Jovu 4

1 Hagi anante Temani mopafinti ne' Elifasi'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne,

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,

2 Mago vahe'mo'ma kagri'enema nanekema hu'zama nehanigenka akohenka mani'nenka ontahigahano? Hagi nagra nagitera aze'ori'na hunaku'ma hanua nanekea amne kasmigahue.

If a man tries to converse with thee, will thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

3 Rama'a vahe antahintahia nezminka, hankavezmi omne vahera zamazeri hankaveti'nane.

Behold, thou have instructed many, and thou have strengthened the weak hands.

4 Tanafa'ma hu'za mase'zama nehaza vahetmina, nanekeka'amo'a zamazeri hankavenetino, zaferina omne amnema hia vahera hankavea nezamie.

Thy words have upheld him who was falling, and thou have made firm the feeble knees.

5 Hianagi menima knazampi nemaninkeno'a krimpamo'a haviza nehie. Hazenke zamo'ma kavate'ma egenka kagogogu nehane.

But now it comes to thee, and thou faint. It touches thee, and thou are troubled.

6 Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunentenka fatgo hunka nemaninazanku kamentintia nehunka, Anumzamo naza hugahie nehano?

Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, the integrity of thy ways thy hope?

7 Kagesa antahigo, hazenke'a omne vahe'mo'a amnea frigahifi? Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia vahera inantega ahe fri'negenka ke'nane?

Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?

8 Hagi nagrama ke'na antahi'nama hu'noana, hozama eri'za avimzama hankre'za hamarazankna hu'za kefo avu'avazama nehaza vahe'mo'za hazenke'za nehamaraze.

According as I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.

9 Anumzamofo rimpa ahezamo'a, zaho'mo'ma maka'zama eri haviza hiaza huno, Agra asimu'ma antea zantetira zamahe fanane nehie.

By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

10 Zamagra ha' laionimo'ma ha' hunaku nehiaza hu'za krafa nehu'za, rekazigazi hugahazanagi, hanave laionimofona aheno avera rutafrigahie.

The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

11 Hagi ana ha' laionimo'za ahe'zama nenaza zaga omanisige'za zamagaku nehu'za mofavrezmia atresage'za panini hu'za hazagre'za vu'za e'za hugahaze.

The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.

12 Hagi tamage nanekea oku'a sumi sumi hu'za eme nasmizage'na antahi'noe.

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.

13 Vahe'mo'za mase himrenageno, kenage ava'nafi ana nanekea eme nasmizage'na anhintahi hakare nehugeno,

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

14 tusi nagogo nefegeno, zaferinani'a omne amne nehige'na, tusi nahirahiku hu'noe.

fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

15 Mago zaho erino navufi evigeno, navufga nazokamo'a harahara huno oti vagare'ne.

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

16 Hagi ana zaho'ma erino'ma evigenama koana, mago zamofo amema'a fore huno oti'neanagi, avufga'a onke'noe. Anama nehigeno agasasama omanenefintira mago agerumo'a anage hu'ne.

It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance of it. A form was before my eyes. There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

17 Anumzamofo avurera mago vahe'mo'a fatgo osu'ne. Tro'ma hurante'nea Anumzamofo avurera magora agru vahera omanifta hu'ne.

Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his maker?

18 Anumzamo'a eri'za vahe'anena antahi nozmino ankero vahe'amofo havi zamavu'zmava zana refko huno nezamage.

Behold, he puts no trust in his servants, and he charges his agents with folly.

19 Hagi vahera Anumzamo'a mopareti eri kripeno tro hunteneankino (moth) afovage brebrema rehapatiaza hugahie.

How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

20 Hagi trazamo'za nantera fore hute'za, kinaga sege'za frizankna hu'za ana fri fanane hazage'za antahi nozamize.

Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.

21 Seli nozmimofo nofira katufe atrazageno pasru hiankna hu'za knare antahintahi omne vahe nefrize.

Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.
