< Job 40 >

1 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Job:
And the Lord God answered Job, and said,
2 “Job, kom orek alein nu sin God Kulana. Mea, kom ac tari misla, ku kom akola in topukyu?”
Will [any one] pervert judgement with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.
3 Na Job el topuk LEUM GOD ac fahk, Nga tuh fahk kas na lalfon. Mea nga ac sang topuk kom uh?
And Job answered and said to the Lord,
4 Nga ac tia sifil srike in fahk kutena ma.
Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Kas luk ah alukela tari ma fal ngan fahk.”
I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.
6 Na, LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Job liki eng upa sac me, ac fahk:
And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying],
7 “Tuyak oana sie mukul, Ac topuk mwe siyuk luk inge.
Nay, gird up now your loins like a man; and I will ask you, and do you answer me.
8 Ya kom srike in akkalemye mu nga sesuwos — In tuh sutuu sik, a kom pa pwaye uh?
Do not set aside my judgement: and do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way, than that you might appear to be righteous?
9 Ya kuiyom oana ku luk? Ya pusrem ku in ngirngir in pulahl, oana pusrek?
Hast you an arm like the Lord's? or do you thunder with a voice like his?
10 Fin pwaye, tuyak yunikomla ke pwengpeng ac fulat; Nuknukyang ke wal ac ke wolana.
Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe yourself with glory and honour.
11 Ngetla liye mwet inse fulat uh; Okoaung kasrkusrak lom nu faclos ac akpusiselyalos.
And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one.
12 Aok, liyalos akwoya, ac kilukunulosi nwe ten; Itungya mwet sulallal uh ingena yen elos tu we an.
Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.
13 Puknulosi nufon ye fohk uh; Ac kaprelosi nu in facl sin mwet misa.
And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.
14 Na ac nga pa oemeet ac kaksakin kom uh, Ac fahkak lah kom kutangla ke ku lom sifacna.
[Then] will I confess that your right hand can save [you].
15 “Nunkuwin ke kosro sulallal Behemoth; Nga pa oralla, ac nga pac pa orekomla. El mongo mah oana cow uh,
But now look at the wild beasts with you; they eat grass like oxen.
16 Tusruktu arulana yohk kuiyal, Ac yohk musul ke manol!
Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 Pulal tuyak nu lucng oana soko sak cedar, Ac ku lun nial uh arulana yokla.
He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.
18 Sri kacl uh ku oana osra bronze, Ac nial oana polo iron uh.
His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron.
19 “El pa nga tuh orala oemeet inmasrlon ma orakrak uh! Wanginna ma ku in kutangulla sayen El su oralla.
This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.
20 Mah ma el kang uh kap fineol, Yen kosro lemnak uh srital we.
And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.
21 El ac oan ye sak ma oasr otoh, Ac wikwik ye loa in acn furarrar uh.
He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.
22 El ac wiklana oan ye lulin sak ma oasr otoh, Ac sak willow ma oan pe infacl uh.
And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field.
23 El tia sangeng ke asrasr lun infacl uh; Ac el ac oakwuk na ke Infacl Jordan ac fwela mutal.
If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.
24 Su ac ku in aklohsryela mutal ac sruokilya? Ku sruokya infwacl ke sruhf uh?
[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose.
