Jovu 34
1 Hagi Elihu'a mago'ene amanage hu'ne,
Then Elihu continued:
2 Knare antahi'zama eri'nana ne'moka nagrama hanua nanekere kagesa antenka nentahinka, ama' antahi'zama eri'nana ne'moka nagrama hanua nanekea akohenka mani'nenka antahio.
“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
3 Hagi ne'zama tagite erinteta haga'ama neta konaza huno, maka nanekema tagesamo'ma antahia nanekea, tagesamo'a rezagane so'e huno nentahie.
For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
4 E'ina hu'negu inagemo fatgo huno knare hu'nefi tagra'a rezaganeta negeta, rempi huta antahisune.
Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
5 Hagi Jopu'ma kema hifina anage hu'ne, nagrira ke'ni'a omane'neanagi, Anumzamo'a kema hu kankamuni'a eri atrege'na mago zana osu'noe huno hu'ne.
For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
6 Nagrira mago hazenke'ni'a omanegeno keni'a omane'ne. Hianagi vahe'mo'za nagrikura havige ne' mani'ne hu'za nehaze. Nagrira kumini'a omane'neanagi natama namino nevia natazamo'a vagaoresnia avamente nevie.
Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7 Hagi magora Jopukna nera iza mani'ne. Agra kizazokago ke huno vahe'ma zamaveri hu kege nehia ne' mani'ne.
What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
8 Ana nehuno Jopu'a kumi'ma nehaza vahe'ene eri mago huno nemanino, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'ene kna ahefrino nemanie.
He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
9 Na'ankure Jopu'a huno, Anumzamofoma musema huntesnampintira mago zana e'origahane huno hu'ne.
For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
10 E'ina hu'negu ama' antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'mota nagri naneke antahiho. Maka vahe'mo'zama antahi'nazana Anumzamo'a havi avu'avara nosia ne' mani'ne hu'za antahi'naze. Ana hu'neankino Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a mago hazenkea osugahie.
Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
11 Vahe'mo'zama hu'naza avu'avate anteno rezaganeno negeno, mizana zamitere nehia Anumza mani'ne.
For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
12 Tamagerfa huno Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a mago hazenke zana osugahie. Ana hu'neankino Hanavenentake Anumzamo'a fatgo huno refkoa hugahie.
Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
13 Iza ama mopa tro huteno, kegava huo huno Anumzamofonkura hunte'ne?
Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
14 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Agra'a avamu'ene, asimu'anema ete eriresina,
If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,
15 maka asimu'ma enerino kasefa'ma huno nemania zagamo'a fri vaganeregeno, maka vahe'mo'za fri'za ete mopasazaresine.
all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
16 E'ina hu'negu Jopuga ama' antahi'zane vahe mani'noema hunka hanunka, nagrama nehua nanekere kagesa ante'nenka antahio.
If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
17 Kagrama antahinana fatgo avu'ava zanku'ma avesrama hiresina, Anumzamo'a ama mopa kegava hunora viresimpi? E'ina hu'negu Hankave nentake huno fatgoma hu'nea Anumzamo'ma refko'ma hania zantera, mago hazenke hu'ne hunka huamara huntegahampi?
Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,
18 Anumzamo'a kini vahekura huno, mago zana huga vahera omani'naze nehuno, zamagima me'nea vahekura huno havi avu'avaza nehaza vahe mani'naze huno nehie.
who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
19 Anumzamo maka vahera Agra'a tro huzmante'neankino, agi me'nea vahe'ene zago vahekukera nehuno, zamagi omne vahe'ene zamunte omne vahera zamage amne zanknara nosianki, Agri avurera mago avamenteke mani'naze.
who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.
20 Vahe'mo'za osi'a knafi ame hu'za nefrize. Kenage amu'nompi friza nevazageno, hankave vahera Anumzamo'a zamahe nefrie.
They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
21 Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'zama haza zana Anumzamo'a negeno, maka avu'ava zama hazana nege.
For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
22 Hanima nehia zamo'a Anumzamofo avua resoa osanigeno, maka kumira amate kegahie.
There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
23 E'ina hu'negu tagra kna huhampri'neta ana knarera esanunkeno, Anumzamo'a refkoa huorantegahie.
For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
24 Anumzamo'a mago hankave vahe'ma azeri havizama hunakura, vahera antahigeteno anara nosie. Ana'ma nehuno'a ana vahe nontera ruvahe azeri o'netie.
He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
25 Ana vahe'mo'za nehaza zamavu zmavara keno antahino hu'ne. Ana hu'neankino kenageke'za ana vahera zamahe fanane nehie.
Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
26 Hagi havi vahe'mo'zama zamavu'zmava zama hu'naza zamofo nona'a, amate zamazeri haviza nehige'za vahe'mo'za nezamagaze.
He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
27 Anama nehiana na'ankure Anumzamo'ma hihoma huno hiazana nosu'za, Agri kasegema amage'ma nontaza zanku anara nehie.
because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
28 Ana zamunte omne vahera zamazeri havizama hazage'zama Anumzamofontega zavi'ma nete'zama, zavi krafama nehazageno'a Anumzamo'a antahi'ne.
They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
29 Hianagi ana zante'ma Anumzamo'ma nona huno havi avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nosanigeno'a, iza huno Anumzamo'a havi avu'ava nehie? hunora hugahie. Hagi avugosama eri fra'ma nekisanigeno'a, mago vahe'mo'a keno eri forera osugahie. Hianagi Agrake mago'mago vahete'ene ama mopafima me'nea kumatamina kegava hu'ne.
But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
30 Hagi Anumzamoke kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama kva vahe'ma mani'ne'za vahe'ma zamavare'za havi kampima atresnage'za, kumi'ma hu'zanku huno anara nehie.
that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
31 Hagi izaga antahi'nankeno Jopu'a Anumzamofonkura huno, nagrama hu'noa kumi'mofo nona hunka nazeri haviza nehananki, mago'enena kumira osugahue hunora hu'ne?
Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
32 Nagrama hu'nesnua kumira eri ama hunka nasamio. Hagi nagrama havi navu'navama hu'nesnuana henka'anena anazana osugahue.
Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
33 Anumzamo'ma Jopugama hugantea zankura kave'nosie. Ana hu'negu kagri'ma kave'nesiaza Anumzamo'a hunantesie hunka kagesa ontahio. Hianagi nagri zana omane'neanki, kagripi antahintahia me'ne. Ana hu'negu menina knare antahi'zanka'a huama hugeta antahi'maneno.
Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
34 Hagi ama' antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'mo'zane, knare antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'mo'zama nagrama hua nanekema nentahi'za amanage hu'za nagrikura hazaresine.
Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
35 Jopu'a agafa'a omane'nea naneke nehantageno, antahintahia osu neginagi naneke nehie hu'za hazaresine.
‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
36 Jopugama kefo nanekema hu'nana zantera, Anumzamo'a tusi'a knaza kamigahie.
If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
37 Jopu'a kumi'ma hu'nea agofetu'ma, mago'ene kumi'ma hu'neana, azante rupro huno Anumzamofona kiza zokago ke hunenteno, tagri'enena keha'nereno, Anumzamofonkura huno fatgo hunora refkoa hunonante huno keharente'ne.
For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
