Jovu 22

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

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, 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 unto God? Or can he that is wise be profitable unto Him?

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 advantage to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways blameless?

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 reproveth thee, that He entereth 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? And are not thine iniquities without end?

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 hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, 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 hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden 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.

And as a mighty man, who hath the earth, and as a man of rank, who dwelleth 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 hast 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 dread affrighted thee,

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

Or darkness, that thou canst not 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 topmost 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 sayest: 'What doth God know? Can He judge through the dark cloud?

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, that He seeth not; and He walketh in the circuit of heaven.'

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

Wilt 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 unto God: 'Depart from us'; and what could the Almighty do unto them?

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 saw it, and were 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.

'Surely their substance is cut off, and their abundance the fire hath 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; thereby shall thine increase be good.

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

Receive, I pray thee, instruction 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 shalt be built up — if 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.

And lay thy treasure in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

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

And the Almighty be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee;

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

Then surely shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

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

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He will hear thee, and thou shalt 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 shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto 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 shalt say: 'There is lifting up'; for the humble person He saveth.

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 delivereth him that is innocent, yea, thou shalt be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
