Job 10
1 “Nga totola ac srungala moul. Lohng pusren torkaskas toasr luk.
Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.
2 O God, nimet wotela in koluk nu sik. Fahkma nu sik la mea se nununkeyuk nga kac uh?
And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore hast thou thus judged me?
3 Mea, wo ke kom arulana akkeokyeyu, Ac kwase ma kom sifacna orala, Na tari kom israsr ke pwapa sulal ma mwet koluk elos oru?
Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? for thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.
4 Ku liye lom u oana liye lasr uh?
Or dost thou see as a mortal sees? or wilt thou look as a man sees?
5 Ya moul lom uh fototo oana moul lun mwet uh?
Or is thy life human, or thy years [the years] of a man,
6 Efu ku kom ke kom in sokani na ma koluk nga oru uh Ac iluseni na ma koluk luk uh?
that thou hast enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?
7 Kom etu la wangin ma sufal luk Ac kom etu pac la wangin mwet ku in moliyula liki kom.
For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of thy hands?
8 “Poum pa lumayula ac oreyula, A inge po na ma oreyula ingan pa kunausyula.
Thy hands have formed me and made me; afterwards thou didst change [thy mind], and smite me.
9 Esam lah kom oreyula ke fohk kle; Ya kom ac ilyuwi nga in sifilpa folok nu ke fohk?
Remember that thou hast made me [as] clay, and thou dost turn me again to earth.
10 Kom tu sang ku nu sin papa tumuk elan oreyula; Kom akkapyeyuyak insien nina kiuk.
Hast thou not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Kom lumahla monuk ke sri ac alko, Ac nokomla sri uh ke ikwa ac kolo.
And thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews.
12 Kom ase nu sik moul ac lungse kawil, Ac karinginyuk lom pa oru nga moul na.
And thou didst bestow upon me life and mercy, and thy oversight has preserved my spirit.
13 Tusruktu inge nga etu lah kom ne oru ma inge, A kom nuna akoo na in lukma mu kom ac akkeokyeyu.
Having these things in thyself, I know that thou canst do all things; for nothing is impossible with thee.
14 Kom mutana tawi lah nga ac orala kutena ma koluk Kom in mau tiana nunak munas nu sik.
And if I should sin, thou watchest me; and thou hast not cleared me from iniquity.
15 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.
Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I cannot lift myself up, for I am full of dishonour.
16 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.
For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again thou hast changed and art terribly destroying me;
17 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.
renewing against me my torture: and thou hast dealt with me in great anger, and thou hast brought trials upon me.
18 “O God, efu ku kom tuh lela in osweyukla nga? Saok ngan tuh misa na meet liki mwet uh liyeyu ah.
Why then didst thou bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me,
19 Nga funu suwoslana liki insien nina kiuk ah nwe ke inkulyuk uh, lukun wona Ac funu tiana osweyukla nga lukun wo pacna.
and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?
20 Mea, moul luk uh ac tia apkuran in safla? Tari, fahla likiyu! Lela nga in insewowokin kitin pacl lula luk uh.
Is not the time of my life short? suffer me to rest a little,
21 Nga akuranna som, ac nga ac tia sifil foloko — Som nu ke sie acn su lohsr ac yohk asor we,
before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;
22 Sie acn su lohsr ac lullul ac yohk fohs we, Acn se su kalem we uh lohsr pac.”
to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither [can any one] see the life of mortals.
