< 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.
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2 Hagi nagra'enena tamagrama hu'nazaza hu'na ama' antahi'zane vahe mani'noankita nagrira nagateore'naze.
What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.
3 Hianagi nagra Hihamu'ane Anumzane nanekea hu'za nehue. Knafima mani'nama nevua zanku Anumzamo'ene keharare'za nehue.
Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4 Tamagra ana maka'mota havige tusa vahe'mota, havi naneke nenasamize. Tamagra knare osu tusa vahe mani'naze.
But ye are plasterers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5 Hagi tamagrama tamagi'ma hamunkita manisnuta knare antahi'zana erigahaze.
Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it would be your wisdom.
6 Hagi knama e'nerua zanku'ma ke ha'mareramante'nuana tamagesa anteta antahiho.
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Hagi tamagra havigereti Anumzamofona aza hanune huta keagafina nehazo? Tamagra Anumzamofo kaziga anteta azahunaku kehara nehazo?
Will ye speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for Him?
8 Tamagra Anumzamofo kaziga anteta nanekea keagafina aza huta nehuta, Anumzamofo kaziga anteta aza hu'za nehazo?
Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for God?
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?
Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?
10 Tamagrama oku'ama havige huta Anumzamofoma azama hunaku'ma hanazana, hazenkefi manigahaze.
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly show favour.
11 Agra hihamu masa'anuti tamazeri koro hinketa, tusi tamagogogu hugahaze.
Shall not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?
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 memorials shall be like unto ashes, your eminences to eminences of 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.
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14 Hagi frisuo, manisuana nagri'za me'neanki'na, na'aneoma hunaku'ma hanua nanekea amne hugahue.
Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
15 Anumzamo'a nahe frigahianagi, mago'arega amuha'zani'a omne'neanki Agripinke me'ne. Nagra knazani'a eri'na Agri'ene kehara hugahue.
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue 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.
This also shall be my salvation, that a hypocrite cannot come before Him.
17 Hagi nanekema hanuana antahi so'e hiho. Tamagesa ante so'e huneta nanekema hanuana antahiho.
Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.
18 Hagi nagrama keagafima hanua keaga hago retrotra hu'noanki'na, nagrani'a hazenkeni'a omne'ne hu'na nazeri ama hugahue.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
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 is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.
20 Hagi Anumzamoka tare zanku kantahigoanki, tare'za hunantege'na nagra kagri kavurera frara oki'neno.
Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from Thee:
21 Nagritetira kazana erisga hunka nazeri haviza nosunka, knazana naminka nazeri korora osuo.
Withdraw Thy hand far from me; and let not Thy terror make me afraid.
22 Hagi Kagra keaga nasmige'na kenona huganta'neno. Huge natrege'na keaga kasmi'nena kenona hunka nasamio.
Then call Thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer Thou 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?
How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24 Nahigenka kamagena hunenaminka, ha' vahe'ka'ama hunentana kavukvara hunenantane?
Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine 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?
Wilt Thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?
26 Hagi Kagrama hana nanekemo'a natage'za nenamigenka, nehazavema mani'nenama hu'noa kumira eri nagumpina nentane.
That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, and make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.
27 Kagra tarega nagiararena zafafi erintenka kina hunenantenka, kama vanoma nehuankana rezaganenka negenka maka nagaka negane.
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;
28 Hagi vahe'mota tavufgamo'a kasri zankna huge, atafa kukena hakanomo neankna nehie.
Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
