Jovu 15

1 Hagi anante Tema kumateti ne' Elifasi'a amanage huno Jopuna kenona hunte'ne,

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:

2 Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a e'inara huno agafa'a omne kea ohantagege, zage hanati kazigati amuhonentake zaho'mo eno eme vazi zoreankna huno agi'arina osiresine.

Should a wise man answer with arguments of wind, Or fill his bosom with the east wind?

3 Hagi knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a nena'a omne kea huno ke hara regahifi?

Should he argue with speech that helpeth him not, And with words which do not profit him?

4 Hianagi kagra Anumzamofona korora huntenka, agesga hunka Agri agorga nomanine.

Behold, thou makest the fear of God a vain thing, And discouragest prayer before him.

5 Hagi kumika'amo hugasmigenka nanekea nehane. Kagra knare nanekema hunka vahe'ma azeri savri'ma hu'arera knare hu'nane.

Yea, thy own mouth proclaimeth thy iniquity, Though thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

6 Nagra huhaviza hunogantoanki, kagri kagi'mo huhaviza hunegante. Kagri kagefu'namo maka havizanka'a huama hunegante.

Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; Thy own lips testify against thee.

7 Kagra kagesama antahi'nana, vahera fore osu'nege'na nagra esera fore hu'noe hunka nehampi? Hifi kagrama kagesama antahinana, agonaramina fore osu'nege'na nagra fore hutogeno, henka fore hu'ne hunka nehano?

Art thou the first man that was born? Wast thou formed before the hills?

8 Anumzamo'ma Agra'a keagama retroma hifina kagra mani'nampi? Hagi kagrake'za knare antahi'zana erinampi?

Hast thou listened in the council of God, And drawn all wisdom to thyself?

9 Hagi tagrama antahita ketama osu'nona zana, na'a tagaterenka nentahinka, tagrama antahini'ma osu'nona zana, na'a tagaterenka kagra antahinira hu'nane?

What dost thou know, that we know not also? What dost thou understand, that is a secret to us?

10 Hagi tagri kazigama mani'naza ranra vahe'ma, efeke zamazoka'ma reana vahe'mo'za kagri negafana agatere'za za'zakna mani'naze.

With us are the aged and hoary-headed; Much older than thy father.

11 Hagi knafima mani'nankeno Anumzamo'ma kazeri so'ema hiazamo'a, osi huno knarera huogantefi? Hagi akoheno'ma fru kema hugamia kemo'a, knarera huoganteo?

Dost thou despise the consolations of God, And words so full of kindness to thee?

12 Na'amo higeno antahintahi kamo'a afe'arera nevigeno, kavumo'a ke so'ea nosie?

Why hath thy passion taken possession of thee? And why this winking of thine eyes?

13 E'ina'ma nehigenka Anumzamofona krimpa ahenentenka, keonke keretira azeri havizana nehane?

For against God hast thou turned thy spirit, And uttered such words from thy mouth.

14 Hagi ama mopafina magore huno agru vahera omani'neankino, ama mopafina fatgo vahera omanitfa hu'ne.

What is man, that he should be pure, And he that is born of woman, that he should be innocent?

15 Hagi ko, Anumzamo'a ankero vahetmina antahi nozmie. Hagi monafi vahe'mo'enena Anumzamofo avurera agrua osu'naze.

Behold, He putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And the heavens are not pure in his sight;

16 Hagi mopafi vahe'mota agru osuta kumike vahe mani'nonankita, kefo avu'ava'ma hu'zankura tinku'ma ave'nesigeno'ma hiaza huno tusi taga'nete.

Much less, abominable and polluted man, Who drinketh iniquity as water.

17 Hagi Jopuga nagra kaveri hugahuanki, kama antahio. Nagrama ke'na anthi'nama hu'noa zamofona huama hu'na kasamigahue.

Hear me, and I will show thee, And that which I have seen will I declare;

18 Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'zama zamafahe'mofompinti'ma eri'naza antahintahia eri fraoki, eri ama' hazage'na nagra antahi'noe.

Which the wise men have told, And not kept concealed, as received from their fathers;

19 Hagi e'inahu antahi'zama eri'naza vahera zamagra mopa agafa vahe mani'naze. Hagi zamagra emani vahera omani'naze.

To whom alone the land was given, And among whom not a stranger wandered.

20 Hagi kefo avu'ava zama nehia vahe'mo'a, mika zupa atazampi manino nevie.

“All his days the wicked man is in pain; Yea, all the years, that are laid up for the oppressor.

21 Ana nehuno azeri agogofe'zamofo agasasankea antahi vava nehuno, musema huno mani knafinena ha' vahekura korora hu vava nehie.

A fearful sound is in his ears; In peace the destroyer cometh upon him.

22 Hagi agrama amentintima hiana, fegi'ma atirami'na hanizampima vanuana, bainati kazinteti nahe frigahaze huno korora nehie.

He hath no hope that he shall escape from darkness; He is set apart for the sword.

23 Hagi agra bretigura hakeno vano nehuno, igati bretia erigahueha huno agesa nentahie. Hanizamo'ma retrotra'ma huno'ma tava'oma'are'ma me'neana, ko antahino keno hu'ne.

He wandereth about, seeking bread; He knoweth that a day of darkness is at hand.

24 Atazamo'ene hazenke zamo'ene azeri koro higeno, hate vunaku trotra nehia kini ne'mo nehiaza huno antahintahi hakare nehie.

Distress and anguish fill him with dread; They prevail against him like a king ready for the battle.

25 Na'ankure azana anakino mopa nemasagino, Hanavenentake Anumzamofona huhaviza hunte'ne.

Because he stretched forth his hand against God, And bade defiance to the Almighty,

26 Hagi agra hanko azampina eri'neno Anumzamofona hara huntenaku agareno vu'ne.

And ran against him with outstretched neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

27 Hanki afovamo'a avugosa eri anonevazigeno afafafina afovamo'a avite'neanagi,

Because he covered his face with fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins,

28 agra haviza hu'nea kumapi nemanino, vahe omani zute noma pasru hu'zama hu'nea nompi manigahie.

And dwelt in desolated cities, In houses which no man inhabiteth, That are ready to become heaps.

29 Hanki fenozamine zago zmimo'enena zazatera omne fanane huge, keonke zama eri nafa'ama hu'zantmimo'a ruzahera huno mopa atumparera vuno enora osugahie.

He shall not be rich; his substance shall not endure, And his possessions shall not be extended upon the earth.

30 Hanki agra hanizampintira atreno ofregahie. Hagi zagemofo amuhomo ne'zana te hagege nehanigeno, Anumzamo'ma asimu'ma antesia zaho'mo, ahe fanane hugahie.

He shall not escape from darkness, And the flame shall dry up his branches; Yea, by the breath of His mouth shall he be taken away.

31 Hanki negi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za nena'a omne fenozantera zamentintia osiho. Na'ankure e'inahu vahe'mo'a agra agu'agesa'ama omne zampintira mago mizana e'origahie.

“Let not man trust in vanity! he will be deceived; For vanity shall be his recompense.

32 Hanki e'inahu vahera kasefa vahe mani'neza ame hu'za frisageno, zagasefage ani'nane zafamo'ma hariri hiaza hu'za fanene hugahaze.

He shall come to his end before his time, And his branch shall not be green.

33 Hanki agra nena osu'negeno tagi'za tro hu'naza waini tinkna nehuno, olivi zafa amosaremo raga'a fore osu'negeno ame huno tagiramiankna hugahie.

He shall shake off his unripe fruit like the vine, And shed his blossoms like the olive-tree.

34 Hanki Anumzamofo kema antahino amage'ma onte vahe'mo'a mofavrea kase nontesigeno, havigema huno knare osu kankmunteti'ma zagoma erino feno vahe'ma mani'nesia vahe'mofo seli nomo'a teveregahie.

The house of the unrighteous shall be famished, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

35 Na'ankure ana vahe'mo'a hazenke zamofo amu'ene huno kefo avu'ava'za kasenente. E'ina huno arimpafintira havigema huno vahe'ma revatgama hu'za erifore nehie.

They conceive mischief, and bring forth misery, And their breast deviseth deceit.”
