum pa lumayula ac oreyula, A inge po na ma oreyula ingan pa kunausyula.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me in all my parts; yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Esam lah kom oreyula ke fohk kle; Ya kom ac ilyuwi nga in sifilpa folok nu ke fohk?
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10 Kom tu sang ku nu sin papa tumuk elan oreyula; Kom akkapyeyuyak insien nina kiuk.
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Kom lumahla monuk ke sri ac alko, Ac nokomla sri uh ke ikwa ac kolo.
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Kom ase nu sik moul ac lungse kawil, Ac karinginyuk lom pa oru nga moul na.
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath 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.
And these things hast thou hid in thy heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 Kom mutana tawi lah nga ac orala kutena ma koluk Kom in mau tiana nunak munas nu sik.
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt 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 be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou 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.
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon 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.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against 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 hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had given up the ghost, 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.
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Nga akuranna som, ac nga ac tia sifil foloko — Som nu ke sie acn su lohsr ac yohk asor we,
Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 Sie acn su lohsr ac lullul ac yohk fohs we, Acn se su kalem we uh lohsr pac.”
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
