1 Jopu'a mago'ene keaga'a amanage huno hu'ne,
Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:
2 Ko'ma evia kafuramimpine ikampinema Anumzamo'ma knare huno kegavama hunantege'nama mani'na e'noaza hu'na, manisuegu antahintahia nehue.
Who will grant to me that I might be as I was in former months, according to the days when God kept watch over me?
3 Anumzamo agra nasenirera tavira remsa hunentege'na, mago zankura nagesa ontahi knare hu'na vu'noe.
At that time, his lamp shined over my head, and by his light, I walked through the darkness.
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.
I was then just as in the days of my youth, when God was privately in my tabernacle.
5 Hankavenentake Anumzamo'ma nagranema taragotenoma mani'nea knafina, mofavre naganimo'za nagri tava'onte mani'naze.
At that time, the Almighty was with me and my children surrounded 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.
Then, I washed my feet with butter, and a boulder poured out rivers of oil 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 to the gate of the city, or to the main street, they prepared a chair for me.
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 youths saw me and hid themselves, and the elders, rising up, remained standing.
9 Kva vahe'mo'zama keagama nehazaretira nagrama neoge'zama nenage'za, kea osu mani'ne'za zamazanteti zamagitera rehamunki'naze.
The leaders stopped talking, and they placed a finder over their mouth.
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 commanders subdued their voice, and their tongue adhered to their throat.
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.
The ear that heard me, blessed me, and the eye that saw me, gave testimony for me.
12 Na'ankure zamunte omane vahe'ene megusa mofavre naga'mo'zama, taza huo hu'za kema hazage'na, nagra zamaza hu'noe.
This was because I had freed the poor, who cried out, and the orphan, who had no helper.
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 would have been destroyed came upon me, and I consoled the heart of the widow.
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 justice, and I clothed myself with my judgment, like a robe and a diadem.
15 Zamavuma asuhu'nea vahera kana zamaveri nehu'na, zamagiama haviza hu'nea vahera zamaza huge'za kana vu'naze.
I was an eye for the blind and a foot for the lame.
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 the father of the poor; and if I lacked knowledge about any case, I investigated very diligently.
17 Anumzamofoma amage onte vahe'mo'zama vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hazage'na, ana vahera zamagemazampa ru tavegri'na, zamagipintira eri vari'noe.
I crushed the jaws of the impious, and I took away prey from his teeth.
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.
And I said, “I will die in my little nest, and like a palm tree, I will multiply my days.
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 has been spread beside the waters, and the dew will remain with my harvest.
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 always be restored, and my bow will be restored to my hand.”
21 Nagrama antahintahima vahe'mokizmima nezamuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za akohe'za mani'neza, nagri nanekea antahi'naze.
Those who heard me, expected vindication, and they listened closely in silence to my counsel.
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.
To my words, they dared to add nothing, and my eloquence poured over them.
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 waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for belated 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.
If I had ever laughed at them, they would not have believed it, and the light of my face was not cast down towards the ground.
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.
If I wished to go to them, I sat down first, and, though I sat like a king surrounded by an army, yet I was a comforter to those who mourned.
