Job 29
1 Job resumed speaking and said,
Jopu'a mago'ene keaga'a amanage huno hu'ne,
2 “Oh, that I were as I was in the past months when God cared for me,
Ko'ma evia kafuramimpine ikampinema Anumzamo'ma knare huno kegavama hunantege'nama mani'na e'noaza hu'na, manisuegu antahintahia nehue.
3 when his lamp shined on my head, and when I walked through darkness by his light.
Anumzamo agra nasenirera tavira remsa hunentege'na, mago zankura nagesa ontahi knare hu'na vu'noe.
4 Oh, that I were as I was in the ripeness of my days when the friendship of God was on my tent,
Hagi ko'ma maka zamo'ma knare'ma higenama mani'noa knafina, nagrite'ene naga'ni'arera Anumzamo'a taragoteno knare aroneni'a mani'nege'na ke'noe.
5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
Hankavenentake Anumzamo'ma nagranema taragotenoma mani'nea knafina, mofavre naganimo'za nagri tava'onte mani'naze.
6 when my way was covered with cream, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
Ana nehazage'na bulimakao afu zaga'nifintira ami rina rama'a nerati'na, olivi hozanifintira rama'a olivi raga tagite'na, masavena reratina rama'a erugeno viteno tima eviaza hu'ne.
7 When I went out to the city gate, when I sat in my place in the city square,
Hagi korapara nagra ugota kva vahe mani'ne'na, rankumamofo kafante'ma keagama refkohu knazupa, zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'zama trate'ma unemanizage'na nagranena tra'nire umani'noe.
8 the young men saw me and kept their distance from me in respect, and the aged people rose and stood for me.
Kasefa vahe'ma nagrama neoge'zama nenage'za, mani kantugma nehu'za kankamuna nami'naze. Ana nehazage'za ozafanafa naga'mo'za, antahinenami'za oti'ne'za nenagazage'na vu'noe.
9 The princes used to refrain from talking when I came; they would lay their hand on their mouths.
Kva vahe'mo'zama keagama nehazaretira nagrama neoge'zama nenage'za, kea osu mani'ne'za zamazanteti zamagitera rehamunki'naze.
10 The voices of the noblemen were hushed, and their tongue clung to the roof of their mouths.
Ran kumate'ma ugagota hu'za kegavama hu'naza kva vahera, zamagefunamo'a marerino zmavagunafare akamrege'za kea osu zamagira hamunki'za mani'naze.
11 For after their ears heard me, they would then bless me; after their eyes saw me, they would then give witness to me and approve of me
Hagi nagrama keagama nehuge'zama antahi'za vahe'mo'za hu muse hunenantage'za, keagama nehuge'za nagaza vahe'mo'zanena knare keaga hunami'naze.
12 because I rescued the one who was poor when he cried out, and the one who had no father when he had no one to help him.
Na'ankure zamunte omane vahe'ene megusa mofavre naga'mo'zama, taza huo hu'za kema hazage'na, nagra zamaza hu'noe.
13 The blessing of him who was about to perish came on me; I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Amuha zazamima omanea vahera zamaza nehuge'za, nagrira husga hunante'naze. Ana nehu'na kento a'nanea zamaza nehuge'za tusi muse hu'naze.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.
Maka zama hu'noana fatgo kazigatike hu'noe. Ana nehugeno fatgo navu'nava zamo'a za'za kukenama antaninogeno'ma hiaza huno rufitenante'ne. Hagi fatgoma huno refkohu avu'ava'zamo'a, pristi vahe'mo'zama nentani'za kankrikna huno nasenirera me'ne.
15 I was eyes to blind people; I was feet to lame people.
Zamavuma asuhu'nea vahera kana zamaveri nehu'na, zamagiama haviza hu'nea vahera zamaza huge'za kana vu'naze.
16 I was a father to needy people; I would examine the case even of one whom I did not know.
Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmia nafa zamigna nehu'na, ke'na antahi'nama osu'noa vahe'ma keagafima otizage'na, zamaza hu'na keaga eri ante fatgo hu'noe.
17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous man; I plucked the victim out from between his teeth.
Anumzamofoma amage onte vahe'mo'zama vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hazage'na, ana vahera zamagemazampa ru tavegri'na, zamagipintira eri vari'noe.
18 Then I said, 'I will die in my nest; I will multiply my days like the grains of sand.
Nagrama antahuana, tamagerfa hu'na ama mopafina zazate musenkasea hu'na mani'na vute'na ome ozafa re'na frigahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
19 My roots are spread out to the waters, and dew lies all night on my branches.
Hagi zafamofo rafu'namo ofenkame uramino mopa agu'afinti ti anivazu higeno ani'namo tretre hiaza nehigeno atako'mo aninare runteankna hige'na nagra korapara mani'noane.
20 The honor in me is always fresh, and the bow of my strength is always new in my hand.'
Nagri'ma ko'ma knare nagima nami'naza zamo'a nagripina amne kasefa huno me'ne. Ana nehige'na maka zupa kasefa hankavea erivava hu'na nevue.
21 To me men listened; they waited for me; they stayed silent to hear my advice.
Nagrama antahintahima vahe'mokizmima nezamuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za akohe'za mani'neza, nagri nanekea antahi'naze.
22 After my words were done, they did not speak again; my speech dropped like water on them.
Hagi nagrama keagama huvagama retogeno'a, mago'mo'e huno nagri kerera antemino keaga osu'ne. Na'ankure nagrama hua nanekea antahiso'e hu'nagu anara hu'naze.
23 They always waited for me as they waited for rain; they opened their mouth wide to drink in my words, as they would do for the latter rain.
Vahe'mo'za komaranigu'ma avegama ante'nazageno koma rige'zama musema nehazankna hu'za, nagri nanekema antahi'zankura tusiza huno zamavesi'ne. Ana hige'za za'za knama ko'ma oru'nereti'ma ko'ma rigeno'ma maka zamofo ani'namo'ma muse nehuno ani'na eri mareankna hu'za nagri nanekea muse hu'za eri'naze.
24 I smiled on them when they did not expect it; they did not reject the light of my face.
Hagi vahe'mo'zama antahintahi hakarema nehu'za mani'nazage'na, kiza renezami'na knare navugosa huzami'noe. E'inama hua kazigati zamarimpa zamazeri hankaveti'noe.
25 I selected their way and sat as their chief; I lived like a king in his army, like one who comforts mourners.
Nagra kva vahezmi mani'ne'na, e'ina hiho, amana hiho hu'na vahera zamazeri ante fatgo nehu'na, mago kini ne'mo sondia vahe'amofo amu'nompi nemaniaza nehu'na, zavi'ma ataza vahera zamazeri tagane vahekna hu'noe.
