Jovu 22

1 Hanki anante Temani kumateti ne' Elifasi'a amanage huno Jopuna kenona hunte'ne.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,

2 Magore huno ama mopafi vahe'mo'a Anumzamofona aza osugahie. Ana nehanigeno, knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a agra'a aza hugahianagi, Anumzamofona aza osugahie.

Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

3 Kagrama fatgo kavukva'ma hanana zamo'a Hankavenentake Anumzamofo avurera amne zankna nehanigeno, knare kavukva'ma hnana zamo'a, Anumzamofona aza osugahie.

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou are righteous? Or is it gain to him that thou make thy ways perfect?

4 Hagi kagrama Anumzamofo agorga nemaninka, mono'ma hunentanana amanahu knazana atregeno kazeri havizana nehuno keaga huganteresino?

Is it for thy fear of him that he reproves thee, that he enters with thee into judgment?

5 I'o kagra rama'a kumi hunka nevankeno kumikamo'a hihi huno mareri'nea agafare Anumzamo'a keaga hunegante.

Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.

6 Hagi roneka'amo'za kagripinti'ma zagoma nofi hunaku'ma hazagenka, zagoni'ma eme nenamita ete erisaze nehunka kukena'zamia erintanke'za zamavufaga zamavapako vu'naze.

For thou have taken pledges from thy brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

7 Ana nehunka tinku'ma nehaza vahera tina nozaminka, zamagaku'ma nehaza vahera ne'zana ozami'nane.

Thou have not given water to the weary to drink, and thou have withheld bread from the hungry.

8 Kagrama kagesa antahi'nana, hankave vahe'mo'zage'za mopa eri nafa'a nehazage'za, mopama eriga vahe'mo'zage enerize hunka kagesa nentahine.

But as for the mighty man, he had the land. And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

9 Kento a'nanemo'zama zamazama hananegu'ma kagrite'ma ne-azana zamatranke'za amne nevazagenka, megusa mofavre nagazmia zamazeri haviza nehane.

Thou have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

10 E'ina hu'negu menina hazenke zamo'a kukomo hiaza huno, maka asoparega kazeri kagigenka mani'nankeno antri hanaza huno koro'zamo'a kagrite ne-e.

Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubles thee,

11 E'ina agafare hanizamo'a kavua rehani higenka nonkankeno, ti hageno refiteaza huno knazamo'a, kagrira rufitenegante.

or darkness, so that thou cannot see, and abundance of waters cover thee.

12 Hianagi menina Jopuga antahio, Anumzana rankrerfa hu'nea Anumzankino amunagamuma me'nea hanafitamina zamagatereno amenagame monafi nemanie.

Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

13 Hianagi kagra amanage hunka nehane, nagrama nehua navu'nava zana inankna huno Anumzamo'a keno antahino nehie? Agra haninentake hampompi mani'neankino inankna huno tage amara huno nerageno, refkora huno tagegahie?

And thou say, What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

14 Tapa hampomo Anumzamofo avurera anteso higeno norage. Ana nehigeno agra monamofona agatereno onaga'a vano nehuno norage.

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.

15 Hanki Jopuga antahio, ko'ma kumi vahe'mo'zama hu'naza zamavu'zmava nehunka zamage ante'za nehampi?

Will thou keep the old way which wicked men have trodden?

16 Nozamima azeri oti'zama ki'naza tra'ma timo hageno erino viankna huno ana kumi'ma nehaza vahera tavava ozafa ore'ne'za kasefa vahe mani'neza frigahaze.

Who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

17 Anage nehu'za Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a na'a hurantegahie. Tatarenka vuo hu'za nehaze.

who said to God, Depart from us, and, What can the Almighty do for us?

18 Anage nehazanagi e'i ana Anumzamoke nozamifina knare'nare fenozana eri antevi tezmante'ne. E'ina hu'negu kefo zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za antahintahia nagra ovaririgahue.

Yet he filled their houses with good things. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

19 Kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'ma Anumzamo'ma zamazeri havizama hige'zama, fatgo avu'ava'zama nehaza vahe'mo'za nezamage'za muse nehaze. Ana nehanage'za ke'zami omne vahe'mo'zama nezamage'za zamagiza regahaze.

The righteous see it, and are glad. And the innocent laugh them to scorn,

20 Ana nehu'za, anage hugahaze, ha' vahetimofona tamagerfa hu'za zamazeri haviza nehazageno, tevemo fenozamia tefanane hie hu'za hugahaze.

Saying, Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, and the remnant of them, the fire has consumed.

21 Hagi Jopuga menina Anumzamofonte kagraka'a anteraminka nemaninka, kasunku hunka Agrane kea eri fatgo nehunka krimpa fru hunka manio. E'inama hanankeno'a, nomani zanka'afina maka zamo'a knare hugahie.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace. By this good shall come to thee.

22 Amama kavumaro'ma antekema kasamuana antahiso'e nehunka, kagu'afi erintegeno meno.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.

23 Hanki kagrama ete rukrahe hunka Hankavenentake Anumzamofonte'ma esnankeno'a, maka knazanka'a eri netreno ete nomani'zanka'a eri so'e hugantegahie. E'ina hu'negu menina nomanizankafima kefo kavukva zama me'neniana eri atro.

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shall be built up, thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.

24 Ana nehunka goligu'ma kavesikavesi'ma nehana zana netrenka, knare zantfama hu'nea golima Ofiri mopafinti'ma eri'nana golia atregeno havemoke'ma hu'nea tinkagomupi vino.

Then thou shall lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

25 Ana nehunka atregeno Hankavenentake Anumzamo goli ka'agnara huno nemanino, knare zantfama hu'nea silvagnara huno manino.

Yea, the Almighty will be thy treasure, and precious silver to thee.

26 Anama hanigenka kagra Hankavenentake Anumzamofona tusi muse hunentenka, kesga hunka Anumzamofona antahimigahane.

For then shall thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shall lift up thy face to God.

27 Kagra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hanankeno, nunamunka'a antahi kamigahie. Ana nehanigenka kagrama huvempama hu'nana keka'a amage antegahane.

Thou shall make thy prayer to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shall pay thy vows.

28 Kagrama nazano hunaku'ma kagesama nentahinka anazama tro'ma hnana zamo'a knare zanke nehanigeno, kama vanana kampina tavi'mo remsa huganteno vugahie.

Thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee. And light shall shine upon thy ways.

29 Hanki mago'a vahe'mo'zama knafima mani'nesnagenka kagrama hunka, zamaza huo hunkama hanankeno'a, Anumzamo'a zamagu'vazigahie.

When they cast thee down, thou shall say, There is lifting up, and he will save the humble man.

30 Kumi'ma nehaza vahe'enena Anumzamo'a zamagu vazigahie. Na'ankure kagrama Anumzamofo avure'ma agruma hunka mani'nana zanku huno zamagura vazigahie.

He will deliver even him who is not innocent. Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
