< Job 22 >

1 Then Eliphaz replied,
Hanki anante Temani kumateti ne' Elifasi'a amanage huno Jopuna kenona hunte'ne.
2 “(Can anyone be useful to God?/Certainly no one can be useful to God.) [RHQ] Even people who are wise cannot be helpful to God.
Magore huno ama mopafi vahe'mo'a Anumzamofona aza osugahie. Ana nehanigeno, knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a agra'a aza hugahianagi, Anumzamofona aza osugahie.
3 If you were righteous, (would that benefit Almighty [God]?/that certainly would not benefit Almighty [God].) [RHQ] If you had (lived a perfect life/never done anything that is wrong), would that help him?
Kagrama fatgo kavukva'ma hanana zamo'a Hankavenentake Anumzamofo avurera amne zankna nehanigeno, knare kavukva'ma hnana zamo'a, Anumzamofona aza osugahie.
4 “Is it because you have an awesome respect for God that he punishes you? Is that the reason that he puts you on trial?
Hagi kagrama Anumzamofo agorga nemaninka, mono'ma hunentanana amanahu knazana atregeno kazeri havizana nehuno keaga huganteresino?
5 No, it certainly must be [RHQ] because you are extremely wicked. It must be that the evil things that you have done are so many that no one can count them!
I'o kagra rama'a kumi hunka nevankeno kumikamo'a hihi huno mareri'nea agafare Anumzamo'a keaga hunegante.
6 You must have lent money to others and wrongly forced them to give you things to guarantee that they would pay that money back to you; you must have taken all their clothes and left them with nothing to wear.
Hagi roneka'amo'za kagripinti'ma zagoma nofi hunaku'ma hazagenka, zagoni'ma eme nenamita ete erisaze nehunka kukena'zamia erintanke'za zamavufaga zamavapako vu'naze.
7 You must not have given water to those who were thirsty, and you must have refused to give food to those who were hungry.
Ana nehunka tinku'ma nehaza vahera tina nozaminka, zamagaku'ma nehaza vahera ne'zana ozami'nane.
8 Because you were very powerful, you [must have] taken over all the people’s land, and then, being very respected, you have begun to live on that land.
Kagrama kagesa antahi'nana, hankave vahe'mo'zage'za mopa eri nafa'a nehazage'za, mopama eriga vahe'mo'zage enerize hunka kagesa nentahine.
9 [When] widows [came to you for help], you [must have] sent [them] away without giving them anything, and you must have oppressed orphans.
Kento a'nanemo'zama zamazama hananegu'ma kagrite'ma ne-azana zamatranke'za amne nevazagenka, megusa mofavre nagazmia zamazeri haviza nehane.
10 Because of all that, now there are pits around you for you to fall into, and suddenly there are things that terrify you and cause you to tremble.
E'ina hu'negu menina hazenke zamo'a kukomo hiaza huno, maka asoparega kazeri kagigenka mani'nankeno antri hanaza huno koro'zamo'a kagrite ne-e.
11 [It is as though] it has become very dark, with the result that you cannot see anything, and [it is as though] [MET] a flood covers you.
E'ina agafare hanizamo'a kavua rehani higenka nonkankeno, ti hageno refiteaza huno knazamo'a, kagrira rufitenegante.
12 “[But consider this, Job]: God lives [RHQ] high up in the heavens. From there he [RHQ] looks down on the highest stars.
Hianagi menina Jopuga antahio, Anumzana rankrerfa hu'nea Anumzankino amunagamuma me'nea hanafitamina zamagatereno amenagame monafi nemanie.
13 So why do you say, ‘What does God know [about what we are doing]? [He is hidden from us by] dark clouds, so ([how] can he judge us?/he certainly cannot judge us.) [RHQ]’
Hianagi kagra amanage hunka nehane, nagrama nehua navu'nava zana inankna huno Anumzamo'a keno antahino nehie? Agra haninentake hampompi mani'neankino inankna huno tage amara huno nerageno, refkora huno tagegahie?
14 [Do you think that] while he walks on the dome that covers the sky, there are thick clouds around him, with the result that he cannot see [what we do]?
Tapa hampomo Anumzamofo avurera anteso higeno norage. Ana nehigeno agra monamofona agatereno onaga'a vano nehuno norage.
15 Will you continue to conduct your life the old way that evil people have done [for many years]?
Hanki Jopuga antahio, ko'ma kumi vahe'mo'zama hu'naza zamavu'zmava nehunka zamage ante'za nehampi?
16 They suddenly died while they were still young; they disappeared [like everything disappears when there is] a flood [MET].
Nozamima azeri oti'zama ki'naza tra'ma timo hageno erino viankna huno ana kumi'ma nehaza vahera tavava ozafa ore'ne'za kasefa vahe mani'neza frigahaze.
17 They kept saying to God, ‘Do not bother us,’ and they also said [defiantly], ‘Almighty [God] can do nothing [RHQ] to [harm] us!’
Anage nehu'za Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a na'a hurantegahie. Tatarenka vuo hu'za nehaze.
18 But it was God who filled their houses with good things, so I cannot at all understand why wicked people think like they do.
Anage nehazanagi e'i ana Anumzamoke nozamifina knare'nare fenozana eri antevi tezmante'ne. E'ina hu'negu kefo zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za antahintahia nagra ovaririgahue.
19 “But when God punishes wicked people, and righteous people see that, they are glad, and they laugh, ridiculing the wicked people.
Kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'ma Anumzamo'ma zamazeri havizama hige'zama, fatgo avu'ava'zama nehaza vahe'mo'za nezamage'za muse nehaze. Ana nehanage'za ke'zami omne vahe'mo'zama nezamage'za zamagiza regahaze.
20 They say, ‘Now our enemies have been destroyed, and all [their possessions] that were left have been burned in a fire.’
Ana nehu'za, anage hugahaze, ha' vahetimofona tamagerfa hu'za zamazeri haviza nehazageno, tevemo fenozamia tefanane hie hu'za hugahaze.
21 “So, [Job, ] be reconciled to God and make peace with him; if you do that, good things will happen to you.
Hagi Jopuga menina Anumzamofonte kagraka'a anteraminka nemaninka, kasunku hunka Agrane kea eri fatgo nehunka krimpa fru hunka manio. E'inama hanankeno'a, nomani zanka'afina maka zamo'a knare hugahie.
22 Allow him to teach you, and keep thinking about what he has told you.
Amama kavumaro'ma antekema kasamuana antahiso'e nehunka, kagu'afi erintegeno meno.
23 If you humble yourself and return to God, if you stop doing all the evil things that you have been doing in your house,
Hanki kagrama ete rukrahe hunka Hankavenentake Anumzamofonte'ma esnankeno'a, maka knazanka'a eri netreno ete nomani'zanka'a eri so'e hugantegahie. E'ina hu'negu menina nomanizankafima kefo kavukva zama me'neniana eri atro.
24 if you throw away your gold, even the fine gold from the dry stream beds in Ophir [land],
Ana nehunka goligu'ma kavesikavesi'ma nehana zana netrenka, knare zantfama hu'nea golima Ofiri mopafinti'ma eri'nana golia atregeno havemoke'ma hu'nea tinkagomupi vino.
25 and if you allow Almighty [God] to be [as precious to you as] your gold and your silver [have been],
Ana nehunka atregeno Hankavenentake Anumzamo goli ka'agnara huno nemanino, knare zantfama hu'nea silvagnara huno manino.
26 you will be happy because of your close relationship with God, and you will be able to approach him [IDM] [confidently].
Anama hanigenka kagra Hankavenentake Anumzamofona tusi muse hunentenka, kesga hunka Anumzamofona antahimigahane.
27 You will pray to him, and he will do what you request him to do; you will do the things that you promised him that you would do.
Kagra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hanankeno, nunamunka'a antahi kamigahie. Ana nehanigenka kagrama huvempama hu'nana keka'a amage antegahane.
28 Everything that you decide to do will be successful; [it] will [be as though] a light [is] shining on the road in front of you.
Kagrama nazano hunaku'ma kagesama nentahinka anazama tro'ma hnana zamo'a knare zanke nehanigeno, kama vanana kampina tavi'mo remsa huganteno vugahie.
29 God humbles those who are proud, but he saves those who are downcast/discouraged.
Hanki mago'a vahe'mo'zama knafima mani'nesnagenka kagrama hunka, zamaza huo hunkama hanankeno'a, Anumzamo'a zamagu'vazigahie.
30 God rescues those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), so he will rescue you if you (start doing things that are right/are not guilty [IDM] of doing things that are wrong).”
Kumi'ma nehaza vahe'enena Anumzamo'a zamagu vazigahie. Na'ankure kagrama Anumzamofo avure'ma agruma hunka mani'nana zanku huno zamagura vazigahie.
