Jovu 15

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

And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: —

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.

Doth a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill [with] an east wind his belly?

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

To reason with a word not useful? And speeches — no profit in them?

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

Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.

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

For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.

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

Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy 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?

The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?

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

Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?

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 hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou — and it is not with 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.

Both the gray-headed And the very aged [are] among us — Greater than thy father [in] days.

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?

Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word [is] with thee,

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

What — doth thine heart take thee away? And what — are thine eyes high?

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

For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out 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 is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?

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

Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.

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.

Also — surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.

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

I shew thee — hearken to me — And this I have seen and 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 declare — And have not hid — 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 them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst:

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

'All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.

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

A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him.

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

He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched [is] he 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 is wandering for bread — 'Where [is] it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.

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

Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.

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

For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.

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

He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.

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

For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over [his] confidence.

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

And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been 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 is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.

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 turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His 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 put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.

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

Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not 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 shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.

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 profane [is] gloomy, And fire hath consumed 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.

To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
