Jovu 34

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

And Elihu commenced, 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, O ye wise men, my words; and ye that have knowledge, give ear unto me.

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 proveth words, as the palate tasteth the 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 just: let us acknowledge between 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 justice from me.

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.

Should I lie concerning the justice due me? incurable is [my wound from] the arrow I bear in me without any 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 there like Job, who drinketh 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.

And is on the road to keep company with the wrong-doers, and to walk with men of wickedness?

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 when he acteth according to the pleasure of 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 ye men of sense hearken unto me: far is it from God to practise wickedness; and from the Almighty to do wrong!

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

For the work of a son of earth doth he recompense unto him, and according to the path of man doth he permit things to occur to him.

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

Yea, surely God will not condemn unjustly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

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

Who hath given him a charge concerning the earth? or who hath intrusted [him] the whole world?

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

If he were to set his heart upon man, he would 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 would perish together, and the son of earth would return again unto dust.

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

If then thou wishest to understand, hear this: give ear to the sound 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?

Is it possible that he who hateth justice should govern? or wilt thou condemn the righteous 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.

[Is it fit] to say to a king, Thou art worthless? and to princes, 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.

Whereas he is one that showeth no favor to chieftains, and distinguisheth not the rich before the indigent; for all of them 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 will they die, and in the midst of the night; people are moved, and pass away: and the mighty will be removed without a human hand.

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

For big eyes are upon the ways of man, and all his steps doth he see.

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

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the evil-doers can hide themselves.

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

For he need not direct [his attention] a long time upon man, that he should enter into judgment before God.

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 down mighty men without [long] searching, and placeth 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.

For the reason that he knoweth their deeds: therefore he overturneth 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.

Among wicked men doth he strike them, in the place where [many] see them:

27 Anama nehiana na'ankure Anumzamo'ma hihoma huno hiazana nosu'za, Agri kasegema amage'ma nontaza zanku anara nehie.

Because they have departed from following him, and have not considered all his ways.

28 Ana zamunte omne vahera zamazeri havizama hazage'zama Anumzamofontega zavi'ma nete'zama, zavi krafama nehazageno'a Anumzamo'a antahi'ne.

Bringing before them the cry of the indigent, and the cry of the afflicted which he had to hear.

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 now granteth rest, who will condemn [him]! and when he hideth his face, who can behold him? whether it be against a nation, or against one man, it is the same:

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 no hypocritical man may reign, that such shall not be a mare to 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 truly it is only fitting to say unto God, “I bear [cheerfully], I will not do any wrong;

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

What I cannot see myself, do thou truly teach me; if I have done what is unjust, I will do so 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.

Should he then according to thy view send a recompense, because thou hast rejected him? “Because thou must choose, and not I?” and what thou knowest, do speak.

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 sense will say unto me, and every wise man who heareth me,

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

That Job hath not spoken with knowledge, and that his words are without intelligence.

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

Oh that Job may therefore be probed continually, in order to give answers against sinful 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 unto his sin transgression: among us he uttereth too many loud words, and multiplieth his speeches against God.
