< Job 29 >

1 Na Job el sifil mutawauk in kaskas:
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 “Saok moul luk uh in ku in sifil folokla Oana ke pacl se God El tuh karinginyu ah.
O that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3 In pacl sac God El tuh wiyu na pacl nukewa, Ac ase kalem nu sik ke nga fufahsryesr in lohsr uh.
When his lamp shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 In len ingo pa nga tuh arulana fokoko, Ac asruoki lun God nu sik arulana karingin inkul sik wo.
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tent;
5 God Kulana El tuh arulana wiyu, Ac tulik nutik nukewa elos muta yuruk.
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6 Yohk sronin titi lun cow ac nani nutik, Ac eot in itat olive nu ke oil, yohk oil soror kac.
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 Pacl nukewa ma mwet matu in siti uh ac toeni, Ac nga eis acn sik inmasrlolos uh,
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8 Mwet fusr uh ac sa na sekinyula elos fin liyeyuyak, Ac mukul matu elos tuyak in akkalemye akfulat lalos nu sik.
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9 Mwet kol uh ac tui pac tila sramsram;
The princes stopped talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 Finne mwet ma fulat selos uh, ac misla pac.
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 “Mwet nukewa su liyeyu meet, ku lohng sramsram keik, Elos ac kaksakinyu, ac srumunna woiyen orekma luk.
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Ke mwet sukasrup elos tuh ngusr, nga kasrelos; Nga kasru pac tulik mukaimtal ma wangin mwet in kasrelos.
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 Mwet ma muta in ongoiya elos kaksakinyu, Ac katinmas uh elos arulana engankin kasru nga oru nu selos.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 Pacl nukewa nga oru na ma suwohs ac pwaye.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 Nga oana atronmuta nu sin mwet kun, Ac oana nia nu sin mwet ma tia ku in fahsr.
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 Nga oana sie papa nu sin mwet sukasrup, Ac nga tuh kasru mwetsac uh in kutena mwe ongoiya nu selos.
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 Nga kunausla ku lun mwet sulallal, Ac molela mwet ma elos akkeokye uh.
And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 “Pacl nukewa nga tuh nunku mu moul luk ac loes na, Ac nga ac misa na in misla yurin tulik nutik, in lohm sik sifacna.
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 Nga tuh oana soko sak ma oasr kof ke okah uh in pacl nukewa, Ac lah kac uh aksroksrokyeyuk pacl nukewa ke aunfong uh.
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 Mwet nukewa tiana tui in kaksakinyu, Ac ku luk aksasuyeyuk pacl e nukewa.
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Pacl nga sang kas in luti uh, mwet uh ac misla Ac lohma in lohng ma nga fahk uh;
To me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 Na ke safla sramsram luk uh, wanginna ma elos ac ku in sifilpa fahk. Kas luk ac tili nu in elos oana tulin af nu fin fohk pao;
After my words they spoke not again; and my speech fell upon them.
23 Mwet uh ac arulana engan in eis kas luk uh Oana ke mwet ima uh engan ke ac sifil afi.
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24 Nga israsr srisrik nu selos ke pacl wanginla finsrak lalos; Ac ngetnget kulang luk akkeyalos.
If I mocked at them, they had no confidence; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 Nga pa kololos, ac wotela ma elos in oru; Nga tuh kololos oana sie tokosra su kol un mwet mweun lal, Ac nga akwoyalos ke pacl elos asor.
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
