Job 18
1 Na Bildad el fahk,
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 “Job, ku kain in mwet se kom an tiana ku in misla? Kom fin tuiwin ac lohng ma kut fahk uh, kut ac ku in sramsram nu sum.
"How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Mea sis kom nunku mu kut lalfon oana cow uh?
Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4 Kom sifacna akkeokye kom ke kasrkusrak lom an. Mea, ku in wanginla mwet fin faclu kom fin kasrkusrak? Mea, God Elan mokle eol uh in tuh akinsewowoye kom?
You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
5 “Kalem lun mwet koluk uh ac nuna kunlana; Firir kac uh ac fah tia ku in sifil kalem.
"Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 Lam in lohm nuknuk sel uh ac fah lohsrla.
The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
7 Meet, el fahsr ku na, a inge el fahsr tukulkul; Kas in luti lal sifacna, oru el ikori.
The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.
8 El fahsryang nu in sie nwek, ac nial sremla;
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9 Sie sruhf srumasrla kapinnial ac sruokilya.
A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10 Sie sruhf wikla oanna infohk uh; Sie pac sruhf uh oakwuki ke acn el fahsr we.
A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.
11 Mwe aksangeng apnulla yen nukewa; Ac welul yen nukewa el fahsr we.
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
12 Meet el kasrup, a inge el masrinsral; Mwe ongoiya oanna siskal soanel.
His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
13 Sie mas na upa su ku in unilya kanglana manol, Ac kulweya paol ac nial.
The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
14 Amala el liki lohm nuknuk su el tuh muta insewowo loac, Ac kokola el nu ye mutun Tokosra lun Misa.
He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
15 Inge kutena mwet ku in utyak ac muta in lohm nuknuk sel — Tukun aknasnasyeyukla ke sulphur!
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.
16 Okah ac lah kacl uh uli ac paola.
His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.
17 El tila pwengpeng in acn sel, oayapa in acn nukewa saya! Wangin mwet sifilpa esamul.
His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.
18 El ac fah lisyukla liki facl sin mwet moul, Ac ukohkyak el liki kalem nu ke lohsr uh.
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 Wangin fwilin tulik natul, nufonna misa.
He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
20 Mwet nukewa in acn kutulap lac nwe roto su lohng pweng kacl Elos sangeng ac rarrar.
Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21 Pa inge saflaiyen moul lun mwet koluk uh. Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet su tia lulalfongi ke God.”
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
