Jovu 34

1 Hagi Elihu'a mago'ene amanage hu'ne,

Moreover Elihu answered and said:

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, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

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 trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.

4 E'ina hu'negu inagemo fatgo huno knare hu'nefi tagra'a rezaganeta negeta, rempi huta antahisune.

Let us choose for us that which is right; let us know among ourselves 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 hath said: 'I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right;

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.

Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; 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 drinketh up scorning 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.

Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

9 Na'ankure Jopu'a huno, Anumzamofoma musema huntesnampintira mago zana e'origahane huno hu'ne.

For he hath said: 'It profiteth a man nothing that he should be in accord with 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 hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that He should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity.

11 Vahe'mo'zama hu'naza avu'avate anteno rezaganeno negeno, mizana zamitere nehia Anumza mani'ne.

For the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

12 Tamagerfa huno Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a mago hazenke zana osugahie. Ana hu'neankino Hanavenentake Anumzamo'a fatgo huno refkoa hugahie.

Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

13 Iza ama mopa tro huteno, kegava huo huno Anumzamofonkura hunte'ne?

Who gave Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?

14 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Agra'a avamu'ene, asimu'anema ete eriresina,

If He set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;

15 maka asimu'ma enerino kasefa'ma huno nemania zagamo'a fri vaganeregeno, maka vahe'mo'za fri'za ete mopasazaresine.

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.

16 E'ina hu'negu Jopuga ama' antahi'zane vahe mani'noema hunka hanunka, nagrama nehua nanekere kagesa ante'nenka antahio.

If now thou hast understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of 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?

Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty —

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.

Is it fit to say to a king: 'Thou art base'? Or to nobles: 'Ye 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.

That respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they all are 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.

In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.

21 Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'zama haza zana Anumzamo'a negeno, maka avu'ava zama hazana nege.

For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He seeth all his goings.

22 Hanima nehia zamo'a Anumzamofo avua resoa osanigeno, maka kumira amate kegahie.

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 E'ina hu'negu tagra kna huhampri'neta ana knarera esanunkeno, Anumzamo'a refkoa huorantegahie.

For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, when he should go before God in 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 breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, and setteth others in their stead.

25 Ana vahe'mo'za nehaza zamavu zmavara keno antahino hu'ne. Ana hu'neankino kenageke'za ana vahera zamahe fanane nehie.

Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; and He overturneth them in the night, so that 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 striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

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 following Him, and would not have regard to 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.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, and He heareth the cry 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.

When He giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike;

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 the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare 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?

For hath any said unto God: 'I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;

32 Nagrama hu'nesnua kumira eri ama hunka nasamio. Hagi nagrama havi navu'navama hu'nesnuana henka'anena anazana osugahue.

That which I see not teach Thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?

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.

Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, so that thou must choose, and not I; therefore speak what thou knowest.

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 say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:

35 Jopu'a agafa'a omane'nea naneke nehantageno, antahintahia osu neginagi naneke nehie hu'za hazaresine.

'Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without discernment.'

36 Jopugama kefo nanekema hu'nana zantera, Anumzamo'a tusi'a knaza kamigahie.

Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

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 addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
