Jovu 20

1 Hagi anante Na'ama kumateti ne' Sofari'a amanage huno Jopuna kenona hunte'ne,

Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,

2 Nanekema hana nanekemo'a, antahintahinifina knarera osutfa hige'na keka'arera ke nona'a hu'zahue.

For this cause my thoughts are troubling me and driving me on.

3 Kagrama nazeri havizahu nanekema hana nanekemo'a, tusiza huno nagaze eri namige'na, nagu'areti hu'na keka'arera kenona hugante'za hue.

I have to give ear to arguments which put me to shame, and your answers to me are wind without wisdom.

4 Hanki ese agafare'ma vahe'ma zamazeri fore hige'za ama mopafima mani'za e'za, amare'ma ehanati'naza vahete'ma fore hu'nea zana kagra ontahi'nano,

Have you knowledge of this from early times, when man was placed on the earth,

5 kefo zamavu'zmava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zazatera musena nosage'za, Anumzamofo avu'ava'ma nosaza vahe'mo'za musena nehazanagi, zazatera menora novie.

That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

6 Zamavufga rama hu'zazmimo'ene hihamu zmimo'a amename monarega marenerigeno, zamasenimo'a hampo avako hu'ne.

Though he is lifted up to the heavens, and his head goes up to the clouds;

7 Hianagi rifama retrageno'ma fananema hiaza hu'za fanane hugahaze. Hanki zamage'za antahi'zama hu'naza vahe'mo'za anage hugahaze, zamagra iga mani'naze? hu'za hugahaze.

Like the waste from his body he comes to an end for ever: those who have seen him say, Where is he?

8 Zamagra ava'nafi vahekna hu'za hare'za fanane hugahaze. Hagi vahe'mo'za avanagnaza ke'naza zamo fanane hiankna hu'za ana vahe'mo'za fanane hugahaze.

He is gone like a dream, and is not seen again; he goes in flight like a vision of the night.

9 Hanki ko'ma zamage'naza vahe'mo'za ru'enena nozmagesageno, naga'zmimozanena ozmagegahaze.

The eye which saw him sees him no longer; and his place has no more knowledge of him.

10 Hanki ana vahe'mofo mofavrezmimo'za, zamunte omne vahe'ma zamazama hanagura memea hugahaze. Na'ankure zmafahe'zama zamunte omne vahe'mokizmi fenoma musufama eri'naza zantamina, zamagra'a zamazampinti ete zami'za vano hugahaze.

His children are hoping that the poor will be kind to them, and his hands give back his wealth.

11 Hihamu'a me'nenigeno kasefa vahe manigahianagi, ana hihamu hankave'ane frino kugusopafi masegahie.

His bones are full of young strength, but it will go down with him into the dust.

12 Zamagra kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza zamo'a tusi haga zamavesige'za tima'a aru'za nene'za, zamagefunaretira hune hane nehaze.

Though evil-doing is sweet in his mouth, and he keeps it secretly under his tongue;

13 Ana kefo avu'ava zana notrazanki zamagipi haninkofite'za nemanize.

Though he takes care of it, and does not let it go, but keeps it still in his mouth;

14 Hianagi ana ne'zamo'a aka ome hanigeno, zamarimpafina ha osifavemofo avu'ataga zankna ome hugahie.

His food becomes bitter in his stomach; the poison of snakes is inside him.

15 E'ina hinke'za fenoma asagahu nakri'naza zana Anumzamo'a atre'nigeno zamarimpafina omnegosianki, amu'ma atitreaza huno eri atregahie.

He takes down wealth as food, and sends it up again; it is forced out of his stomach by God.

16 Hanki ana vahe'mo'za osifa'vemofo avuatga zama'a anivazu hu'za nenesageno, ha' osifavemo zamaprisige'za frigahaze.

He takes the poison of snakes into his mouth, the tongue of the snake is the cause of his death.

17 Ana hanige'za ru'enena olivi masavena nege, bulimakamofo amirine, tume rima'anena nene'za musena osugahaze.

Let him not see the rivers of oil, the streams of honey and milk.

18 Hanki eri'zama maraguzati'za eri'za erifore'ma hu'naza zantamina zamunte omne vahe zaminageno maraguzati'za eri'zama eri'naza zamo'a amnezankna hugahie.

He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading.

19 Na'ankure zamagra zamunte omne vahetmina, rezmatga hu'za zamagra onki'naza none fenozmine eri'naze.

Because he has been cruel to the poor, turning away from them in their trouble; because he has taken a house by force which he did not put up;

20 Zamagragukema antahi vahe'mo'za maka'zana ante'nazanagi, ru'enema maka'zama erisaza zankuke nehaze. Hanki rama'a zantmima antesaza zanku antahintahi hugahazanagi, ana zantamina ontegahaze.

There is no peace for him in his wealth, and no salvation for him in those things in which he took delight.

21 Hagi ne'zama neneno'a magore huno negenora notreankino, fenozamimo'a zazatera omneno haviza hugahie.

He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.

22 Hanki rama'a fenoza antegahazanagi, hazenkefi ufre'za knazampina maniza vugahaze.

Even when his wealth is great, he is full of care, for the hand of everyone who is in trouble is turned against him.

23 Hanki e'inahukna vahera Anumzamo'a arimpafina hazenkeza eri avitenenteno tusi arimpa ahenteno hazenkea amigahie.

God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

24 Hanki ainireti'ma tro'ma hu'nesaza ha'zanku koro hu'za fregahazanagi, bronsire kevenuti zamahegahaze.

He may go in flight from the iron spear, but the arrow from the bow of brass will go through him;

25 Hanki ana kevenu'ma ahe taponesigeno amagenafinti'ma ruraponenkeno'a, keve agonare'ma koramo'ma hanigeno kesuno'a tusi agogogu hugahie.

He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears.

26 Hanki maka zago fenozmia hanimpi fanene hanigeno, mago'ama mesia fenozmine seli nozmi'nena tusi'a tevemo hagana hagana huno te fanene hugahie.

All his wealth is stored up for the dark: a fire not made by man sends destruction on him, and on everything in his tent.

27 Monamo'a kefozazmia eriama nehinkeno, mopamo'a maka zama hu'naza zana huama huzmantegahie.

The heavens make clear his sin, and the earth gives witness against him.

28 Hanki ana vahe'mokizmi none fenozazminena tihageno erino nevanigeno, Anumzamofo arimpahe zamo'a tihageankna huno zamavareno vugahie.

The produce of his house is taken away into another country, like things given into the hands of others in the day of wrath.

29 Anumzamo'a kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahera e'ina huno zamahe fanane hugahie. Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahetmimofo mizama Anumzamo'ma havi miza erigahazema huno'ma huhampri zmante'nea mizana e'ina hu'za erigahaze.

This is the reward of the evil man, and the heritage given to him by God.
