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.
