What you know, I also know; I do (not know less than/know as much as) you.

But I would like to speak to Almighty God, [not to you]; I would like to argue with him [and prove that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong]).
4 Tamagra ana maka'mota havige tusa vahe'mota, havi naneke nenasamize. Tamagra knare osu tusa vahe mani'naze.
As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me, like someone covers [up a bad surface of a wall] with whitewash [MET]. You are all like doctors [MET] [that give people] useless [medicines].

Are you telling lies about me to prove God [is just in causing me to suffer]? Are you saying what is deceitful in order to benefit him?
8 Tamagra Anumzamofo kaziga anteta nanekea keagafina aza huta nehuta, Anumzamofo kaziga anteta aza hu'za nehazo?
Are you trying to defend him? Are you trying to prove [as you would] in a court that he is innocent?

If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good? Or can you deceive him, like you deceive other people?

The things that you say [that you think are] wise are [as useless as] [MET] as ashes; what you say to defend your opinions is no better than [MET] clay [that quickly crumbles].

If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me, but I am going to defend my behavior in his presence [anyway].
16 Hianagi ama ana'ma hanua zamo'a nagu'vazigahie. Na'ankure Anumzamofo avuga kumi vahe'mo'za e'za keaga eme osugahaze.
No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God, [but because I say that I have not done things that are wrong], perhaps, if I can prove that to God, he will save me.”

I certainly do not think [RHQ] that [you or anyone else] will say that what I say is not true; if anyone did that, I would (be silent/stop talking) and die.

“I am requesting you to do two things for me; if you do them, I will (not hide from you/come and stand in front of you) [LIT].

[It seems that] you are writing things to accuse me [of doing things that are wrong], even recalling bad things that I did when I was young.

[It is as though] you have fastened my feet with chains [to prevent me from walking], and you watch me wherever I walk; [It is as though] you even look closely at my footprints [to see where I have gone].
