Jovu 4

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

Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, 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 we essay to address a word to thee, wilt thou be wearied? yet who is able to refrain from speaking?

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

Behold, thou hast [ere this] corrected many, and weak hands thou wast wont to strengthen.

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

Him that stumbled thy words used to uphold, and to sinking knees thou gavest vigor.

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

Yet now, when it cometh to thee, thou art wearied: it toucheth even thee, and thou art terrified.

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

Is not then thy fear of God still thy confidence, thy hope equal to the integrity of thy ways?

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 righteous 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.

Even as I have seen, that those who plough wrong-doing, and sow trouble, have to 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.

Before the breathing of God they perish, and before the breath of his nostrils they come to their end.

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 perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness have to scatter themselves abroad.

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

But to me a word came by stealth, and my ear took in a scarcely perceptible whisper thereof.

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

In intense thoughts out of visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men:

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

Dread came over me, with trembling, and it caused all my bones to shudder.

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

Then flitted a spirit past before my face; the hair of my body 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 recognize its form; a figure was before my eyes, a slight whisper, then a [louder] voice I heard, saying,

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

Can a mortal be more righteous than God? or can 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, in his servants he putteth no trust, and his angels he chargeth with folly:

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

How much less in those that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed till they come to be eaten by the moth?

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

From morning to evening are they broken to pieces: without laying it [to heart] they perish for ever.

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

Behold, their excellency which is in them is torn away: they die, and this without wisdom.
