Jovu 31

1 Hanki nagrama navuma kezani'afima mago huvempa kema hu'noana, mago mofa'ma negesuna havi antahintahia e'orisnue hu'na huvempa hu'noe.

I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?

2 E'inahu havi avu'ava'zama hanugeno'a, manisgama hu'nea Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a ana havi avu'ava zanirera havi mizana namigahie.

For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?

3 Havizama hu'za refkoma hu so'ema nosaza vahera Anumzamo'a knaza nezamino, kumi'ma haza vahetera hazenkeza atregeno ne-e.

Is it not trouble for the sinner, and destruction for the evil-doers?

4 Ana nehuno maka zama hua zampina Anumzamo'a avua anteno nenageno, nagama rerakaure'na vuana nenage.

Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?

5 Nagra mago vahera havigea hu'na revataga nosu'na, havige zantera nagia re'na ovu'noe.

If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;

6 Atrenkeno Anumzamo'a navu'navazania erinteno, fatgoma huno refko'ma nehia sigerire negeno refko huno nageno. Na'ankure nagrama fatgo navu'nava zama nehuana Agrake keno antahino hu'ne.

(Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness: )

7 Hagi Anumzamofo kama atre'na hazama negre'na, navumo kea zante'ma havi antahintahima hu'na kumi'ma hu'nesnua kumiro, mago'a kumi'enema hu'nesnuana,

If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands;

8 atrenkeno nagrama hankre'nesnua ne'zana, ru vahe'mo'za vasage'za neho. Hagi nagrama hankre'nesnua avimzana eri tasagi hutreho.

Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.

9 Hagi mago a'ma nege'na havi antahintahima eri'nesnuano, tvaonire'ma nemanisnia ne'mofo a'ma nege'na kenunuma hu'nesanuana,

If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;

10 atrenkeno nagri a'mo'a ru vemofo a' nemanina, ru venenemo'za a'ni'a ante'za maseho.

Then let my wife give pleasure to another man and let others make use of her body.

11 Hagi nagra mago vemofo a'enema hazenkema hu'nesanuana, nagra'a tusi nagaze eri nami'noanki'na, ana kumi'ma hu'nesua zantera mizama'a nagra'a erigahue.

For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:

12 E'i ana kumi'mo'a, mago tevegna hu'neankino, tevava huno nevuno, teve kumapi vugahie. Ana hu'neankino ana maka'zama ante'noa zana, tevemo te fanene hugahie.

It would be a fire burning even to destruction, and taking away all my produce.

13 Hagi ko'ma nagri eri'za venenemozane a'nemo'zanema, knazamima eri'za neazage'nama, knazazamima e'orinesnuana,

If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;

14 inankna hu'na Anumzamofo avurera nagra keagafina otigahue? Inankna hunka eri'za vaheka'a kegava hu'nane huno Anumzamo'ma nagenokama hanige'na, na'ane hu'na kenona huntegahue?

What then will I do when God comes as my judge? and what answer may I give to his questions?

15 Na'ankure Anumzamo'a Agrake nagri'ene eri'za vahe'ni'anena, antatimofo arimpafina tro hurante'ne.

Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?

16 Hagi zamunte omane vahe'mo'zama mago'a zanku'ma kema nehazage'na, i'ora osu'na amne nezami'na, kento a'nanemo'zama zamazama hanuegu'ma nagrite'ma zamavuma nentazage'na amne zamaza nehu'na,

If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose;

17 nagragukera ontahi'noanki megusa mofavreramina, ne'zana refko hu'na zami'noe.

If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;

18 Nagra osi'ma mani'noregati'ma eno meninte'ma e'neana, megusa mofavre nagara nafa zamigna hu'na kegava hunezmante'na, kento a'nane nagara zamaza hu'na e'noe.

(For I was cared for by God as by a father from my earliest days; he was my guide from the body of my mother; )

19 Hagi nonkumazmima omne vahe'ma kukenagu'ma atupa'ma nehazage'na, kukena nezami'na, mago'a zanku'ma atupa'ma nehaza vahera kukenane nakreku'enena zami'noe.

If I saw one near to death for need of clothing, and that the poor had nothing covering him;

20 Ana nehu'na zamazeri amuhoma hanigu sipisipi azokateti'ma trohu'naza nakre kura zamuge'za antani'za amuhogu'ma nehu'za musema nehu'za, nagrira husga hunante'naze.

If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;

21 Hagi keaga refkohu ne'mo'a, nagri kaziga antegahie nehu'na, nagra keagafina oti'na megusa mofavre naga'ma keagama huzmantesnuana,

If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;

22 nazamo'a nazo'nafinti rutasagi huramigahie.

May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.

23 Na'ankure nagrama koro'ma nehuana, Anumzamo'a knazana atreni'geno eme nazeri haviza hugahie hu'na nentahue. Hagi Anumzamo'ma hankaveareti'ma nazeri havizama nehaniana, nagrira amuhazani'a omane'ne.

For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

24 Hagi nagra zagofina amuha zani'a nonte'na, golimo'a naza hugahie hu'na namentintia nosue.

If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;

25 Nagra'a nazapinti'ma erifore hu'na ante'noa zago fenokura navufga erisga nosu'na,

If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;

26 monare'ma me'neno nerea zagere'ene ikamo'ma knare zantfama huno remsama nehige'na monora huonte'na,

If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,

27 e'i ana zantera mago narimpa hu'na monora hunonte'na, nzantetira zanahe'na antakora osu'noe.

A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;

28 Hanki nagrama anama hu'nesanuana kumi hu'noankino, kema refko'ma hunantesnia nemo'a knaza namigahie. Na'ankure onagamu monafinkama nemania Anumzamofontera havige hu'na eri fraki'nogu anara hugahie.

That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.

29 Hagi ha' vahe'nimo'zama knazampima mani'nazage'na nezamage'na, nagra musena nehu'na zamagizana ore'noe.

If I was glad at the trouble of my hater, and gave cries of joy when evil overtook him;

30 Ana nehu'na magore hu'na zamazeri haviza hu nanekea hu'na kumira nosu'na, havizama hunante'nazarera nona osu'noe.

(For I did not let my mouth give way to sin, in putting a curse on his life; )

31 Hagi nagri nompima nemaniza eri'za vahe'nimo'za hu'za, maka eri'za vahe'a ne'zana nezamino magore huno zamatrege'za amnea novaza ne' mani'ne hu'za nagrikura nehaze.

If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?

32 Nagra ozamageno'a vahe'ma nonire'ma azage'na magore hu'na zamatroge'za megira omase'nazanki, kahana anagi hagaro nehu'na, zamavare nompi antoge'za maka zupa mase'naze.

The traveller did not take his night's rest in the street, and my doors were open to anyone on a journey;

33 Mago'a vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'na kumi'ni'a nagu'afina eri frakinaku hu'noanagi, anara osu'noe.

If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,

34 Hagi rama'a vahe'mo'zama nenage'za, kiza zokago kema hunenantesage'za, naga'nimo'zama eme nasami'zankura korera hu'na nompina omani'noe.

For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;

35 Hagi nagra nagesama antahuana, nagrama nehuankema mago vahe'mo'ma agesama anteno antahiresina knare hisine. Nagra nazanko avona ama antoanki atre'nenkeno Hankavenentake Anumzamo negeno kenona hunanteno. Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma nagri'ma keagama hunantenaku'ma hanuno'a avompi krenteno.

If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

36 Anama hanige'na muse nehu'na ana avona nazo'nare erigofi'na vano nehu'na, kini fetori'ma hiaza hu'na nasenire antanigahue.

Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;

37 Ana nehu'na kini vahe'mofo mofavremo'ma hiaza hu'na, Anumzamofo avuga uoti'na nagra'ama maka navu'nava zama hu'nesanuana ome eri ama hu'na asamigahue.

I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.

38 Hagi mopa'nimo'ma haviza hu'nane huno'ma keagama hunantenigeno, hoza tinkamo'a tusi zavi'netenigeno,

If my land has made an outcry against me, or the ploughed earth has been in sorrow;

39 mago vahe'mofo hozafinti ne'za musufa sege, ana hozamofo nefa ahe frige'ma hu'nesanuana,

If I have taken its produce without payment, causing the death of its owners;

40 anama eri nafa'ama hu'nesanua mopafina witimo'a ohesianki ave've trazamoke hageno marenerisanigeno, amne tra'zamo balimofo nona erino hageno marerigahie. Ama ana nanekema huvagareteno'a, Jopua kea osu'ne.

Then in place of grain let thorns come up, and in place of barley evil-smelling plants.
