Jovu 22

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

Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite 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.

Is it not the Lord that teaches understanding and knowledge?

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

For what matters it to the Lord, if you were blameless in [your] works? or is it profitable that you should perfect your way?

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

Will you maintain and plead your own cause? and will he enter into judgement with you?

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

Is not your wickedness abundant, and your sins innumerable?

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.

And you have taken security of your brethren for nothing, and have taken away the clothing of the naked.

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

Neither have you given water to the thirsty to drink, but have taken away the morsel of 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.

And you have accepted the persons of some; and you have established those [that were already settled] on the earth.

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

But you have sent widows away empty, and has afflicted orphans.

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 have compassed you, and disastrous war has troubled you.

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

The light has proved darkness to you, and water has covered you on your lying down.

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

Does not he that dwells in the high places observe? and has he not brought down the proud?

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 you has said, What does the Mighty One know? does he judge in the dark?

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

A cloud is his hiding-place, and he shall not be seen; and he passes through the circle of heaven.

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

Will you [not] mark the old way, which righteous 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 seized before their time: their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream.

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

Who say, What will the Lord do to us? or what will the Almighty bring upon 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 for the wicked is far from him.

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 have seen [it], and laughed, and the blameless one has derided [them].

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

Verily their substance has been utterly destroyed, and the fire shall devour what is left of their [property].

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.

Be firm, I pray you, if you can endure; then your fruit shall prosper.

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

And receive a declaration from his mouth, and lay up his words in your 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.

And if you shall turn and humble yourself before the Lord, you have [thus] removed unrighteousness far from your habitation.

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.

You shall lay up for yourself [treasure] in a heap on the rock; and Sophir [shall be] as the rock of the torrent.

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

So the Almighty shall be your helper from enemies, and he shall bring you forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire.

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

Then shall you have boldness before the Lord, looking up cheerfully to heaven.

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

And he shall hear you when you pray to him, and he shall grant you [power] to pay your 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.

And he shall establish to you again a habitation of righteousness and there shall be light upon your paths.

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

Because you have humbled yourself; and you shall say, [Man] has behaved proudly, but he shall save him that is of lowly eyes.

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 shall deliver the innocent, and do you save yourself by your pure hands.
