Job 29
1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
Jopu'a mago'ene keaga'a amanage huno hu'ne,
2 “Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over 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 shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
Anumzamo agra nasenirera tavira remsa hunentege'na, mago zankura nagesa ontahi knare hu'na vu'noe.
4 as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in 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 steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
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 prepared my seat in the street.
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 hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
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 refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Kva vahe'mo'zama keagama nehazaretira nagrama neoge'zama nenage'za, kea osu mani'ne'za zamazanteti zamagitera rehamunki'naze.
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
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 when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it commended 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 delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who 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 ready to perish came on me, and 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 as a robe and a diadem.
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 the blind, and feet to the lame.
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 the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t 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 and plucked the prey out of 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 own house, I will count my days as the 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 root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
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 My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed 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 “Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
Nagrama antahintahima vahe'mokizmima nezamuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za akohe'za mani'neza, nagri nanekea antahi'naze.
22 After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell 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 waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring 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 had no confidence. They didn’t 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 chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the 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.
