Jovu 4

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

Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite 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.

Hast you been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of your words?

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

For whereas you have instructed many, and have strengthened the hands of the weak one,

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

and have supported the failing with words, and have imparted courage to feeble knees.

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

Yet now [that] pain has come upon you, and touched you, you are troubled.

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

Is not your fear [founded] in folly, your hope also, and the mischief of your way?

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 then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?

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.

Accordingly as I have seen men plowing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.

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

They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath.

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

The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.

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 has perished for lack of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another.

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

But if there had been any truth in your words, none of these evils would have befallen you. Shall not mine ear receive excellent [revelations] from him?

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

But [as when] terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night,

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

horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake.

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

And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered.

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.

I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there, was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and 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.

What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works?

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

Whereas he trust not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels.

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

But [as for] them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth.

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

And from the morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they can’t help themselves.

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

For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.
