< Job 23 >

1 Then Job answered and said,
Hanki Jopu'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne.
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Nagrira menina mani'zanimo'a amuho nehige'na keha regahuanki'na, rentarako hune'na karagira orugahue.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
Anumzamo'ma mani'nea kuma'ma nagrama ke'noresina, Agrama mani'nea kumapi menina vusine.
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Anama hute'na kegagani'a Agri avure eri'na vute'na, nazama huno keagani'ma refko huno antahinogura kehara ome husine.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Anama hute'na keaganire'ma nonama huno keagama nasamisnia nanekea antahi ama' huresine.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
Anumzamo'a Agra tusi'a hankave'areti hara renanteno, nazeri havizana hugahifi? I'o anara osu nagri nanekerera agesa ante'neno antahi so'e hisine.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Hagi nagrama fatgo vahe'ma mani'nenugeno refko huno nenageno, Agrama hazenkea omane'ne hanige'na mani vava hu'na vusine.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
Zage hanati kaziga hake'na vuanagi onke'noe. Zage fre kaziga hake'na vuanagi Anumzamofona onke'noe.
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
Noti kaziga hake'na vu'noanagi, Anumzamo'a fraki'nege'na onke'noe. Sauti kaziga hake'na vu'noanagi navumo'a onketfa hu'ne.
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Hianagi nagrama kama vanoma huana, nageno antahino hu'ne. Ana hu'neankino renaheno'ma kesanige'na, tevefima golima krazageno avusesema hiaza hugahue.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Na'ankure maka zupa nagra Anumzamofo kante nagia rente'na vano nehu'na, Agri avu'ava'za amage nente'na, ru kantera vugantigma nosue.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Anumzamofo kasegea namefira huomi'na amage ante'noe. Ana nehu'na ne'zama hiaza hu'na naneke'a erintogeno nagu'afi me'ne.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
Hianagi Agrake Anumzana mani'neankino nazano hunaku'ma haniazana amne hanigeno, mago vahe'mo'a retro'ma hania antahintahi'a eri otregahie.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Ana hu'neankino nazano nagrite'ma tro hugahue huno antahintahima hu'nesniazana amne hugahie. Na'ankure nagri'ma hunantesiazana rama'a zantami retro hunte'neankino, Agrake keno antahino hu'ne.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Ana hu'neanki'na menina Agri avurera tusi nahirahi nerege'na, Agri hankavegu'ma nagesama nentahi'na tusi koro nehue.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Anumzamo'a maka hankaveni'a eri netreno, Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a Agra nazeri koro nagesa hu'ne.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Hanizamo eme nazeri kagige'na hanizampi havizantfa hu'na mani'noanagi, kea tagane'na omanigahue.
