Jovu 20

1 Hagi anante Na'ama kumateti ne' Sofari'a amanage huno Jopuna kenona hunte'ne,

Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,

2 Nanekema hana nanekemo'a, antahintahinifina knarera osutfa hige'na keka'arera ke nona'a hu'zahue.

I did not suppose that you would answer thus: neither do you understand more than I.

3 Kagrama nazeri havizahu nanekema hana nanekemo'a, tusiza huno nagaze eri namige'na, nagu'areti hu'na keka'arera kenona hugante'za hue.

I will hear my shameful reproach; and the spirit of my understanding answers me.

4 Hanki ese agafare'ma vahe'ma zamazeri fore hige'za ama mopafima mani'za e'za, amare'ma ehanati'naza vahete'ma fore hu'nea zana kagra ontahi'nano,

Hast you [not] known these things of old, from the time that man was set upon the earth?

5 kefo zamavu'zmava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zazatera musena nosage'za, Anumzamofo avu'ava'ma nosaza vahe'mo'za musena nehazanagi, zazatera menora novie.

But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction:

6 Zamavufga rama hu'zazmimo'ene hihamu zmimo'a amename monarega marenerigeno, zamasenimo'a hampo avako hu'ne.

although his gifts should go up to heaven, and his sacrifice reach the clouds.

7 Hianagi rifama retrageno'ma fananema hiaza hu'za fanane hugahaze. Hanki zamage'za antahi'zama hu'naza vahe'mo'za anage hugahaze, zamagra iga mani'naze? hu'za hugahaze.

For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish: and they that knew him shall say, Where is he?

8 Zamagra ava'nafi vahekna hu'za hare'za fanane hugahaze. Hagi vahe'mo'za avanagnaza ke'naza zamo fanane hiankna hu'za ana vahe'mo'za fanane hugahaze.

Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision of the night.

9 Hanki ko'ma zamage'naza vahe'mo'za ru'enena nozmagesageno, naga'zmimozanena ozmagegahaze.

The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.

10 Hanki ana vahe'mofo mofavrezmimo'za, zamunte omne vahe'ma zamazama hanagura memea hugahaze. Na'ankure zmafahe'zama zamunte omne vahe'mokizmi fenoma musufama eri'naza zantamina, zamagra'a zamazampinti ete zami'za vano hugahaze.

Let [his] inferiors destroy his children, and let his hands kindle the fire of sorrow.

11 Hihamu'a me'nenigeno kasefa vahe manigahianagi, ana hihamu hankave'ane frino kugusopafi masegahie.

His bones have been filled with [vigour of] his youth, and it shall lie down with him in the dust.

12 Zamagra kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza zamo'a tusi haga zamavesige'za tima'a aru'za nene'za, zamagefunaretira hune hane nehaze.

Though evil be sweet in his mouth, [though] he will hide it under his tongue;

13 Ana kefo avu'ava zana notrazanki zamagipi haninkofite'za nemanize.

though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, but will keep it in the midst of his throat:

14 Hianagi ana ne'zamo'a aka ome hanigeno, zamarimpafina ha osifavemofo avu'ataga zankna ome hugahie.

yet he shall not at all be able to help himself; the gall of an asp is in his belly.

15 E'ina hinke'za fenoma asagahu nakri'naza zana Anumzamo'a atre'nigeno zamarimpafina omnegosianki, amu'ma atitreaza huno eri atregahie.

[His] wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; a messenger [of wrath] shall drag him out of his house.

16 Hanki ana vahe'mo'za osifa'vemofo avuatga zama'a anivazu hu'za nenesageno, ha' osifavemo zamaprisige'za frigahaze.

And let him suck the poison of serpents, and let the serpent's tongue kill him.

17 Ana hanige'za ru'enena olivi masavena nege, bulimakamofo amirine, tume rima'anena nene'za musena osugahaze.

Let him not see the milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of honey and butter.

18 Hanki eri'zama maraguzati'za eri'za erifore'ma hu'naza zantamina zamunte omne vahe zaminageno maraguzati'za eri'zama eri'naza zamo'a amnezankna hugahie.

He has laboured unprofitably and in vain, [for] wealth of which he shall not taste: [it is] as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he can’t swallow.

19 Na'ankure zamagra zamunte omne vahetmina, rezmatga hu'za zamagra onki'naza none fenozmine eri'naze.

For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: and he has plundered an habitation, though he built [it] not.

20 Zamagragukema antahi vahe'mo'za maka'zana ante'nazanagi, ru'enema maka'zama erisaza zankuke nehaze. Hanki rama'a zantmima antesaza zanku antahintahi hugahazanagi, ana zantamina ontegahaze.

There is no security to his possessions; he shall not be saved by his desire.

21 Hagi ne'zama neneno'a magore huno negenora notreankino, fenozamimo'a zazatera omneno haviza hugahie.

There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish.

22 Hanki rama'a fenoza antegahazanagi, hazenkefi ufre'za knazampina maniza vugahaze.

But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened; and all distress shall come upon him.

23 Hanki e'inahukna vahera Anumzamo'a arimpafina hazenkeza eri avitenenteno tusi arimpa ahenteno hazenkea amigahie.

If by any means he would fill his belly, let [God] send upon him the fury of wrath; let him bring a torrent of pains upon him.

24 Hanki ainireti'ma tro'ma hu'nesaza ha'zanku koro hu'za fregahazanagi, bronsire kevenuti zamahegahaze.

And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword; let the brazen bow wound him.

25 Hanki ana kevenu'ma ahe taponesigeno amagenafinti'ma ruraponenkeno'a, keve agonare'ma koramo'ma hanigeno kesuno'a tusi agogogu hugahie.

And let the arrow pierce through his body; and let the stars be against his dwelling-place: let terrors come upon him.

26 Hanki maka zago fenozmia hanimpi fanene hanigeno, mago'ama mesia fenozmine seli nozmi'nena tusi'a tevemo hagana hagana huno te fanene hugahie.

And let all darkness wait for him: a fire that burns not out shall consume him; and let a stranger plague his house.

27 Monamo'a kefozazmia eriama nehinkeno, mopamo'a maka zama hu'naza zana huama huzmantegahie.

And let the heaven reveal his iniquities, and the earth rise up against him.

28 Hanki ana vahe'mokizmi none fenozazminena tihageno erino nevanigeno, Anumzamofo arimpahe zamo'a tihageankna huno zamavareno vugahie.

Let destruction bring his house to an end; let a day of wrath come upon him.

29 Anumzamo'a kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahera e'ina huno zamahe fanane hugahie. Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahetmimofo mizama Anumzamo'ma havi miza erigahazema huno'ma huhampri zmante'nea mizana e'ina hu'za erigahaze.

This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of his goods [appointed him] by the all-seeing [God].
