Job 8
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
Na Bildad el fahk,
2 How long wilt thou speak these things, seeing that the words of thy mouth are as a mighty wind?
“Safla sramsram in eng tuhtuh lom an?
3 Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
God El tia wi kifasla nununku suwohs lal uh; El tia ku in tia oru ma pwaye.
4 If thy children sinned against Him, He delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
Sahp oasr ma koluk tulik nutum ah tuh oru lain God. Pwanang El sang kaiyuk fal nu selos.
5 If thou wouldest seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
Inge wona kom in forla ac siyuk sin God Kulana Elan kasrekom;
6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now He would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
Fin pwaye lah kom suwohs ac nasnas na, Na God El ac kasrekom. Ac folokonot mwet in lohm sum ac mwe kasrup lom nukewa tuh in mwe srui nu sum.
7 And though thy beginning was small, yet thy end should greatly increase.
Mwe kasrup nukewa ma El eisla liki kom Ac tia apkuran nu ke ma El ac sifilpa folokonot nu sum.
8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out —
“Srike liye luman lalmwetmet in pacl meet ah; Ac nunku ke ma pwaye su mwet lasr meet ah elos etala.
9 For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow —
Moul lasr uh fototo, ac wanginna ma kut etu; Kut ac wanginla oana ke lul uh sa na in wanginla.
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
A lela mwet matu lalmwetmet lasr meet ah in luti kom; Porongo ma elos fahk uh:
11 Can the rush shoot up without mire? Can the reed-grass grow without water?
“Loa uh tia ku in kapak yen wangin kof we; Tia ku in koneyukyak sayen acn furarrar uh.
12 Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
Fin wanginla kof, na loa uh pa ac uli emeet, Ke srakna mangosr ac soenna fal in orekmakinyuk.
13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the godless man shall perish;
Mwet ma forla liki God uh elos oana loa inge; Finsrak lalos uh ac wanginla ke pacl se na ma elos mulkunla God.
14 Whose confidence is gossamer, and whose trust is a spider's web.
Elos sulela ahng lun pwepenu uh tuh in nien wikla lalos.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand; he shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
Ku elos fin fungyang ke sie ang inge, ya ac ku in tapkulosyak? Ac elos fin sruok soko koa ke ang inge, ya ac ku in kasrelos tuyak?
16 He is green before the sun, and his shoots go forth over his garden.
“Mwet koluk uh elos furarak in ima uh, Oana pulah su furarak ye faht uh.
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, he beholdeth the place of stones.
Okah kaclos uh ac punla eot uh, Ac sruokani ku eot nukewa.
18 If he be destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him: 'I have not seen thee.'
Na fin fifyak elos, Ac wangin inkelos yen elos tuh oan we meet.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others spring.
Aok, pwana inge luman engan lun mwet koluk uh; Oasr pac mwet saya ac sifil tuku ac aolulosla.
20 Behold, God will not cast away an innocent man, neither will He uphold the evil-doers;
“Tusruktu God El tia ku in ngetla liki mwet su inse pwaye nu sel, Ac El tia ku in kasru mwet koluk uh.
21 Till He fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting.
El ac fah lela kom in sifilpa israsr ac sasa,
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
Tusruktu El ac fah aklusrongtenye mwet su srungakom, Ac lohm sin mwet koluk uh ac fah wanginla.”
