Job 9
1 Na Job el topuk ac fahk,
Then Job answered,
2 Aok, nga lohng nufon ma ingan tari. Tusruktu ma ya mwet se ac ku in eis kutangla el fin lain God in pacl in nununku?
"Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
3 Kut ac alein fuka nu sel? El ku in siyuk tausin mwe siyuk Ma mwet uh tiana ku in topokla.
If he is pleased to contend with him, he can't answer him one time in a thousand.
4 God El arulana lalmwetmet ac kulana; Wangin mwet ku in alein nu sel.
For he is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
5 El ku in moklela na eol uh in kitin pacl, ac wangin eteya, Ac kunausla eol inge ke ku lun kasrkusrak lal.
He removes the mountains, and they do not know it, when he overturns them in his anger.
6 God El supwama kusrusr lulap ac mokleak infohk uh; El osrokak sru lulap ma loangeak faclu.
He shakes the earth out of its place. Its pillars tremble.
7 El ku in sikulya faht uh in tia takak, Ac oru itu uh in tia kalem ke fong.
He commands the sun, and it doesn't rise, and seals up the stars.
8 Wangin mwet tuh wi God laknelik kusrao, Ku futungya fintukun ma sulallal inkof uh.
He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 God El oakiya kais sie u in itu inkusrao — su orala petsa ke luman Bear Lulap soko, Mwet Sru Kosro se, ac Tamtael itkosr, oayapa itu nu epang.
He makes Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, and the chambers of the south.
10 Kut tia ku in kalem ke orekma usrnguk lal uh, Ac mwenmen ma El oru inge wangin safla kac.
He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.
11 “God El fufahsryesr ye mutuk, a nga tia ku in liyal.
Look, he goes by me, and I do not see him. He passes on also, but I do not perceive him.
12 El eis ma El lungse, ac wangin mwet ku in kutongilya; Wangin mwet ku in fahk, ‘Mea kom oru an?’
Look, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, 'What are you doing?'
13 Kasrkusrak lun God uh tia ku in ekla. El kunausla mwet lokoalok lal Su kasrel Rahab, ma sulallal inkof uh, ke Rahab el lainul.
"God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
14 Ke ma inge, nga ac konauk fuka kas in sang topkol?
How much less shall I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?
15 Finne wangin ma sufal luk, pwayena ma nga ku in oru Pa nga in siyuk ke pakoten sin God, su nununkeyu.
Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn't answer him. I would make petition to my judge.
16 Tusruktu, El finne lela nga in kaskas, Nga tia lulalfongi mu El ac porongeyu.
If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn't believe that he listened to my voice.
17 El supwama paka upa in tuh sringilyu ac kanteya monuk, Ke na wangin sripa.
For he bruises me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 El tia ase pacl in momong luk; A El nwakla moul luk ke mwe keok upa.
He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19 Ya nga ac srike in lainul? Ku nga ku in lain God? Ya nga ac usalak nu ke nununku? Mea, oasr mwet ku in oru Elan som?
If it is a matter of strength, look, he is mighty. And if of justice, who will summon him?
20 Moul luk uh nasnasna ac nga inse pwayena nu sel, tusruktu kas luk uh oru oana in oasr koluk luk, Ac oana in ma nukewa nga fahk uh ma ac akkolukyeyu.
Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I am blameless, it shall prove me perverse.
21 Wangin ma sufal luk, tuh nga mansis na. Nga arulana srungala moul luk.
I am blameless. I do not regard myself. I despise my life.
22 Wangin sripen ma nukewa. God El ac kunauskutla, finne oasr ma koluk lasr ku wangin.
"It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
23 Fin mwet wangin ma sufal la se misa in kitin pacl na, Na God El ac isrun.
If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
24 God El sang faclu nu inpoun mwet sulallal. El oru mwet nununku uh kewa in sulongunla. Fin tia El pa oru ouinge uh, na su?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
25 “Len luk uh kainglana, ac wangin sie sin len inge wo.
"Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away, they see no good,
26 Moul luk uh kasrusr mui oana oak soko ma mui oemeet uh, Oana luman mui lun sie eagle ke el ac pwesrouli nu fin soko rabbit.
They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
27 Nga fin ac fahk mu nga ac mulkunla ma nga toasr kac uh, Ac srike in ekulla ngetnget asor luk in pwar;
If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;'
28 Tusruktu nga esamak mwe keok nukewa luk ac nga sangeng Mweyen nga etu lah God El srakna pangon mu oasr ma sufal luk.
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
29 Ke nunkeyuk mu oasr ma sufal luk uh, na mwe mea nga in suk?
I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
30 Wangin soap ac ku in ohlla ma koluk luk uh.
If I wash myself with snow water, and cleanse my hands with lye,
31 God El sisyuyang nu in sie luf na fohkfok, Ne nuknuk nga nukum inge, a mwekyekinyu pac.
yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes shall abhor me.
32 Funu mwet se pa God, nga lukun ku in topkol, Usalak nu in nununku ac oru aksuwos lasr uh we.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
33 Tusruktu wangin mwet ku in tu inmasrlosr Ac nununkekut kewa.
There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
34 Tari, nimet nununkeyu, O God! Sruokya mwe aksangeng lom an likiyu!
Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
35 Nga tia sangeng. Nga ac kaskas, Mweyen nga etu insiuk sifacna.
then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.
