Job 23
1 THEN Job answered and said,
Na Job el fahk,
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
“Nga srakna torkaskas ac lain God; Nga tia ku in kutongya sasao luk.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
Seyal nga ke etu lah nga ac konalak ya, Ac lah nga ac ut ya nu yen El muta we.
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Nga lukun fahkang na nunak luk nu sel Ac takunang nufon ma nga pulakin mu pwaye sik.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Nga ke etu lah mea El ac fahk, Ac lah El ac topukyu fuka.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
Ya God El ac lainyu ke ku lal nufon? Mo, El ac porongo na ke nga ac kaskas uh.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
In pacl sac El ac engan in lohng sramsram luk, mweyen nga inse pwayena nu sel; Na El ac fah akkalemye lah El tuleyula, ingela nwe tok.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
“Nga tuh sokol kutulap, tuh El wangin we; Nga tia pacna konalak ke nga sokol roto ah.
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
El tuh orekma na epang ac eir, Tuh nga tia pacna liyal we.
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Ne ouinge a God El etu nufon acn nga forfor we; El fin srikeyu, El ac konauk lah nga nasnasna.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Nga oaru na in fahsr ke inkanek ma El sulela nu sik uh, Ac tiana kuhfla liki.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Nga oru na ma El sapkin pacl nukewa; Nga fahsrna ke ma lungse lal ac tia lungse luk sifacna.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
“God El tiana ekyek. Wangin mwet ku in kifasulla, Ku tulokinilya liki ma El lungse oru uh.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
El ac oralana ma El akou in oru nu sik; Ako se lal inge siena sin ma pus ma El ke oru nu sik uh.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Nga arulana rarrar ac sangeng ye mutal.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
God pa arulana akmunasyela nunak luk uh. El su Kulana El arulana aksangengyeyu.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Finne lohsr uh kosrala mutuk, Nga tiana misla in fahk nunak luk uh.
