Jovu 16

1 Hagi Jopu'a anante Elifasine ruga'amokizmia amanage huno kezmirera kenona hu'ne,

Then Job answered:

2 Rama'a zupa ama ana nanekea antahi'na oanagi, magore huno ama ana nanekema hazazamo'a naza osutfa nehigeta tamasunkura hunonantaze.

“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.

3 Hanki nazeri amuhoma hu nanekema nehazana taganeta omanigahazo? Na'a nehigeta kea huvava huta nevaze?

Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?

4 Hanki nagrama huaza huta tamagrama knafima manizasina, tamagrama nehazaza hu'na kefintira tamazeri haviza nehu'na nagena rusine.

I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.

5 Hianagi nagrama huazama huta tamagra knafima manizasina, nagra tamazeri hanavetikea huneramugetma fru hutma manizasine.

But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.

6 Hianagi nagra'ama naguvazi kazigati kema huampi, kema osu'ma manuampi, ana avamenteke knazanimo'a vagaore meno nevie.

Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?

7 Tamagerfa huno Anumzamo'a mika hanaveni'a erinetreno, naga'ni'a mika zamahe vaganere.

Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.

8 Ana nehuno nazeri havizantfa higeno, navufgamo'a zaferina'nire akamare'ne. E'ina'ma hia zama vahe'mo'zama nege'za kumi hu'nea zamofo nona'a knazana e'nerie hu'za hu'naze.

You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.

9 Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahenenanteno nagrira nazeri haviza hu'ne. Agra tusi rimpagu nehuno avera aninkreki nehuno, avua anteno nenageno nage raponeno nenage.

His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.

10 Hanki vahe'mo'za zamagira renagate nenamiza, nameragente rupro hunenamiza, huhaviza hunante'za eri mago hu'za ha'rarenante'naze.

They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.

11 Anumzamo'a kumi vahetmimofo zamazampi navrente'ne. Hanki Agra nazeriteno kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmi matevu zami'ne.

God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.

12 Hanki korapara hakare'a zamo'a knare huno me'nege'na knare hu'na mani'noanagi, Anumzamo'a nanankente navazu huno nazeri taganavazi'ne. E'ina nehuno nazeri haviza hunaku hankogna huno nazeri oti'ne.

I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;

13 Ana hige'za kevema nahe vahe'mo'za manigaginante'naze. E'ina hu'nazageno Anumzamo'a asunkura huonanteno kevea nenahegeno, navinompafi timo'a mopafina herafi neramie.

His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.

14 Hanki Anumzamo'a mago zupa natrege'na amnea omani'noanki, sondia vahe'mo'zama ha' vahe'ma nezmahazaza huno maka zupa naheva naheva huno tusi kano nenamie.

He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.

15 Hagi nagra nasunku nehu'na kopra beki kukena hati'na nentanina, navufga rama nehua zana atrogeno kugusopafi evurami'ne.

I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.

16 Hagi zavi'ma netogeno'a, navugosamo'a korankifa nehegeno, navumo'a finigu ahe'ne.

My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;

17 Hianagi nagra mago hazenkea osu'noanki, fatgo hu'na nunamuna nehue.

yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.

18 Hagi mopamoka korani'a refira otenegeno, nagrama knama enerua zankura koranimo'a krafagea huno vino.

O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

19 Hagi meninena ko, nagri'ma huama'ma huno tamage nehie huno'ma huama'ma hunantesia vahera monafinka mani'ne. Nagri'ma nahokeno nanekema hu' vahera manisga huno anagamu mani'ne.

Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.

20 Hagi aronenimo'za huhaviza hunenantazage'na Anumzanimofontega nunamuna hu'na zavira atevava nehue.

My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.

21 Hagi nagri'ma navenesiana Anumzane nagri amu'nompina mago vahe mani'neno nagri nagira erino Anumzanena nanekea haniegu nehue.

Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!

22 Na'ankure nagrama fri'nama fri vahe kumategama nevuna, ete omesua kafua osi'a me'ne.

For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
