Jovu 15

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

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

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 vain 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.

Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.

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, and you choose the language of the crafty.

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

Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, 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 who was born? Or were you brought out 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 counsel 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 don’t know? What do you understand which is not 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 grey-headed and the very aged men, 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, even the word that is gentle towards 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?

that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of 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.

Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, 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 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; that which I have seen I will declare

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

(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;

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 no stranger passed amongst them):

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

the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of 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 sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.

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

He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by 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 wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his 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 to the battle.

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

Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,

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

he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,

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

because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.

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

He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, 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, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on 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 will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.

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 emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness 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 be accomplished before his time. 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 shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as 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 the godless will be barren, and fire will 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 produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
