Jovu 6

1 Elifasi'ma anagema hutegeno Jopu'a amanage huno kenona hunte'ne.

Then Job spoke again, saying [to Eliphaz],

2 Hagi nasuzampima mani'noa zamofo kna'ane hazenke zani'amofo kna'anema sigerire'ma erinte'za kazasina,

“If all my troubles and misery could be put on a scale and weighed,

3 maka hagerinkenafi kaseparamimofo kna'a agateresine. E'inama hu'nea zankura nagra nagesa antahi so'e osu ame'ama hu'na rama'a kea hu'noe.

they would be heavier than all the sands [on the shores] of the oceans. That is why I spoke (very rashly/without thinking clearly) [about the day that I was born].

4 Na'ankure Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'a keve nahetrege'na masenogeno ana keveraminte'ma fre'nea avuatga zamo'a nazeri haviza nehie. Ana nehigeno nazeri koro'ma hu'zantamima Anumzamo'ma huntegeno e'nea zamo'a navuga emanimpi huneno nazeri korora nehie.

[It is as though] Almighty [God] has shot me with arrows. [It is as though] those arrows had poison on their tips, and that poison has gone into my spirit. The things that God has done to me have terrified me.

5 Hagi afi donki afu'mo'zane bulimakao afu'mo'za trazama me'nege'zama nene'za krafa nosaze.

Just like a wild donkey does not [complain by] braying when it has plenty of grass to eat, and an ox does not [complain by] bellowing when it has food to eat [MET], [I would not complain if you were really helping/comforting me].

6 Hagi hagema ontegeno'ma hagama osu ne'zana vahe'mo'za amnea negahazafi? Nama amu'amofo efeke'amo'a haga hugahifi?

People complain [RHQ] when they must eat food which has no salt or other tasteless food [MET], [and that is what your words are like, Eliphaz].

7 Nagra e'inahu' ne'zama avako'ma hu'zankura navresra nehie. E'inahu ne'zama nenogeno'a, amuti nagesa nehige'na ana nezama ne'zankura tusi nagonete.

Just like I do not want to eat food [like that], and I loathe/detests that kind of food [MET], [I do not appreciate what you have said to me].

8 E'igu Anumzamo'a nunamuni'a nentahino, nagesama nentahua zana hunantesiegu nave'nesie.

“I wish that God would do for me what I have requested from him [DOU].

9 Anumzamo'a nare hapati'nige'na fruresina knare nehigeno, Anumzamo'a azana rusuteno nahege'na fruresina knare hisine.

I wish that he would crush me [and let me die]. I wish that he would reach out his hand and take away my life.

10 Knazampi mani'ne'na natagura nehuanagi, nazeri knare hugahie. Na'ankure knazampima mani'ne'na Ruotge'ma Hu'nemofona kea huhavizana huonte'noe.

If he would do that, I would be comforted by knowing that in spite of the great pain that I have suffered, I have always obeyed what [God, ] the Holy One, has commanded.

11 Hankave'ni'a omne'neanki'na hanaveti'na mani'ne'na ama ananknazana eri'na ovugosue. Akohena mani'ne'na ama ana knafima ufre hankaveni'a omnetfa hie.

But now I do not have [RHQ] enough strength to endure all these things. And since I have nothing [to hope for] in (the future/this life), it is difficult for me to be patient now [RHQ].

12 Hanavenimo'a havegna huno hanavenentake higeno, navufgamo'a bronsimo'ma hiaza hu'nefi?

I am not [RHQ] strong like rocks are, and my body is not made of bronze.

13 Hagi nagra'a naza hugara nosugeno, ama ana knazama agatere kankmuna omnetfa hie.

So I am not able to help myself, and [it seems that] there is no one to rescue me.”

14 Hagi Hihamu'ane Anumzamofoma korora hunontesnia vahe'mo'agi, rone'amo'ma knafima mani'nenigeno'a knare avu'ava huntegahie.

“When a man has many troubles, his friends should be kind to him, even if he stops revering Almighty [God].

15 Hagi nenafugatma tamagra, hagegema hu'nea tinkagomupi ko'ma rigeno tusi tima hageno eteno, ko'ma rusegeno'ma ame huno'ma taneankna vahe mani'naze.

But [you, ] my friends, are not dependable. You are like streams: They spill over their banks [in the spring]

16 Hagi zagemo'ma aisima teze'ze higenoma, tima hageno'ma eviankna vahe mani'naze.

when [the melting] ice and snow make those streams overflow,

17 Hianagi ana timo'a ra zagema regeno'a neranegeno, tusi amuhoma higeno'a, tima eneviretira taneno hagege nehie.

but when the dry season comes, there is no water flowing [in those streams], and the channels dry up.

18 Hagi fenozama zagorema netraza vahe'mo'za (Karivani) hagege ka'ma kokampima enevu'za tinku'ma zamavesige'zama umani fru hu'zama tima nenaku'ma hazana, timo'a tanenege'za tinkura huge'za fri'naze.

[The caravans of merchants] turn off the path [to search for some water], but there is no water, so they die [in the desert].

19 Hagi Tema kumateti fenozama zagore'ma netraza vahe'mo'zama enevu'za ana krahopima tinku'ma kazana tina omnene. Hagi Siba kumateti vahe'mo'zanena enevu'za ana tina negahune hu'za amuhara hu'nazanagi onke'naze.

The men in those caravans search [for some water] because they are sure that they will find some.

20 Hagi zamagra ana tina enevifi hu'zama ome kazana ana timo'a tanegeno, ana tima negahunema hu'za amuha'ma hu'za e'naza zamo'a amnezankna hu'ne.

But they do not find any, so they are very disappointed.

21 Hagi menina tamagoana timoma taneaza huta naza hugara osaze. Na'ankure nagri'ma eme nagazana, tusi knaza eri'na mani'nogeta, tusi tamagogogu nehaze.

Similarly, you friends have not helped me at all! You have seen that terrible things have happened to me, and you are afraid [that God might do similar things to you].

22 Nagra mago'mokagura hu'na nagri nagi erinka muse'za amio hu'na huge, magomokagura hu'na fenonka'afintira mago'azana erinka knazampintira atesinka navro hu'na hu'nofi?

[After I lost all my wealth, ] did I ask any of you for money? [RHQ] Did I plead with any of you to spend some of your money to help me [RHQ]?

23 Hagi ha' vahe'nimofo zamazampintira nagu'vazio hu'na huge, kefo vahetmimofo zamazampintira nagu'vazio hu'na mago'mokagura osu'noe.

Have I asked any of you to rescue me from my enemies [RHQ]? Have I asked you to save me from those who (oppressed me/treated me badly) [RHQ]? [No!]”

24 Hagi akoheno'ma mani'zana rempi hunaminke'na kea osu' akohe'na mani'neno. Hagi havizama hu'ne'nua zana naveri hiho.

“Answer me [now, and then] I will be quiet; tell me what wrong things I have done!

25 Tamage nanekema hu'zamo'a tusi katagrigahie. Hianagi keha'ma rezamo'a, nanknare'za erifore hugahie?

When people speak what is true, that will not hurt the person who hears it, but what you say, criticizing me, [is not true, so your saying it] proves nothing [RHQ]!

26 Tamagrama tamagesa antahi'zana, tagrama huna ke antahino amage antegahie huta nehuta, knazampima mani'ne'na nazama huzanku'ma nehakoa vahe'mo'na nanekea eri amne hazageno zahoknara nehio?

I am a man who has nothing to hope for, but you try to correct me, and you think what I say is nothing but wind [RHQ]!

27 Ana nehutma satu zokago reta negeta, megusa mofavreramine, ronetaminena zagore zamatregahaze.

You do not sympathize with me at all [for all that I am suffering]. [You are heartless!] You would even gamble to see who gets an orphan [as a prize]!

28 Hianagi menina muse nehuta kama nageho, tamagri tamavufina nagra havige nehufi?

Please look at me! I will not [RHQ] lie to you.

29 Tamagra havigea huta kumi hune huta nazeri haviza hu kea osiho. Na'ankure nagra mago hazenkea osu'noe.

Stop [saying that I have sinned, and] stop criticizing me unjustly! You should realize that I have not done things that are wrong.

30 Tamagrama tamagesama antahi'zana, nagra havige nehufi? Nagra fatgo zane knare zanena ke'na antahi'na osugahufi?

Do you think that I am lying? No, I am not lying, because I know what is right and what is wrong [RHQ].”
