Jovu 23

1 Hanki Jopu'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne.

And Job made answer and said,

2 Nagrira menina mani'zanimo'a amuho nehige'na keha regahuanki'na, rentarako hune'na karagira orugahue.

Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.

3 Anumzamo'ma mani'nea kuma'ma nagrama ke'noresina, Agrama mani'nea kumapi menina vusine.

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

4 Anama hute'na kegagani'a Agri avure eri'na vute'na, nazama huno keagani'ma refko huno antahinogura kehara ome husine.

I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.

5 Anama hute'na keaganire'ma nonama huno keagama nasamisnia nanekea antahi ama' huresine.

I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.

6 Anumzamo'a Agra tusi'a hankave'areti hara renanteno, nazeri havizana hugahifi? I'o anara osu nagri nanekerera agesa ante'neno antahi so'e hisine.

Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.

7 Hagi nagrama fatgo vahe'ma mani'nenugeno refko huno nenageno, Agrama hazenkea omane'ne hanige'na mani vava hu'na vusine.

There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.

8 Zage hanati kaziga hake'na vuanagi onke'noe. Zage fre kaziga hake'na vuanagi Anumzamofona onke'noe.

See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;

9 Noti kaziga hake'na vu'noanagi, Anumzamo'a fraki'nege'na onke'noe. Sauti kaziga hake'na vu'noanagi navumo'a onketfa hu'ne.

I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.

10 Hianagi nagrama kama vanoma huana, nageno antahino hu'ne. Ana hu'neankino renaheno'ma kesanige'na, tevefima golima krazageno avusesema hiaza hugahue.

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

11 Na'ankure maka zupa nagra Anumzamofo kante nagia rente'na vano nehu'na, Agri avu'ava'za amage nente'na, ru kantera vugantigma nosue.

My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.

12 Anumzamofo kasegea namefira huomi'na amage ante'noe. Ana nehu'na ne'zama hiaza hu'na naneke'a erintogeno nagu'afi me'ne.

I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.

13 Hianagi Agrake Anumzana mani'neankino nazano hunaku'ma haniazana amne hanigeno, mago vahe'mo'a retro'ma hania antahintahi'a eri otregahie.

But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.

14 Ana hu'neankino nazano nagrite'ma tro hugahue huno antahintahima hu'nesniazana amne hugahie. Na'ankure nagri'ma hunantesiazana rama'a zantami retro hunte'neankino, Agrake keno antahino hu'ne.

For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.

15 Ana hu'neanki'na menina Agri avurera tusi nahirahi nerege'na, Agri hankavegu'ma nagesama nentahi'na tusi koro nehue.

For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.

16 Anumzamo'a maka hankaveni'a eri netreno, Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a Agra nazeri koro nagesa hu'ne.

For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.

17 Hanizamo eme nazeri kagige'na hanizampi havizantfa hu'na mani'noanagi, kea tagane'na omanigahue.

For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
