Jovu 15

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

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered 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 useless knowledge and fill himself with the east wind?

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

Should he reason with unprofitable talk or with speeches with which he can do no good?

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

Indeed, you diminish respect for God; you obstruct devotion to him,

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

for your iniquity teaches your mouth; you choose to have the tongue of a crafty man.

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

Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; indeed, your own lips testify against you.

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?

Are you the first man that was born? Were you brought into existence before the hills?

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

Have you heard the secret knowledge of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

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 do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not also in 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 both the gray-headed and the very aged men who are much older than your 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?

Are the consolations of God too small for you, the words that are gentle toward you?

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

Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,

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

so that you turn your spirit against God and bring out such words from your 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 clean? What is he who is born of a woman that he should be righteous?

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

See, God puts no trust even in his holy ones; indeed, the heavens are not clean 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.

how much less clean is one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

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

I will show you; listen to me; I will announce to you the things I have seen,

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

the things that wise men have passed down from their fathers, the things that their ancestors did not hide.

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

These were their ancestors, to whom alone the land was given, and among whom no stranger ever passed.

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

The wicked man twists in pain all his days, the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor to suffer.

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

A sound of terrors is in his ears; while he is in prosperity, the destroyer will come upon him.

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

He does not think that he will return out of darkness; the sword waits for him.

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 goes to various places for bread, saying, 'Where is it?' He knows that the 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 make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for battle.

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

Because he has reached out with his hand against God and has behaved proudly against the Almighty,

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

this wicked man runs at God with a stiff neck, with a thick shield.

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

This is true, even though he has covered his face with his fat and gathered fat on his loins,

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

and has lived in desolate cities; in houses which no man inhabits now and which were 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 will not be rich; his wealth will not last and his possessions will not spread over the land.

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 will not depart out of darkness; a flame will dry up his stalks; at the breath of God's mouth he will go 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 him not trust in useless things, deceiving himself; for uselessness will be his reward.

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

It will happen before his time should come to die; his branch will 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 will drop his unripe grapes like a grapevine; he will cast off his flowers 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.

For the company of godless people will be barren; fire will consume their 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 give birth to iniquity; their womb conceives deceit.”
