Jovu 9
1 Hagi Jopu'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne,
Then Job replied,
2 Kagrama hanana tamage hane. Hianagi inankna huno Anumzamofo avurera mago vahe'mo'a fatgo vahera manigahie?
“Yes, I certainly know that [much of] what you said is true. But (how can anyone say to God, ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it.’) [RHQ]
3 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma Anumzamofoma tauseni'a zupa keagarera avrenteno keaga huntegahianagi, magore huno keagafina agateoretfa hugahie.
If someone wanted to argue with God [about that], God could ask him 1,000 questions, and that person would not be able to answer any of them!
4 Na'ankure Anumzamofona knare antahi'zamo'a avite'nenkino tusi'a hihamu'ane Anumza mani'ne. Hagi Anumzamofoma ha'ma rentaza vahe'mo'za zamagra'a zamavate hazenkea eri'za ketere hu'naze.
God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful; no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
5 Agra arimpama ahegeno'a, kea osu'neno antri hazaza huno agonaramina zamatufe zamatrege'za haviza nehaza Anumza mani'ne.
He even moves mountains, without them (OR, anyone) knowing about it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.
6 Agra mopa eri kaza huno atufetregeno noma'a atreno arufi nevigeno, mopamofo tra'a eri kaza nehia Anumza mani'ne.
He sends earthquakes that shake the ground; he causes the pillars that support the earth to tremble.
7 Hagi Agrama zagegu'ma huno, hanatinka mareorio huno'ma hanigeno'a, zagemo'a hanatino mareorisnigeno, ofunku'ma remsa osuo huno'ma hinkeno'a, ofumo'a remsa osugosie.
[Some days] he speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and [some nights] he prevents the stars from shining.
8 Agrake haroma hiaza huno mona eri rutarenenteno, hagerimo'ma krantonkrantoma hifina agofetura agatre azatre huno vano nehie.
He alone (stretched out/put in place) the sky; he alone puts his feet on the waves (OR, on the huge sea monster).
9 Agrake ofuntamina tro huno kankamunte kankamunte zamantege'za kevure kevure mani'nazankino zamagi'a Beama, Orioma, Pleiadesima, sauti kaziga monafima metruma nehaza hanafitaminena tro hunte'ne.
He put in their places [the clusters/groups of stars that are called] The Dipper/Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars in the southern sky.
10 Agra ruzahu ruzahu zantmi tro huntegeno knare zantfa hu'neankino, ana zantamina hamprigara osu'ne.
Only he does great things that we cannot understand; he does more marvelous things than we are able to count.
11 E'ina hu'neanagi Agrama erava'oma nehige'na nagra nonkogeno, enagatereno'ma eviama'a kena antahi'na nosue.
He passes by where I am, but I do not see him; he moves further on, but I do not see him go.
12 Hagi Agrama nazanoma erinaku'ma haniazama e'nerisigeno'a, mago vahe'mo'a azeorige, na'a nehane hunora antahi onkegahie.
If he [wants to] snatch something away, no one [RHQ] can hinder him; no one dares to ask him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ [RHQ]
13 Hagi Anumzamo'a rimpa ahe'zana azeorigosiankino Rehapue nehaza osifaveramina hagerimpintira amne zamazerino aganutira zamarehapatigahie.
God will not very easily stop being angry; he defeated [MTY] those who [tried to] help Rahab, [the great sea monster].
14 E'ina hu'negu nagra iza'na Anumzanena keaga huge, mago'a zamofo nanekea hu'na eri fatgo hugahue?
“So, [if God took me to court], what could I say [MTY] to answer him?
15 Hagi nagrira hazenkeni'a omne'nesianagi nagra iza'na Anumzamofona ke hakarea huntegahue? Hagi magoke'zana Agrama asunku'ma hunantesigu antahigegahue.
Even though I (would be innocent/would not have done what is wrong), I would not be able to answer him. All I could do would be to request God, my judge/accuser, to act mercifully toward me.
16 Hagi nagrama keagare'ma avre'na e'na keagama eme huntesuana, nagrama antahuana, tamage huno Agra ke'ni'a antahi onamigahie hu'na nagesa nentahue.
If I summoned him to [come to the courtroom] and he said that he would come, I would not believe that he would pay attention to what I would say.
17 Na'ankure Agra ununko'nu hara renenanteno agafa'a omne zante nazeri havizantfa huno nataza nenamie.
He sends storms to batter me, and he bruises me many times (without any reason to do that/even though I am innocent).
18 Agra natrege'na nasimura e'noruanki, hazenke namino nasimu kana renkrirege'na natagura nehu'na nasimu ante'zanku nehue.
[It is as though] he will not let me get/catch my breath, because he causes me to suffer all the time.
19 Hagi nagrama Anumzamofo hanavema rehe'na kenaku'ma hanuanana, nagri hanavea agatereno hanavenentake hu'ne. Hagi keagama erifatgoma hunaku'ma hanuana, keagafina agateregara osu'noe.
If I would try to (wrestle with/fight against) him, [there is no way that I could defeat him, ] [because] he is stronger than I am. If I would request him to appear in court, there is no one who could [RHQ] force him to go there.
20 Nagra hazenkea osu'noanagi, nagra hu'nesua kere anteno hazenke hu'nane huno hunantegahie. Nagra mago havizana osu'noanagi nagrama hu'nesua kemo, kefo avu'ava'ene vahere huno hunantegahie.
Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished [MTY]; even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.
21 Nagrira mago hazenkeni'a omne'neanagi, nagragura nagesa nontahue. Nagra nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zankura navresra nehie.
“I have not done what is wrong, but that is not important. I despise continuing to remain alive.
22 Hazenke osu vahero, hazenke vahero, Anumzamofo avurera magozahu vahe mani'none. Agra hazenke osu vahe'ene hazenke vahe'enena zamahe fanane nehie.
But it doesn’t matter, because God will get rid of [all of us, ] both those who are innocent and those who are wicked.
23 Hagi antrima hazaza huno'ma hazenke zamo'ma hazenke'ama omne vahe'ma ahe frigeno'a Anumzamo'a ana knazankura ki'za nere.
When people experience disaster and it causes them to suddenly die, God laughs at it, even if they are innocent.
24 Mago vahe'mo'ompge Anumzamo keagama refkoma nehaza vahera zamavua eri sukigeno, kefo avu'ava'ma hu vahe'mofo azampi mopamo'a nevie. Hagi Anumzamo'ma ana'ma osanigeno'a, iza anara hugahie?
God has allowed wicked people to control [what happens in] the world. [It is as though] he has caused judges to be blindfolded, [with the result that they cannot judge fairly]. If it is not God who has put wicked people in control, who has done it?
25 Zamagama neraza vahe'mo'zama zamagama nerazama'a zamagatereno knanimo'a tusiza huno aganere. Ana hu'neanki'na knare'zana fore hanige'na onkegahue.
“My days go by very quickly, like a fast runner; [it is as though] they run away, and nothing good happens to me on those days.
26 Knanimo'a ventemo hagerimpi agasasa oruno agareankna nehuno, tumpamo ne'zaga'a aheno nenaku eri kafagino hareno takaureankna huno knamo'a tusi aganere.
My life goes by very rapidly, like a boat made from reeds sailing swiftly, or like an eagle that swoops down to seize a small animal.
27 Hagi nagrama knama nehuazama nage'nekani'na, nasunku'ma nehua zana atre'na muse navugosa nehue.
If I smile and say [to God], ‘I will forget what I am complaining about; I will stop looking sad and try to be cheerful/happy,’
28 Hianagi nagra maka nata zankura tusi koro nehue. Na'ankure kagra kefo zani'a nagenka erifore hugahane.
then I become afraid because of all that I am suffering, because I know that God does not consider that I am innocent.
29 Ko'ma nageno antahino'ma hige'na kumi vahe' mani'noanki, nagafare nagra amne zampina fatgo vahe'ma mani'zantera maraguzatigahue.
He will (condemn me/declare that I should be punished), so why should I keep trying in vain [to defend myself]?
30 Hagi sopenutira tina fre'na nazeri agru nehu'na, hankave marasinireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza soperetira nazana sese hugahuanagi,
If I washed myself with snow or cleansed my hands with lye/soap [to get rid of my guilt],
31 Anumzamo'a hapake kerifi nasaga hutrena, hapake hu'na hi'mnage ha'nenkeno, kukenanimo'enena tusiza huno agote nantegahie.
he would still throw me into a filthy pit; as a result [it would be as though] even my clothes would detest me.
32 Anumzamo'a mopafi vahe knara osu'neanki'na, nagra Agri'enena fravazige, avre'na keaga huntegera osugahue.
“God is not a human, as I am, so there is no way that I could answer him [to prove that I am innocent] if we went together to have a trial [in a courtroom].
33 Hagi amu'nonte vahera magora mani'neresina keagati'a eri fatgo huno tazeri mago hiresine.
There is no one to (mediate/hear us and decide who is right), no one who has authority over both of us [IDM].
34 Agra amu'nonte ne'mo'a Anumzamofona asmigeno kanoma nenamia zana atrege'na ru'enena agrama knazama namino nazeri koro nehia knazankura korora osu'na manusine.
I wish/desire that he would stop punishing [MTY] me, and that he would not continue to terrify me.
35 Ana hige'na korora osu knazani'amofo keaga Anumzamofona asamusinagi nagra hankaverera e'inara osugahue.
If he did that, I would declare [that I am innocent] without being afraid of him, because I know that I really have not [done what is wrong like God thinks that I have].”
