Jovu 4

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

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

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 someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

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

Look, you have instructed many, you 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.

Your words have supported him who was falling, You 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 is come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.

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

Isn't your piety your confidence? Isn't the integrity of your ways your 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, now, whoever 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 to what 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. By the blast of his anger are they 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, 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. The cubs 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. 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 on me, and trembling, which made all my bones 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 couldn't discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then 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.

Look, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.

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.

Isn't their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
