Jovu 13
1 Hagi tamagra antahiho, ama ana maka nanekema tamagrama hazana nagra navufinti'ene nagesafinti antahi'na ke'na hute'na, antahi ama hu'noe.
Look, I've seen all this with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and I understand it.
2 Hagi nagra'enena tamagrama hu'nazaza hu'na ama' antahi'zane vahe mani'noankita nagrira nagateore'naze.
I know what you know. You're no better than me.
3 Hianagi nagra Hihamu'ane Anumzane nanekea hu'za nehue. Knafima mani'nama nevua zanku Anumzamo'ene keharare'za nehue.
But I would still like to speak to the Almighty: I want to prove myself to God!
4 Tamagra ana maka'mota havige tusa vahe'mota, havi naneke nenasamize. Tamagra knare osu tusa vahe mani'naze.
As for you, you cover things up by telling lies! You are all like doctors who can't heal anyone!
5 Hagi tamagrama tamagi'ma hamunkita manisnuta knare antahi'zana erigahaze.
I wish you would all be quiet! That would be the wisest thing for you to do.
6 Hagi knama e'nerua zanku'ma ke ha'mareramante'nuana tamagesa anteta antahiho.
Listen to my argument and pay attention to what I have to say.
7 Hagi tamagra havigereti Anumzamofona aza hanune huta keagafina nehazo? Tamagra Anumzamofo kaziga anteta azahunaku kehara nehazo?
Do you think you can tell lies to defend God? Are you talking deceitfully on his behalf?
8 Tamagra Anumzamofo kaziga anteta nanekea keagafina aza huta nehuta, Anumzamofo kaziga anteta aza hu'za nehazo?
Or are you wanting to show God favoritism? Are you going to argue God's case for him?
9 Hagi amana'ma nehazazama tamageno erifore'ma hanuno'a, Agra knare avu'ava huramantegahifi? Hagi tamagra vahe'ma revatgama nehazaza huta Anumzamofona revatga hugahazo?
Will you be found to be doing good when God examines you? Can you fool him as if he's a human being?
10 Tamagrama oku'ama havige huta Anumzamofoma azama hunaku'ma hanazana, hazenkefi manigahaze.
No, he will definitely rebuke you if you secretly show him favoritism!
11 Agra hihamu masa'anuti tamazeri koro hinketa, tusi tamagogogu hugahaze.
Isn't his majesty terrifying to you? Aren't you so afraid of him you're paralyzed?
12 Hagi knare antahi'zama eri naneketmimo'a, amnezankna huno tanefakna hugahie. Hagi tamagra'a kema eri hanavetiku'ma nehaza kemo'a mopa kavomo'ma tako'ma nehiankna nehie.
Your sayings are as helpful as ashes; your arguments as weak as clay.
13 Hanki tamagra kea osutma natrenke'na mani'neno. Hagi natrenke'na nagrani'a kea nehu'na anankemofo nona'a nagra'a eri'neno.
Be quiet. Don't talk to me. Let me speak, come what may.
14 Hagi frisuo, manisuana nagri'za me'neanki'na, na'aneoma hunaku'ma hanua nanekea amne hugahue.
I take responsibility for myself; I am ready to risk my life.
15 Anumzamo'a nahe frigahianagi, mago'arega amuha'zani'a omne'neanki Agripinke me'ne. Nagra knazani'a eri'na Agri'ene kehara hugahue.
Even though he kills me, I will hope in him. I am still going to defend my ways before him.
16 Hianagi ama ana'ma hanua zamo'a nagu'vazigahie. Na'ankure Anumzamofo avuga kumi vahe'mo'za e'za keaga eme osugahaze.
By doing this I will be saved since no godless person could come before him.
17 Hagi nanekema hanuana antahi so'e hiho. Tamagesa ante so'e huneta nanekema hanuana antahiho.
Listen carefully to what I say, pay attention to my explanation.
18 Hagi nagrama keagafima hanua keaga hago retrotra hu'noanki'na, nagrani'a hazenkeni'a omne'ne hu'na nazeri ama hugahue.
Look, I've prepared my case—I know I will be proved right.
19 Hagi ama ana nanekema nehanugeno'a iza haviza hu'nane hunora hugahie? Hagi ana nanekema hanugetama havige hanema huta hanage'na, nagra ke osu' mani'ne'na frigahue.
Who wants to argue with me? If I'm proved wrong, I'm prepared to be quiet and die.
20 Hagi Anumzamoka tare zanku kantahigoanki, tare'za hunantege'na nagra kagri kavurera frara oki'neno.
God, I have two requests, then I can face you.
21 Nagritetira kazana erisga hunka nazeri haviza nosunka, knazana naminka nazeri korora osuo.
Stop beating me, and stop terrifying me.
22 Hagi Kagra keaga nasmige'na kenona huganta'neno. Huge natrege'na keaga kasmi'nena kenona hunka nasamio.
Then call, and I will answer. Or let me speak, and then answer me.
23 Nagra nama'a hazenke hu'na kumira hu'nofi nasmige'na antahi'neno? Nagra nankna kazigati krimpa eri haviza hu'na kumira hu'nofi naveri huo?
What are my sins and iniquities? Show me what have I done wrong; how have I rebelled against you?
24 Nahigenka kamagena hunenaminka, ha' vahe'ka'ama hunentana kavukvara hunenantane?
Why are you unfriendly towards me? Why do you treat me as your enemy?
25 Hagi Kagra zaho'mo'ma eri tasinoma via zafa ani'na azeri koro nehunka, hagage trazama zaho'mo'ma eri hareno'ma viana nevaririno?
Would you frighten a leaf blown by the wind or hunt down a piece of straw?
26 Hagi Kagrama hana nanekemo'a natage'za nenamigenka, nehazavema mani'nenama hu'noa kumira eri nagumpina nentane.
For you write down bitter things against me and pay me back for the sins of my youth.
27 Kagra tarega nagiararena zafafi erintenka kina hunenantenka, kama vanoma nehuankana rezaganenka negenka maka nagaka negane.
You put my feet in the stocks. You keep an eye on every step I take. You even inspect my footprints!
28 Hagi vahe'mota tavufgamo'a kasri zankna huge, atafa kukena hakanomo neankna nehie.
I'm falling apart like something rotten, like moth-eaten clothes.
