Jovu 36

1 Hagi Elihu'a mago'ene amanage huno hu'ne.

Elihu continued speaking.

2 Jopuga akohenka mani'nenka antahi'nege'na antahintahia kami'neno. Na'ankure nagra mago'ene keaga hu'na Anumzamofo nanekea eri hankaveti'za nehue.

“Be patient with me just a little while longer and let me explain. I still have something to say on God's behalf.

3 Nagrama rempi hu'na antahi'zama antahi'noa antahi'zanteti menima kasamisuana, nagri'ma tro'ma hu'nea Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'ava'za nehia ne' mani'ne hu'na kasamigahue.

I will share my extensive knowledge, and I will prove my Creator is in the right.

4 Nagrama negasamuana havigea nogasamuanki, tamage naneke negasamue. Na'ankure nagra hentofa antahi'zane neki'na, menina kagrane mani'noe.

I assure you that what I'm saying are not lies, for I am a man whose knowledge is of the highest order.

5 Anumzana hankavenentake Anumza mani'ne. Hianagi mago vahera kefenkamia note. Agra hihamufine, ama' antahi'zampina hankavenentake hu'ne.

God is mighty, but doesn't despise anyone; he is powerful in strength and understanding.

6 Havi avu'ava'zama nehaza vahera Anumzamo'a zamatrege'za kasefara hu'za nomanize. Hianagi knafima mani'naza vahera fatgo huno refko hunezmante.

He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives justice to the oppressed.

7 Ke'zamima omne vahetera avua anteteno nemanie. Hianagi zamatrege'za kini vahe'ene kini trate nemanizageno, maka zupa zamazeri antesga huvava nehie.

He always pays attention those who do right, and places them on thrones with kings, honoring them eternally.

8 Hianagi vahe'ma kina huzmantesage'za mani'nenageno tusi'a knazamo'ma zamazeri anakinige'zama mani'nesaza vahera,

If they are bound in chains, tied down by ropes of suffering,

9 na'a agafare anara hu'nefi Anumzamo'a eri zamaveri nehie. Ana nehuno zamavufaga erisga nehu'za kumi'ma hu'naza kumira eri zamaveri nehie.

then he explains to them what they've done—their arrogant sins.

10 Antahi'zazmia eri hagaro hige'za kefo avu'ava'ma hu'naza zana keama nehazageno, hanavenentake naneke hige'za kumi zamavu'zmava zana atre'za rukrahera nehaze.

He makes them pay attention and orders them to stop sinning.

11 Hanki zamagrama Anumzamofo nanekema nentahi'za, amage'ma antesnageno'a, nama'a kafuma kasefa'ma hu'za manisaza kna'afina Anumzamo'a asomu huzmantesigeno no mani'zazmimo'a knare hanige'za, muse hu'za manigahaze.

If they listen and do what God says they will live out their lives in happiness.

12 Hianagi zamagrama Agri kema ontahisnazana, ha' vahe'mo'za e'za bainati kazinteti eme zamahe frisnage'za, e'i anazana na'a agafare fore nehie keamara osu'za neginagi vahe frigahaze.

But if they do not listen they will die a violent death, ignorant of God.

13 Anumzamofoma zamefi'ma hunemiza vahe'mo'za, Anumzamo'ma zamuvro'ma antea zankura zamarimpa ahenentaze. Ana nehu'za Anumzamo'ma zamazama hanigura zavi krafa hu'za antahi'nogaze.

Those who reject God hold on to their bitterness. Even when he disciplines them they do not cry out to him for help.

14 Ana monko avu'avaza hume nevu'za, ozafa orene'za kasefa vahe nefrize.

They die in their youth; their lives end among the male temple prostitutes.

15 Hianagi Anumzamo'ma zamatrege'za knazampima unefrazana, na'ankure ana knazamo'ma hanige'za zmatafima mani'ne'za Agrite rukrahe hu'za esnageno zamagu vazino zamavaresnigu anara nehie.

Through suffering God saves those who suffer; he gets their attention through their troubles.

16 Jopuga amama mani'nana knazampintira Anumzamo'a kavre atreteno, knaza omane kumate kavrenteno knare'nare ne'za tratera retro hugante'ne.

God is trying to rescue you from the jaws of trouble to a place of freedom and safety, filling your table full of the very best food.

17 Hianagi kagra kefo avu'ava'za nehana ne' mani'nanankino Anumzamo'a refko huno negeno, fatgo huno kazeri havizana nehie.

But you are preoccupied with the fate of the wicked; judgment and justice fill your mind.

18 Hianagi mago vahe'mo'ma feno zanteti'ma regvatagama hu'zankura kva huo. Ana nehunka zamatrege'za zagoreti masavea hu'za kumipina kavre onteho.

But be careful that your anger doesn't seduce you into mockery; and don't let the size of the ‘bribe’ lead you into sin.

19 Kagrama antesnana fenozamo'ene, maka hankaveka'amo'a ama knazampintira kaza osutfa hugahie.

Will your cry for help sustain you when troubles come?

20 Ana hu'negu ame huno haninkisie hunka haninkura avega onto. Na'ankure knazamo'a kenagera ame huno eno, kumazamifintira vahera eme zamazeri haviza nehie.

Do not long for the night when people are suddenly taken away.

21 Kagra kegava hu'nenka havi kavukva zampintira atrenka rukrahe huo. Na'ankure havi kavukva zampinti atrenka rukrahe hunka esane huno Anumzamo'a knazana kagritera atregeno ne-e.

Watch out that you don't turn to evil! For it's because of this that you are being tested through suffering.

22 Antahiho! Anumzana hankavenentake hu'neankino, ina ne'mo Agrama rempima hunezamiankna nera mani'ne?

Look how much power God has! What teacher is like him?

23 Mago vahe'mo'a Anumzamofonkura, e'ina huo hunora osamige, Kagra mago zana eri haviza hu'nane hunora huontegahie.

Who has instructed him what to do? Who can say to him ‘You have done wrong’?

24 Hagi Agrama hankave eri'zama eri'nea zanku Agrira agi'a husga nehu'za, zagamera hu'za humuse huntegahaze. Ana hu'negu kagranena zagame hunka humuse hunto.

Instead you should praise him for what he has done, as people have done in song.

25 Maka vahe'mo'za Agrama tro hu'nea zana, ko ke'naze. Hianagi Anumzamo'ma so'e antahi'zanteti'ma eri'zama eri'nea zana afeteti ke'nazanki'za, keso'ea osu'naze.

Everyone has seen God's creation, though only from a distance.

26 Tamage, Anumzamo'a tagri antahi'zana agatereno rankrerfa hu'ne. Ana hu'neankita Agrira kafu'amo'a nama'a hu'nefi keta eri forera hugara osu'none.

See how great God is—more than we can understand! No one can count his years.

27 Agra higeno mopafinti timo'a amu huno marerino, hampo ome seteno tina fore huno kora nerie.

He draws up the water and distils it into the dew and the rain.

28 Ana ko'mo'ma hampompinti'ma eramiana knare huno maka vahete runente.

The clouds pour down rain, falling plentifully on humankind.

29 Anami monafima hampoma eritama rente'nea zana, iza keno antahinora nehanigeno, Anumzamo'ma nemanifinti'ma monagema nehia zana, inankna huta keta antahitara hugahune?

Can anyone understand how the clouds spread out, or how thunder roars from where he lives?

30 Anumzamo'a higeno Agrama mani'nea tavaontera kopsi'namo'a marave huno azeri kanegigeno, masa'amo'ma amefenkame'ma hagerimofo ro'are'ma uneramia zana ko.

See how he scatters lightning around him, and covers the depths of the sea in darkness.

31 E'inahu hankave'areti Anumzamo'a maka vahera kegava hunezmanteno, ne'zana rama'a zamige'za atupara nosaze.

By these actions he rules the people, he provides abundant food.

32 Agra kevema hiaza huno kopasi'na azampi eri'neno, inantego ahetresuema huno hirega ahenetre.

He holds lightning in his hands and commands where it should strike.

33 Hagi Anumzamo'ma higeno monagema hiazamo'a, ununko atugahie huno hunerasamigeno, bulimakao afutamimo'za zamagranena anazanke hu'za nentahize.

Thunder declares his presence—even cattle know when a storm is coming.
