Jovu 4
1 Hagi anante Temani mopafinti ne' Elifasi'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne,
Then Eliphaz, from Teman, replied to Job. He 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.
“Will you please let me say something to you? I am not [RHQ] able to remain silent [any longer].
3 Rama'a vahe antahintahia nezminka, hankavezmi omne vahera zamazeri hankaveti'nane.
In the past, you have instructed/taught many people, and you have encouraged those who were weak.
4 Tanafa'ma hu'za mase'zama nehaza vahetmina, nanekeka'amo'a zamazeri hankavenetino, zaferina omne amnema hia vahera hankavea nezamie.
By what you said, you have helped those who (needed spiritual help/almost quit trusting in God) [MET], and you have enabled them to become spiritually strong again [MET].
5 Hianagi menima knazampi nemaninkeno'a krimpamo'a haviza nehie. Hazenke zamo'ma kavate'ma egenka kagogogu nehane.
But now, when you experience disasters, you become discouraged. The disasters hit you, and you are stunned.
6 Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunentenka fatgo hunka nemaninazanku kamentintia nehunka, Anumzamo naza hugahie nehano?
You revere God; (does that not cause you to trust [in him]?/that should cause you to trust [in him].) [RHQ] If you were guiltless, you would [RHQ] be confident that [God] would not [have allowed] these disasters [to] happen to you!
7 Kagesa antahigo, hazenke'a omne vahe'mo'a amnea frigahifi? Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia vahera inantega ahe fri'negenka ke'nane?
Think about this: Do innocent people die [while they are still young] [RHQ]? Does God get rid of godly people [RHQ]? [No!]
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.
What I have experienced is this: [Just as] [MET] farmers who plant bad [seeds] do not harvest good [crops], [just as those who start] trouble for others, later bring trouble on themselves.
9 Anumzamofo rimpa ahezamo'a, zaho'mo'ma maka'zama eri haviza hiaza huno, Agra asimu'ma antea zantetira zamahe fanane nehie.
They die when God angrily blows his breath on them, when he is very angry with them.
10 Zamagra ha' laionimo'ma ha' hunaku nehiaza hu'za krafa nehu'za, rekazigazi hugahazanagi, hanave laionimofona aheno avera rutafrigahie.
[Even though wicked people may be very powerful like] young lions, [God] will get rid of them [MET].
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.
[They will die like] fierce lions [that] starve to death when there are no animals that they can kill and eat, and [their children will be separated from each other like] young lions separate from each other [to find food].”
12 Hagi tamage nanekea oku'a sumi sumi hu'za eme nasmizage'na antahi'noe.
“I heard a message that someone came and whispered to me.
13 Vahe'mo'za mase himrenageno, kenage ava'nafi ana nanekea eme nasmizage'na anhintahi hakare nehugeno,
He spoke to me at night when I was having a bad dream that disturbed/frightened me while I was fast asleep.
14 tusi nagogo nefegeno, zaferinani'a omne amne nehige'na, tusi nahirahiku hu'noe.
It caused me to be afraid and tremble; it caused all my bones to shake.
15 Mago zaho erino navufi evigeno, navufga nazokamo'a harahara huno oti vagare'ne.
A ghost glided past my face and caused the hair on [on the back of] my neck to stand straight 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 stopped, but I could not see what form it had. But [I could sense that] there was some being in front of me, and it said in a quiet voice,
17 Anumzamofo avurera mago vahe'mo'a fatgo osu'ne. Tro'ma hurante'nea Anumzamofo avurera magora agru vahera omanifta hu'ne.
‘(Does God consider anyone to be righteous?/No human beings can be righteous in God’s sight!) [RHQ] (Their creator cannot consider them to be pure./Can their creator consider them to be pure?) [RHQ]
18 Anumzamo'a eri'za vahe'anena antahi nozmino ankero vahe'amofo havi zamavu'zmava zana refko huno nezamage.
God cannot be sure that his own angels [will always do what is right]; he declares that some of them have done what is wrong.
19 Hagi vahera Anumzamo'a mopareti eri kripeno tro hunteneankino (moth) afovage brebrema rehapatiaza hugahie.
So he certainly cannot trust human beings who were made from dust and clay, who are crushed as easily as moths are crushed!
20 Hagi trazamo'za nantera fore hute'za, kinaga sege'za frizankna hu'za ana fri fanane hazage'za antahi nozamize.
People are sometimes well in the morning, but in the evening they are dead. They are gone forever and do not even know it (OR, and no one pays any attention to it).
21 Seli nozmimofo nofira katufe atrazageno pasru hiankna hu'za knare antahintahi omne vahe nefrize.
They are like [MET] tents that collapse [suddenly]: They die [suddenly] before they become wise.’”
