Jovu 23

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

Then Job answered, and said:

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

Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.

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

Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?

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

I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.

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

That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand 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.

I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.

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

Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.

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

But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand 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.

If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not 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.

But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:

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 foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.

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 not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.

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

For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.

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.

And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.

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

And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.

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

God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.

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

For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
