< Job 14 >

1 “Kut nukewa isusla tuh munas ac tia ku in sifacna. Moul lasr nukewa fototo ac sessesla ke mwe ongoiya.
Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
2 Kut kapak na sa na in uli oana ros uh; Ac kut wanginla oana lul uh.
He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
3 O God, ya kom ku in ngetma ac nunku ke kain mwet se nga uh, Ku eisyuyang nu in nununku?
And does you open your eyes upon such an one, and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Wangin ma nasnas ku in tuku Liki sie ma su arulana fohkfok oana mwet uh.
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 Lusen moul lal nuna oakwuki na meet — Aok, pisen malem ma el ac moul uh. Kom orala tari oakwuk lom, ac tia ku in ikilyukla.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 Ngetla lukel ac nimet lusrongol. Lela elan engankin moul upa se inge, el fin ku.
Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a worker, his day.
7 “Oasr finsrak ke soko sak ma pakpuki tari — Mweyen ac ku in sifil srunak ac moul.
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Okah uh finne matuoh, Ac srua uh misa infohk uh,
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Fin oasr kof pusralla na ac sifilpa kapak oana soko sak fusr.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 A mwet se fin misa, na fuka? Ke el misa uh, pa na ingan saflaiyal.
But man dies, and wastes away: yea, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11 “Oana sie lulu su paola, Ac soko infacl su tila soror,
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decays and dries up:
12 Ouinge mwet uh ac misa, ac tia sifil moulyak. Nwe ke pacl se kusrao ac fah wanginla, elos fah tia ngutalik; Ku mukuila liki motul lalos.
So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 “Nga ke kom in wikinyula in facl sin mwet misa; Lela in wikinyukla nga nwe ke na kasrkusrak lom uh wanginla, Ac kom oakiya sie pacl an in esamyu. (Sheol h7585)
O that you would hide me in the grave, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! (Sheol h7585)
14 Ku mwet se fin misa, ya el ku in sifil moulyak? Tusruktu, nga ac soano in oasr pacl wo se, Ke pacl koluk se inge ac wanginla.
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 Na kom fah pang ac nga ac topuk kom, Ac kom fah insewowo keik, su ma orekla lun poum.
You shall call, and I will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands.
16 Na kom fah karingin fahluk nukewa luk, A kom fah tia oakla ma koluk luk.
For now you number my steps: do you not watch over my sin?
17 Kom ac fah nunak munas kac, ac mulkunla ma inge; Kom ac fah eela ma sufal nukewa ma nga orala.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up mine iniquity.
18 “Sie pacl eol uh ac mokukla, Ac fulu uh ac mokleyukla.
And surely the mountains falling comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19 Kof uh ac fah kangla eot uh, Ac af upa ac fah pahtkakunla fohkon acn uh; Ouinge kom fah kunausla finsrak lun mwet uh ke moul lalos.
The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroys the hope of man.
20 Kom kunausla ku lun sie mwet ac lusulla ma pahtpat; Ac mutal irelik in misa lal.
You prevail for ever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away.
21 Wen natul uh ac fah sunakinyuk, a el ac tia ku in etu, Ke ac akmwekinyeyukla tulik natul, ac tia pac akkalemyeyuk nu sel.
His sons come to honour, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.
22 El ac pula na ngal lun manol, Ac asor lun nunak lal mukena.”
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
