Jovu 29

1 Jopu'a mago'ene keaga'a amanage huno hu'ne,

And Job again took up the word and said,

2 Ko'ma evia kafuramimpine ikampinema Anumzamo'ma knare huno kegavama hunantege'nama mani'na e'noaza hu'na, manisuegu antahintahia nehue.

If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!

3 Anumzamo agra nasenirera tavira remsa hunentege'na, mago zankura nagesa ontahi knare hu'na vu'noe.

When his light was shining over my head, and when I went through the dark by his light.

4 Hagi ko'ma maka zamo'ma knare'ma higenama mani'noa knafina, nagrite'ene naga'ni'arera Anumzamo'a taragoteno knare aroneni'a mani'nege'na ke'noe.

As I was in my flowering years, when my tent was covered by the hand of God;

5 Hankavenentake Anumzamo'ma nagranema taragotenoma mani'nea knafina, mofavre naganimo'za nagri tava'onte mani'naze.

While the Ruler of all was still with me, and my children were round me;

6 Ana nehazage'na bulimakao afu zaga'nifintira ami rina rama'a nerati'na, olivi hozanifintira rama'a olivi raga tagite'na, masavena reratina rama'a erugeno viteno tima eviaza hu'ne.

When my steps were washed with milk, and rivers of oil were flowing out of the rock for me.

7 Hagi korapara nagra ugota kva vahe mani'ne'na, rankumamofo kafante'ma keagama refkohu knazupa, zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'zama trate'ma unemanizage'na nagranena tra'nire umani'noe.

When I went out of my door to go up to the town, and took my seat in the public place,

8 Kasefa vahe'ma nagrama neoge'zama nenage'za, mani kantugma nehu'za kankamuna nami'naze. Ana nehazage'za ozafanafa naga'mo'za, antahinenami'za oti'ne'za nenagazage'na vu'noe.

The young men saw me, and went away, and the old men got up from their seats;

9 Kva vahe'mo'zama keagama nehazaretira nagrama neoge'zama nenage'za, kea osu mani'ne'za zamazanteti zamagitera rehamunki'naze.

The rulers kept quiet, and put their hands on their mouths;

10 Ran kumate'ma ugagota hu'za kegavama hu'naza kva vahera, zamagefunamo'a marerino zmavagunafare akamrege'za kea osu zamagira hamunki'za mani'naze.

The chiefs kept back their words, and their tongues were joined to the roofs of their mouths.

11 Hagi nagrama keagama nehuge'zama antahi'za vahe'mo'za hu muse hunenantage'za, keagama nehuge'za nagaza vahe'mo'zanena knare keaga hunami'naze.

For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;

12 Na'ankure zamunte omane vahe'ene megusa mofavre naga'mo'zama, taza huo hu'za kema hazage'na, nagra zamaza hu'noe.

For I was a saviour to the poor when he was crying for help, to the child with no father, and to him who had no supporter.

13 Amuha zazamima omanea vahera zamaza nehuge'za, nagrira husga hunante'naze. Ana nehu'na kento a'nanea zamaza nehuge'za tusi muse hu'naze.

The blessing of him who was near to destruction came on me, and I put a song of joy into the widow's heart.

14 Maka zama hu'noana fatgo kazigatike hu'noe. Ana nehugeno fatgo navu'nava zamo'a za'za kukenama antaninogeno'ma hiaza huno rufitenante'ne. Hagi fatgoma huno refkohu avu'ava'zamo'a, pristi vahe'mo'zama nentani'za kankrikna huno nasenirera me'ne.

I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.

15 Zamavuma asuhu'nea vahera kana zamaveri nehu'na, zamagiama haviza hu'nea vahera zamaza huge'za kana vu'naze.

I was eyes to the blind, and feet to him who had no power of walking.

16 Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmia nafa zamigna nehu'na, ke'na antahi'nama osu'noa vahe'ma keagafima otizage'na, zamaza hu'na keaga eri ante fatgo hu'noe.

I was a father to the poor, searching out the cause of him who was strange to me.

17 Anumzamofoma amage onte vahe'mo'zama vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hazage'na, ana vahera zamagemazampa ru tavegri'na, zamagipintira eri vari'noe.

By me the great teeth of the evil-doer were broken, and I made him give up what he had violently taken away.

18 Nagrama antahuana, tamagerfa hu'na ama mopafina zazate musenkasea hu'na mani'na vute'na ome ozafa re'na frigahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.

Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;

19 Hagi zafamofo rafu'namo ofenkame uramino mopa agu'afinti ti anivazu higeno ani'namo tretre hiaza nehigeno atako'mo aninare runteankna hige'na nagra korapara mani'noane.

My root will be open to the waters, and the night mist will be on my branches,

20 Nagri'ma ko'ma knare nagima nami'naza zamo'a nagripina amne kasefa huno me'ne. Ana nehige'na maka zupa kasefa hankavea erivava hu'na nevue.

My glory will be ever new, and my bow will be readily bent in my hand.

21 Nagrama antahintahima vahe'mokizmima nezamuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za akohe'za mani'neza, nagri nanekea antahi'naze.

Men gave ear to me, waiting and keeping quiet for my suggestions.

22 Hagi nagrama keagama huvagama retogeno'a, mago'mo'e huno nagri kerera antemino keaga osu'ne. Na'ankure nagrama hua nanekea antahiso'e hu'nagu anara hu'naze.

After I had said what was in my mind, they were quiet and let my words go deep into their hearts;

23 Vahe'mo'za komaranigu'ma avegama ante'nazageno koma rige'zama musema nehazankna hu'za, nagri nanekema antahi'zankura tusiza huno zamavesi'ne. Ana hige'za za'za knama ko'ma oru'nereti'ma ko'ma rigeno'ma maka zamofo ani'namo'ma muse nehuno ani'na eri mareankna hu'za nagri nanekea muse hu'za eri'naze.

They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.

24 Hagi vahe'mo'zama antahintahi hakarema nehu'za mani'nazage'na, kiza renezami'na knare navugosa huzami'noe. E'inama hua kazigati zamarimpa zamazeri hankaveti'noe.

I was laughing at them when they had no hope, and the light of my face was never clouded by their fear.

25 Nagra kva vahezmi mani'ne'na, e'ina hiho, amana hiho hu'na vahera zamazeri ante fatgo nehu'na, mago kini ne'mo sondia vahe'amofo amu'nompi nemaniaza nehu'na, zavi'ma ataza vahera zamazeri tagane vahekna hu'noe.

I took my place as a chief, guiding them on their way, and I was as a king among his army. ...
