Jovu 22

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

Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, 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 serviceable unto God? Truly the intelligent is serviceable unto 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 art righteous? or is it any gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

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

Is it out of fear of thee that he will reproach thee? or go 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 evil great? and no end to thy 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 hast taken a pledge from thy brothers 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 from the hungry thou hast withholden bread.

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 man of a strong arm, he obtained the land, and the highly honored could dwell therein.

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

Widows hast thou sent 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 are snares round about thee, and sudden dread terrifieth thee.

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

Or seest thou not the darkness? and the abundance of water which covereth 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 beholding the highest elevation of the stars, however 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?

But thou sayest, “What doth God know? can he judge behind the darkness?

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

Thick clouds are a covering for him, so that he will not see; and he walketh along on the circle of heaven.”

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

Wilt thou [thus] observe the path of ancient times which the men of injustice 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 shrivelled up before their time, whose foundation was flooded away like a river;

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

Who said unto God, “'Depart from us:” and what wrought the Almighty for 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.

And yet it was he that filled their houses with good things; but the counsel of the wicked be [still] 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 will see it, and be glad; and the innocent will 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.

“Is not he destroyed that rose up against us, and hath not the fire consumed what they had left?”

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.

Do but become acquainted with him, and be at peace: thereby will happiness come unto thee.

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

Do but accept instruction from his mouth, and lay up his saying 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, so thou wilt but remove wrong-doing far away 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 throw down in the dust precious metals, and [the gold of] Ophir to the stones of the brooks:

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

Then will the Almighty be thy precious metal, and brightly-shining silver unto thee.

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

For then wilt thou have in the Almighty thy delight, and thou canst lift up unto God thy face.

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

Thou wilt make entreaty unto him, and he will hear thee, and thy vows wilt thou pay.

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 if thou decree a thing, it will be fulfilled unto thee; and upon thy ways the light will shine.

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

For when men are brought low, thou wilt say, Pride [hath done it]; but those of lowly eyes [God] will help.

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 even deliver him who is not guiltless: and thou wilt be delivered by the purity of thy hands.
