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.
Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 Anumzamo'ma mani'nea kuma'ma nagrama ke'noresina, Agrama mani'nea kumapi menina vusine.
Oh that I knew where I might find him! 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 order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 Anama hute'na keaganire'ma nonama huno keagama nasamisnia nanekea antahi ama' huresine.
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto 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.
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
7 Hagi nagrama fatgo vahe'ma mani'nenugeno refko huno nenageno, Agrama hazenkea omane'ne hanige'na mani vava hu'na vusine.
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 Zage hanati kaziga hake'na vuanagi onke'noe. Zage fre kaziga hake'na vuanagi Anumzamofona onke'noe.
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive 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.
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot 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 the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as 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 foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Anumzamofo kasegea namefira huomi'na amage ante'noe. Ana nehu'na ne'zama hiaza hu'na naneke'a erintogeno nagu'afi me'ne.
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 Hianagi Agrake Anumzana mani'neankino nazano hunaku'ma haniazana amne hanigeno, mago vahe'mo'a retro'ma hania antahintahi'a eri otregahie.
But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
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 he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
15 Ana hu'neanki'na menina Agri avurera tusi nahirahi nerege'na, Agri hankavegu'ma nagesama nentahi'na tusi koro nehue.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 Anumzamo'a maka hankaveni'a eri netreno, Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a Agra nazeri koro nagesa hu'ne.
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17 Hanizamo eme nazeri kagige'na hanizampi havizantfa hu'na mani'noanagi, kea tagane'na omanigahue.
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
