Job 29
1 MOREOVER Job continued his parable, and said,
Na Job el sifil mutawauk in kaskas:
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
“Saok moul luk uh in ku in sifil folokla Oana ke pacl se God El tuh karinginyu ah.
3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
In pacl sac God El tuh wiyu na pacl nukewa, Ac ase kalem nu sik ke nga fufahsryesr in lohsr uh.
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
In len ingo pa nga tuh arulana fokoko, Ac asruoki lun God nu sik arulana karingin inkul sik wo.
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
God Kulana El tuh arulana wiyu, Ac tulik nutik nukewa elos muta yuruk.
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
Yohk sronin titi lun cow ac nani nutik, Ac eot in itat olive nu ke oil, yohk oil soror kac.
7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
Pacl nukewa ma mwet matu in siti uh ac toeni, Ac nga eis acn sik inmasrlolos uh,
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
Mwet fusr uh ac sa na sekinyula elos fin liyeyuyak, Ac mukul matu elos tuyak in akkalemye akfulat lalos nu sik.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Mwet kol uh ac tui pac tila sramsram;
10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Finne mwet ma fulat selos uh, ac misla pac.
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
“Mwet nukewa su liyeyu meet, ku lohng sramsram keik, Elos ac kaksakinyu, ac srumunna woiyen orekma luk.
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
Ke mwet sukasrup elos tuh ngusr, nga kasrelos; Nga kasru pac tulik mukaimtal ma wangin mwet in kasrelos.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
Mwet ma muta in ongoiya elos kaksakinyu, Ac katinmas uh elos arulana engankin kasru nga oru nu selos.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
Pacl nukewa nga oru na ma suwohs ac pwaye.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
Nga oana atronmuta nu sin mwet kun, Ac oana nia nu sin mwet ma tia ku in fahsr.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
Nga oana sie papa nu sin mwet sukasrup, Ac nga tuh kasru mwetsac uh in kutena mwe ongoiya nu selos.
17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Nga kunausla ku lun mwet sulallal, Ac molela mwet ma elos akkeokye uh.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
“Pacl nukewa nga tuh nunku mu moul luk ac loes na, Ac nga ac misa na in misla yurin tulik nutik, in lohm sik sifacna.
19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
Nga tuh oana soko sak ma oasr kof ke okah uh in pacl nukewa, Ac lah kac uh aksroksrokyeyuk pacl nukewa ke aunfong uh.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
Mwet nukewa tiana tui in kaksakinyu, Ac ku luk aksasuyeyuk pacl e nukewa.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
Pacl nga sang kas in luti uh, mwet uh ac misla Ac lohma in lohng ma nga fahk uh;
22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
Na ke safla sramsram luk uh, wanginna ma elos ac ku in sifilpa fahk. Kas luk ac tili nu in elos oana tulin af nu fin fohk pao;
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Mwet uh ac arulana engan in eis kas luk uh Oana ke mwet ima uh engan ke ac sifil afi.
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Nga israsr srisrik nu selos ke pacl wanginla finsrak lalos; Ac ngetnget kulang luk akkeyalos.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
Nga pa kololos, ac wotela ma elos in oru; Nga tuh kololos oana sie tokosra su kol un mwet mweun lal, Ac nga akwoyalos ke pacl elos asor.
