Job 23
1 Na Job el fahk,
Then Job answered:
2 “Nga srakna torkaskas ac lain God; Nga tia ku in kutongya sasao luk.
“Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3 Seyal nga ke etu lah nga ac konalak ya, Ac lah nga ac ut ya nu yen El muta we.
If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.
4 Nga lukun fahkang na nunak luk nu sel Ac takunang nufon ma nga pulakin mu pwaye sik.
I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 Nga ke etu lah mea El ac fahk, Ac lah El ac topukyu fuka.
I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.
6 Ya God El ac lainyu ke ku lal nufon? Mo, El ac porongo na ke nga ac kaskas uh.
Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.
7 In pacl sac El ac engan in lohng sramsram luk, mweyen nga inse pwayena nu sel; Na El ac fah akkalemye lah El tuleyula, ingela nwe tok.
Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 “Nga tuh sokol kutulap, tuh El wangin we; Nga tia pacna konalak ke nga sokol roto ah.
If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.
9 El tuh orekma na epang ac eir, Tuh nga tia pacna liyal we.
When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.
10 Ne ouinge a God El etu nufon acn nga forfor we; El fin srikeyu, El ac konauk lah nga nasnasna.
Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11 Nga oaru na in fahsr ke inkanek ma El sulela nu sik uh, Ac tiana kuhfla liki.
My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.
12 Nga oru na ma El sapkin pacl nukewa; Nga fahsrna ke ma lungse lal ac tia lungse luk sifacna.
I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.
13 “God El tiana ekyek. Wangin mwet ku in kifasulla, Ku tulokinilya liki ma El lungse oru uh.
But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.
14 El ac oralana ma El akou in oru nu sik; Ako se lal inge siena sin ma pus ma El ke oru nu sik uh.
For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.
15 Nga arulana rarrar ac sangeng ye mutal.
Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.
16 God pa arulana akmunasyela nunak luk uh. El su Kulana El arulana aksangengyeyu.
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
17 Finne lohsr uh kosrala mutuk, Nga tiana misla in fahk nunak luk uh.
Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
