Job 20
1 Then Zophar replied,
Na Zophar el fahk,
2 “I am very perturbed about what you have said, so I want to reply very quickly.
“Job, kom arulana aktoasryeyu. Inge nga semutengla, ac kena tari topuk kom.
3 By saying these things you have insulted me, but I know how (OR, because I understand very much) I can reply to you.
Ma kom fahk ah kas in na pirakak, Tusruktu nga etu lah nga ac topuk fuka.
4 “Do you not know that from long ago, ever since people were first put on the earth,
“Kom etu na lah oemeet me, Ke mutawauk in fili mwet uh fin faclu ah,
5 wicked people [like you] do not continue to rejoice for a long time, ungodly people are happy only for a (moment/very short time) [HYP]?
Wangin sie mwet koluk ku in engan paht.
6 [Even] though their reputation/pride reaches up to the sky and their fame goes up as high as the clouds,
Sahp el ac ku in kapak in mwet na fulat se, Nwe ke na insifal sun pukunyeng uh,
7 they will disappear forever, like their own dung, and those who knew them will ask, ‘(Where did they go/What happened to them)?’
Tusruktu el ac ukyukla oana kutkut uh. Mwet ma etal meet ah, Ac suk lah el som nu ya.
8 They will be forgotten like [SIM] a dream is, and they will exist no more. They will vanish, like visions [that people see] during the night.
El ac wanginla oana sie mweme, oana sie aruruma ke fong, Ac tiana sifil liyeyuk.
9 Those who saw those people previously will never see them again; even their families [MTY] will not see them any more.
El ac wanginla liki acn ma el tuh muta we meet ah;
10 Their children will be forced to return the valuable things that those children stole from poor people [DOU].
Ac tulik natul ac fah akfalyela ma lun mwet sukasrup ma el tuh pisrala ah.
11 Previously their bodies were young and strong, but they will die and [their bodies will] be buried in the ground.
Meet, manol fusr ac el arulana fokoko, Tusruktu ac tia pat, ac fah ekla nu ke kutkut.
12 “Doing wicked things was like having sweet food in their mouths, and they wanted to continue to taste it.
“Ma koluk uh finne oana sie ma emwem nu ke oalul, Ac el finne okanla oan ye lohul,
13 And they did not want to stop doing those things,
Ac tia lungse sisla, a kena in oanna inwalul elan engankin ema uh.
14 [but some day] the evil things that they enjoyed doing will become like food [that they swallow] [and which becomes] as bitter as snake venom.
Tusruktu mongo inge ac ekla mwen ke sun insial — Mwen oana pwasin uh.
15 Wicked people will not continue to keep the money they have accumulated, like people do not keep the food that they vomit. God takes their wealth from them.
Mwet koluk uh wihtacla mwe kasrup ma el pisrala uh; Ac God El ac eisla sel, finne oan insial.
16 What wicked people do is [like] [MET] swallowing snake venom; it will kill them like [MET] the bite of a poisonous snake kills people.
Ma su mwet koluk se ukumya uu oana pwasin; Ac fah unilya oana ngalngul lun soko wet pwasin uh.
17 They will not remain alive to see abundant blessings [IDM] [from God], milk and olive oil and honey, that are [so abundant they are] like [MET] a stream that flows by.
El ac fah tia moul in liye infacl ma oil in olive soror we uh, Ku infacl srisrik ma oasr milk ac honey soror kac.
18 They will be forced to give back the things that they stole from the poor; they will not be able to continue to enjoy those things. They will not remain happy because of what they got from their businesses,
El ac enenu in fuhleak nufon ma el kemkatu kac meet ah; Ac fah wangin pacl elan insewowokin mwe kasrup lal,
19 because they oppressed poor people and refused to help them, and they took other people’s houses [by cheating them].
Mweyen el tuh akkeokye ac pilesru mwet sukasrup, Ac eisla lohm ma siena mwet musaela.
20 “They were always greedy and never satisfied. They just keep dreaming about owning more and more things.
Rapku lal uh oru el tia ku in muti.
21 When they finished eating their food, there was never anything left over [because they had greedily eaten it all]; but now their prosperity will end.
Ke pacl el mongo uh, wanginna luwa, Ac inge, pacl in mut lal uh safla.
22 When they are extremely prosperous/wealthy, they will suddenly experience a lot of trouble. (Misery will strike them and crush them [PRS]/They will suffer very greatly).
Ke pacl se el sun na pwaye kasrpal, Na toasriyen mwe keok ma el oru inge nufon ac fah putatyang nu facl ac toanilya.
23 When the wicked people are filling their stomachs, God will show that he is very angry with them and punish them; the punishment [that he gives them] will be like [MET] rain falling on them.
Lela elan kang ma nukewa ma el ke kang uh! God El ac fah kael ke kasrkusrak ac folo lal.
24 They will try to escape from [being killed by] iron weapons, but arrows with bronze points will pierce them.
El fin srike elan kaingkunla cutlass osra uh, Na soko osra in pisr, su muta uh orekla ke bronze, ac fah faksilya.
25 The arrows will [go completely through their bodies and] stick out of their backs; the shiny points of the arrows will have blood dripping from them, and those wicked people will be terrified.
Soko osra in pisr ac fah sasla ke manol; Ac srah kacl uh ac fah tultul ke acn saromrom ke mutun osra uh, Ac el ac arulana tuninfongla.
26 Their valuable possessions will all be destroyed; a fire that is not lit by humans, [but by God, ] will burn them up and also destroy the things that are left in their tents.
Ma lal nukewa ma el elosak, ac fah kunausyukla; Sie e su tia ma tayak ke poun mwet Ac fah esukulak wi mwet nukewa in lohm sel.
27 The [angels in] heaven [MTY] will reveal the sins that those wicked people have committed, and [people on] earth will stand up and testify against them.
Kusrao ac akkalemyela koluk lun mwet se inge, Ac faclu fah orek loh lainul.
28 When God punishes [MTY] [people], all the possessions in the wicked people’s houses will be carried away by a flood.
Sie sronot ac fah pokla mwe kasrup lal nukewa Ke len se ma God El nununku mwet koluk in kasrkusrak lal.
29 That is what will happen to wicked people [like you]; that is what God has decided will happen to them.”
“Pa inge safla lun mwet koluk uh, Safla se ma God El nuna akoela nu selos.”
