< Job 12 >

1 Then Job said [to his three friends],
Anage higeno Jopu'a amanage huno Sofarina kenona hunte'ne,
2 “You (talk as though/You think) [SAR] that you are the people [whom everyone should listen to], and that when you die, there will be no more wise people.
Tamagrama antahi'zana tamagrake maka zana antahita keta hu'nazankino frisageno'a, knare antahi'zamo'a fanane hugahie huta nehaze.
3 But I have as much good sense as you do; I am (not less wise than/certainly as wise as [LIT]) you. Certainly everyone knows [RHQ] all that you have said.
Hianagi nagra'enena kagrama hanaza hu'na ama' antahi'zane vahe mani'noe. Iza kagri negi vahera mani'neno, kagrama hanana nanekea nontahie?
4 My friends all laugh at me now. Previously I habitually requested God to help me, and he answered/helped me. I am righteous, a very godly man [DOU], but everyone laughs at me.
Nagra fatgo vahe mani'nena Anumzamofontega nunamuna nehugeno nunamuni'a antahinenamia vahe mani'noanagi ronenimota hunanteta nagiza neraze.
5 Those [like you] who have no troubles make fun of me; they cause those [like me] who are already suffering to have more troubles.
Hagi knare'ma hu'zama nemaniza, knazampima mani'naza vahera huhaviza huzmante'za, kiza nere'za tanafa'ma haza vahera zamaretufenetraze.
6 Bandits live peacefully, and no one threatens those who cause God to become angry; their own strength is the god [that they worship].
Hianagi kumzafa vahe'ene Anumzamofoma amage'ma nontaza vahe'mo'za fru hu'za nemani'za, zamagra'a hanavegu antahizageno anumzazmi asenezmanteanagi Anumzamofo Hihamu hanavefi nemanize.
7 “But ask the wild animals [what they know about God], and [if they could speak] they would teach you. [If you could] ask the birds, they would tell you.
Hianagi afi zagagafa zmantahigege'za rempi hunegaminagenka, anami kankamumpima hare'za vanoma nehaza namaramina zmantahigege'za kasamiho.
8 [If you could] ask the creatures [that crawl] on the ground, or the fish in the sea, they would tell you [about God].
Huge mopamofo antahigegeno rempi hunegamina, atregeno hagerimpi nozamemo'za kasmiho.
9 All of them certainly know [RHQ] that it is Yahweh who has made them with his hands.
Na'ankure nagritegama maka hazenkezama neiana, Anumzamo atregeno neie hu'za ana zagaramimo'za ke'za antahi'za hu'naze.
10 He directs the lives of all living creatures; he gives breath to all [us] humans [to enable us to remain alive].
Na'ankure mika zagagafamofo asimura Anumzamofo azampi megeno, mika vahe'mofo asimu'mo'enena Agri azampinke me'ne.
11 And when we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good and what is bad].
Hagi ne'zama neneno'ma haga'ama antahiaza huta tagra'a tagesafinti kea nentahita, kea refko huta nentahune.
12 Old people are [often] very wise, and because of having lived many years, they understand much,
Ranra vahepi knare antahi'zana megeno, antahi ama'ma hu' antahi'zana ozafanafafi me'ne.
13 but God is wise and very powerful; he has good sense and understands [everything].
Hianagi knare antahi'zane hihamunena Anumzamofompi me'negeno Agripinke knare antahi'zane, antahi ama'mahu antahi'zanena me'ne.
14 If he tears [something] down, no one can rebuild it; if he puts someone in prison, no one can open [the prison doors to allow that person to escape].
Anumzamo'ma eri haviza hu'nesia zana mago vahe'mo'a eri so'e hugara osu'ne. Hagi Agrama kinama huntesia vahera mago'mo'a kinafintira katufetregara osu'ne.
15 When he prevents rain from falling, everything dries up. When he causes a lot of rain to fall, [the result is that] there are floods.
Anumzamo'ma ko'ma neriazama azerinigeno'a, mopamo'a hagage koka megahie. Hagi Agrama tima azerinenireti'ma atresanigeno'a ti hageno mopa refitegahie.
16 He is the one who is truly strong and wise; he rules over those who deceive others and those whom they deceive.
Hagi hihamune knare antahi'zanena Agripi me'neankino, vahe'ma revatgama nehia vahe'ene, anama rezmavatgama nehaza vahe'mo'zanena Agri hanavefi mani'naze.
17 He [sometimes] causes [the king’s] officials to no longer be wise, and he causes judges to become foolish.
Hagi knare antahi'zama vahe'ma nezmiza vahera knare antahi'zazmia erihana nehuno, keagama refkoma nehaza vahera, zamazeri neginagi vahe kna nehie.
18 He takes from kings the robes that they wear and puts loincloths around their waists, [causing them to become slaves].
Hagi Agra kini vahe'mokizmia kini kukena'zmia hateno zamafafafi rugagi zmantege'za, kazokzo eri'za vahe kna nehaze.
19 He takes from priests the sacred clothes that they wear, [with the result that they no longer can do their work], and takes power from those who rule others.
Hagi Agra pristi vahera kukenazmia hatege'za amne vahekna nehazageno, za'za knama kvama mani'za e'naza kva vahe'tmina knare antahizazamia eri netrege'za amne vahekna nehaze.
20 He [sometimes] causes those whom others trust to be unable to speak, and he causes old men to no longer have good sense.
Hagi vahe'mo'zama antahinezmizage'za knare antahi'zama nezmiza vahe'mokizmi zamagira Agra ru hamunenkino, ranra vahe'mokizmi knare antahi'zana erinetre.
21 He causes those who have authority to be despised, and he causes those who are powerful to no longer have any power/strength.
Hagi Agra ugagota kva vahetmina zamazeri zamagaze nehuno, hankave vahe'mokizmi ha'zana zamazampintira eri hanarenetre.
22 He causes things that are hidden in the darkness to be revealed.
Hagi Agra hanimpima framaki'nea zana eri ama nehuno, hanintirima hu'nea zana remsa higeno rumsa huvaganere.
23 He causes some nations to become very great, and [later] he destroys them; he causes the territory of some nations to become much larger, and [later] he causes them to be defeated and their people to be scattered.
Hagi Agra vahetamina zamazeri ra hige'za kumara ante'za rama'a vahe fore hutazageno, ete zamahe fanane nehie. Hagi Agra vahera zamazeri ra hige'za, rama'a fore hutazageno, ete zamazeri osira nehie.
24 He causes [some] rulers to become foolish/stupid, and then he causes them to wander around, lost, in an barren desert.
Hanki Agra kini vahe'mokizmi antahintahia zamazeri savri hige'za, kana omne ka'ma kokampina neginagi hu'za hazagre'za vano nehaze.
25 They grope around in the darkness, without any light, and he causes them to stagger like [SIM] people who are drunk.”
Hagi ana'ma hige'za hanimpi eri'eri hu'za vano nehaze. Ana nehu'za aka tima nenea vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za traka truku hu'za vano nehaze.
