< Job 10 >

1 My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
“Nga totola ac srungala moul. Lohng pusren torkaskas toasr luk.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
O God, nimet wotela in koluk nu sik. Fahkma nu sik la mea se nununkeyuk nga kac uh?
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Mea, wo ke kom arulana akkeokyeyu, Ac kwase ma kom sifacna orala, Na tari kom israsr ke pwapa sulal ma mwet koluk elos oru?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh, or seest thou as man seeth?
Ku liye lom u oana liye lasr uh?
5 Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man’s days,
Ya moul lom uh fototo oana moul lun mwet uh?
6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,
Efu ku kom ke kom in sokani na ma koluk nga oru uh Ac iluseni na ma koluk luk uh?
7 Although thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand?
Kom etu la wangin ma sufal luk Ac kom etu pac la wangin mwet ku in moliyula liki kom.
8 Thine hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
“Poum pa lumayula ac oreyula, A inge po na ma oreyula ingan pa kunausyula.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Esam lah kom oreyula ke fohk kle; Ya kom ac ilyuwi nga in sifilpa folok nu ke fohk?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Kom tu sang ku nu sin papa tumuk elan oreyula; Kom akkapyeyuyak insien nina kiuk.
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
Kom lumahla monuk ke sri ac alko, Ac nokomla sri uh ke ikwa ac kolo.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Kom ase nu sik moul ac lungse kawil, Ac karinginyuk lom pa oru nga moul na.
13 Yet these things thou didst hide in thine heart; I know that this is with thee:
Tusruktu inge nga etu lah kom ne oru ma inge, A kom nuna akoo na in lukma mu kom ac akkeokyeyu.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
Kom mutana tawi lah nga ac orala kutena ma koluk Kom in mau tiana nunak munas nu sik.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction.
Nga ac tufahna orala ma koluk se, na kom ase mwe ongoiya nu sik, Ac pacl nga oru ma wo uh, wanginna akilenya. Nga arulana keok, ac yoklana mwekin luk.
16 And if [my head] exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvelous upon me.
Fin tufahna oasr ma se nga orala tuh wo ouiya, Kom ac sukyu oana lion soko; Kutu pacl uh kom ac oru ma usrnguk in tuh akkeokyeyu.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and warfare are with me.
Pacl nukewa kom oru in oasr mwet loh lom in lainyu; Kasrkusrak lom sik uh nuna yokyokelik na; Pacl nukewa kom ac suk ouiya sasu in sang lainyu.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
“O God, efu ku kom tuh lela in osweyukla nga? Saok ngan tuh misa na meet liki mwet uh liyeyu ah.
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Nga funu suwoslana liki insien nina kiuk ah nwe ke inkulyuk uh, lukun wona Ac funu tiana osweyukla nga lukun wo pacna.
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Mea, moul luk uh ac tia apkuran in safla? Tari, fahla likiyu! Lela nga in insewowokin kitin pacl lula luk uh.
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
Nga akuranna som, ac nga ac tia sifil foloko — Som nu ke sie acn su lohsr ac yohk asor we,
22 A land of thick darkness, as darkness [itself]; [a land] of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Sie acn su lohsr ac lullul ac yohk fohs we, Acn se su kalem we uh lohsr pac.”
