Jovu 8
1 Hagi anante Sua kumateti ne' Bildati'a amanage huno Jopuna kenona hunte'ne,
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Hago zazate ama nanekea hane. Kagipinti'ma atiramia nanekemo'a, tusi'a zahokna hie.
“How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.
3 Anumzamo'a fatgo huno refkoma hu avu'ava zana eri arukrahera huno havi avu'ava zana hugahifi? Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'a fatgoma hu'nenia zana, eri arukrahera hugahifi?
Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4 Hagi mofavre nagatamimo'zama Anumzamofo avure'ma kumi'ma hazageno'a, ana kumi'zmimofo nona'a ana hazenkefi zamavarenente.
When your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion.
5 Hianagi kagrama Anumzamofontegama nunamuma hunka Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'ma asunku'ma hugantesigu'ma antahinegenka,
But if you would earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,
6 kavukva zampina fatgo hunka nemaninka, fatgo zanke'ma hanankeno'a, Anumzamo'a tamage huno tra'aretira otino ete kazeri so'e hanigenka, ko'ma mani'nana kante manigahane.
if you are pure and upright, even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous estate.
7 E'ina hanigenka ko'ma ante'nanazana agaterenka rama'a zantami antegahane.
Though your beginnings were modest, your latter days will flourish.
8 Hagi korapa knafima mani'zama e'naza vahetami zmantahigenka negenka, tagehe'zama mani'zama e'naza nomani'zana negenka rempi hunka antahio.
Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.
9 Na'ankure tagra meni vahe mani'nonkeno, knatimo'a atupa hu'neankita, mago zana antahita keta osu'none. Ana hu'neankino zagemo'ma rentegeno amema'amo'ma fore huteno ame huno'ma fanenema hiankna huta frigahune.
For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow.
10 Hianagi ko'ma mani'za e'naza vahe'mo'za rempi hugamigahaze. Zamagra korapa vahetmimofo knare antahintahi eri'nazanki'za ana antahintahia rempi hugamigahaze.
Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?
11 Varozamo'a (Papyrus) hapa'ma hu'nesia mopafina knare huno hagegahie. Hagi hapapi uha trazamo'a tima omnenenifina knare huno hagegahio?
Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?
12 Hagi hapapi varozamo'a zahufama amosrema nehenigeno ana mopafima me'nenia timo'ma hagegema hinkeno'a, ame huno hagege hugahianagi mago'a trazamo'za ame hu'za hagegea osugahaze.
While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
13 Anumzamofoma zamage'nama hunemiza vahe'mokizmire'ma, amuha'ma nehaza zamo'a amane zankna hugahie.
Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
14 Hagi hankave'a omne zante'ma, amuha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za pamponkemofo nofiteti eri anafru hu'za eramiza haviza hugahaze.
His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
15 Nontimo tagu'vazigahie hu'za zamagra azeri akona hugahazanagi, ana zamo'a za'zatera menora ovugahie.
He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
16 Hagi Anumzamofoma amagema nontaza vahe'mo'za zagema ohanatinegeno, timo'ma avite'nea mopafi me'nea tra'zamo'ma hozafima agatama reno vuno eno'ma hiaza zamagra nehaze.
He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.
17 Hagi ana trazamofo arafu'namo'a hageno havere ome azeri antrako nehie.
His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.
18 Hianagi ana tra'zama eri vatitresageno'a, ana mopamo'a avresra hunenteno nagra kagrira onkage'noane huno hugahie.
If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’
19 Hagi havi avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za osi'a knafi musena hute'za frisageno, ru vahe'mo'za ana mopafina fore hu'za zamagri nona eri'za manigahaze.
Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.
20 Ana nehuno tamage huno Anumzamo'a hazenke'ama omane vahera amefira huomigosie. Hianagi tamagerfa huno kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahera aza huno azeri hankavea otigahie.
Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.
21 Hagi Anumzamo'a kazeri knare hina kagipintira kiza zokago kege nehunka, musenkege hunka manigahane.
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.
22 Ha' vahekamo'zama kavresrama hunegantaza vahera zamazeri zamagaze nehuno, kefo vahera zamazeri haviza hugahie.
Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
