< Job 36 >

1 Ac Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
And Elius further continued, and said,
2 “Sifilpa mongfisrasr kitin pacl ac lohng Kas ma nga ac aolla God ac fahk.
Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach you: for there is yet speech in me.
3 Yohk ma nga kalem kac; nga ac orekmakin ma kalem sik uh In akkalemye lah God, su oreyula, El suwosna.
Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,
4 Wangin kas kikiap ke ma nga ac fahk nu sum inge; Kom liye sie mwet na lalmwetmet ye motom.
I will speak just things truly, and you shall not unjustly receive unjust words.
5 “Arulana yohk ku lun God! Wangin sie mwet El srunga; Wangin kutena ma El tia kalem kac.
But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,
6 El tia lela mwet koluk uh in moul na, Ac El oru ma suwohs nu sin mwet sukasrup in pacl nukewa.
he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.
7 El loangelos su suwosna moul la; Ac lela tuh elos in leumi oana tokosra, Ac oru in akfulatyeyuk elos nwe tok.
He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.
8 Tusruktu mwet uh fin kapiri ke sein, Ac keok ke sripen ma koluk elos orala,
But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.
9 God El akkalemye nu selos ma koluk lalos ac inse fulat lalos.
And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.
10 El oru elos in lohng kas in sensenkakin lal nu selos Tuh elos in forla liki orekma koluk.
But he will listen to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.
11 Elos fin akos God ac kulansupal, Na elos ac insewowokin moul lalos uh in misla ac wo ouiya.
If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honor.
12 A elos fin tia akos ac kulansupu God, na elos ac anwuki ke cutlass, Ac misa in nikin lalos.
But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.
13 “Mwet su tia etu God uh elos ac mutana in kasrkusrak lalos, Ac finne akkeokyeyuk elos, elos tia pre in suk kasru.
And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them.
14 Elos ac srakna fusr na elos misa, Eli ke sie moul lusrongten.
Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death].
15 Tusruktu God El luti mwet uh ke mwe keok nu selos, Ac ikasla mutalos ke mwe ongoiya.
Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.
16 “God El ke folokinkomme liki ongoiya, Nu ke sie acn mwesas, yen wangin ma ikus kom; Ac tepu lom uh sessesla ke mwe mongo yuyu.
And he has also enticed you out of the mouth of the enemy:
17 Tusruktu, inge akkeokyeyuk kom oana ma fal in orek nu sum.
[there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and your table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;
18 Taranna kom in tia lela molin eyeinse in kiapwekomla, Ku mwe kasrup in aktafongyekomla.
but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.
19 Kom finne pang ke kuiyom nufon in suk kasru, ac fah wangin sripa; Ku lom nufon tia ku in akwoye kom inge.
Let not [your] mind willingly turn you aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.
20 Nimet kom ke in tari fongeni, In sun pacl ma mutunfacl lulap uh ac fah wanginla.
And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.
21 Karinganang kom in tia forla nu ke ma koluk; Mwe keok lom inge ma tuku in tuh sruokkomi liki ma koluk.
But take heed lest you do that which is wrong: for of this you has made choice because of poverty.
22 “Esam lupan yokiyen ku lun God uh; Su sie mwet luti oana El?
Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?
23 Wangin mwet ku in fahk nu sin God ma Elan oru, Ku fahk mu koluk ma El oru uh.
And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice?
24 Nuna kaksakinyuk El pacl nukewa ke ma El oru; Enenu na kom in wi pac kaksakunul.
Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted.
25 Mwet nukewa liye tari ma El orala; Tusruktu kut ac tu na oe saya liye.
Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.
26 Kut tia ku in etu na pwaye lupan fulat lal uh, Ku oakla pisen yac lal uh.
Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite.
27 “God pa orauk kof uh liki faclu, Ac ekulla nu ke tulin af uh.
And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.
28 El oru tuh kof uh in kahkla liki pukunyeng uh Ac afi nu fin mwet nukewa.
The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. [Yet] by all these things your understanding is not astonished, neither is your mind disturbed in [your] body.
29 Wangin mwet etu lah pukunyeng uh mukuikui fuka, Ku lah fuka tuh pulahl uh ngirngir In acn engyeng uh yen God El muta we.
And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle;
30 El supu sarom nu in acn nukewa yen engyeng uh, Tusruktu acn loal in meoa uh nuna lohsr na.
behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.
31 Pa inge luman kiteyen mwet uh sel, Ac El sang mwe mongo puspis nun mwet uh.
For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.
32 El sang paol sruokya sarom uh, Ac sap tuh in tungalya acn El ac fahk uh.
He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud].
33 Pusren pulahl uh sulkakin lah paka se ac tuku, Ac un cow uh etu lah ac pakala.
The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness.
