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 reached an agreement with my eyes, that I would not so much as think about 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 portion should God from above hold for me, and what inheritance should the Almighty from on high keep?

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

Is not destruction held for the wicked and repudiation kept for those who work injustice?

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

Does he not examine my ways and number all my steps?

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

If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot has hurried towards deceitfulness,

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 him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.

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 turned aside from the way, or if my heart has followed my eyes, or if a blemish has clung to my hands,

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

then may I sow, and let another consume, and let my offspring be eradicated.

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 has been deceived over a woman, or if I have waited in ambush at my friend’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 be the harlot of another, and let other men lean over her.

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 this is a crime and a very great injustice.

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 is a fire devouring all the way to perdition, and it roots out all that springs forth.

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

If I have despised being subject to judgment with my servant or my maid, when they had any complaint against 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?

then what will I do when God rises to judge, and, when he inquires, how will I respond to him?

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

Is not he who created me in the womb, also he who labored to make him? And did not one and the same form me in the womb?

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 have denied the poor what they wanted and have made the eyes of the widow wait;

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

if I have eaten my morsel of food alone, while orphans have not eaten from it;

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 from my infancy mercy grew with me, and it came out with me from my mother’s womb; )

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 have looked down on him who was perishing because he had no clothing and the poor without any covering,

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 sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

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

if I have lifted up my hand over an orphan, even when it might seem to me that I have the advantage over him at the gate;

22 nazamo'a nazo'nafinti rutasagi huramigahie.

then may my shoulder fall from its joint, and may my arm, with all its bones, be broken.

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 I have always feared God, like waves flowing over me, whose weight I was unable to bear.

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

If I have considered gold to be my strength, or if I have called purified gold ‘my Trust;’

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

if I have rejoiced over my great success, and over the many things my hand has obtained;

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

if I gazed upon the sun when it shined and the moon advancing brightly,

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

so that my heart rejoiced in secret and I kissed my hand with 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.

which is a very great iniquity and a denial against the most high God;

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

if I have been glad at the ruin of him who hated me and have exulted that evil found 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 have not been given my throat to sin by asking for a curse on his soul;

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 around my tabernacle have not said: “He might give us some of his food, so that we will be filled,”

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.

for the foreigner did not remain at the door, my door was open to the traveler;

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

if, as man does, I have hidden my sin and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom;

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.

if I became frightened by an excessive crowd, and the disrespect of close relatives alarmed me, so that I would much rather have remained silent or have gone out the 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.

then, would he grant me a hearing, so that the Almighty would listen to my desire, and he who judges would himself write a book,

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

which I would then carry on my shoulder and wrap around me like 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.

With each of my steps, I would pronounce and offer it, as if to a prince.

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

So, if my land cries out against me, and if its furrows weep with it,

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

if I have used its fruits for nothing but money and have afflicted the souls of its tillers,

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, may thistles spring forth for me instead of grain, and thorns instead of barley. (This ended the words of Job.)
