1 Elifasi'ma anagema hutegeno Jopu'a amanage huno kenona hunte'ne.
Then Job answered,
2 Hagi nasuzampima mani'noa zamofo kna'ane hazenke zani'amofo kna'anema sigerire'ma erinte'za kazasina,
“Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
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.
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore my words have been rash.
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.
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5 Hagi afi donki afu'mo'zane bulimakao afu'mo'za trazama me'nege'zama nene'za krafa nosaze.
Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 Hagi hagema ontegeno'ma hagama osu ne'zana vahe'mo'za amnea negahazafi? Nama amu'amofo efeke'amo'a haga hugahifi?
Can that which has no flavour be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
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.
My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
8 E'igu Anumzamo'a nunamuni'a nentahino, nagesama nentahua zana hunantesiegu nave'nesie.
“Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
9 Anumzamo'a nare hapati'nige'na fruresina knare nehigeno, Anumzamo'a azana rusuteno nahege'na fruresina knare hisine.
even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Knazampi mani'ne'na natagura nehuanagi, nazeri knare hugahie. Na'ankure knazampima mani'ne'na Ruotge'ma Hu'nemofona kea huhavizana huonte'noe.
Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
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.
What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Hanavenimo'a havegna huno hanavenentake higeno, navufgamo'a bronsimo'ma hiaza hu'nefi?
Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
13 Hagi nagra'a naza hugara nosugeno, ama ana knazama agatere kankmuna omnetfa hie.
Isn’t it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?
14 Hagi Hihamu'ane Anumzamofoma korora hunontesnia vahe'mo'agi, rone'amo'ma knafima mani'nenigeno'a knare avu'ava huntegahie.
“To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
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.
My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 Hagi zagemo'ma aisima teze'ze higenoma, tima hageno'ma eviankna vahe mani'naze.
which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
17 Hianagi ana timo'a ra zagema regeno'a neranegeno, tusi amuhoma higeno'a, tima eneviretira taneno hagege nehie.
In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
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 that travel beside them turn away. They go up into the waste, and perish.
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 caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
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.
They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
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.
For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
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?
Did I ever say, ‘Give to me’? or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance’?
23 Hagi ha' vahe'nimofo zamazampintira nagu'vazio hu'na huge, kefo vahetmimofo zamazampintira nagu'vazio hu'na mago'mokagura osu'noe.
or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors’?
24 Hagi akoheno'ma mani'zana rempi hunaminke'na kea osu' akohe'na mani'neno. Hagi havizama hu'ne'nua zana naveri hiho.
“Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.
25 Tamage nanekema hu'zamo'a tusi katagrigahie. Hianagi keha'ma rezamo'a, nanknare'za erifore hugahie?
How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
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?
Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
27 Ana nehutma satu zokago reta negeta, megusa mofavreramine, ronetaminena zagore zamatregahaze.
Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
28 Hianagi menina muse nehuta kama nageho, tamagri tamavufina nagra havige nehufi?
Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will not lie to your face.
29 Tamagra havigea huta kumi hune huta nazeri haviza hu kea osiho. Na'ankure nagra mago hazenkea osu'noe.
Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
30 Tamagrama tamagesama antahi'zana, nagra havige nehufi? Nagra fatgo zane knare zanena ke'na antahi'na osugahufi?
Is there injustice on my tongue? Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
