< Yoube 11 >

1 Soufa da amane sia: i,
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
2 “Nowa da amo gagaoui sia: amoma adole ima: bela: ? Di da sia: bagade sia: beba: le, bu moloidafa hamobela: ? Hame mabu!
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be accounted right?
3 Yoube! Di adi dawa: bela: ? Di da ninia dima adole imunu da hamedei amo dawa: sala: ? Di da habosesele sia: beba: le, ninia da sia: hamedei agoane ba: mu, di da dawa: sala: ?
Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;
4 Dia sia: da dafawane, di da sia: sa. Di da Gode Ea ba: ma: ne moloi fawane, di da sia: sa.
And thou hast said: 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in Thine eyes.'
5 Na hanai da Gode Hisu da dima adole imunu da defea.
But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against thee;
6 E da dima adole iabe ganiaba, E da dima Ea asigi dawa: su houdafa da osobo bagade dunu ilia asigi dawa: su bagadewane baligisa, amo adole ia: noba. Gode da dia hamobe defele, se hame iaha.
And that He would tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
7 Di da Gode Ea bagadedafa hou amola gasa bagade hou huluane dawa: mu da hamedei.
Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?
8 Di da mu digili ba: mu gogolesa. Be Gode da mu amola liligi huluane baligisa. Gode da bogoi dunu ilia soge dawa: be. Be di da amo hame dawa: (Sheol h7585)
It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than the nether-world; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)
9 Gode Ea bagadedafa hou da osobo bagade amola hano wayabo bagade elea ba: de baligisa.
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 Gode da di afugili gagulaligisia, amola fofada: musa: di oule ahoasea, nowa da Ea logo hedofama: bela: ?
If He pass by, and shut up, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?
11 Gode da hamedei dunu huluane dawa: E da ilia wadela: i hou huluane ba: lala.
For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?
12 Sigua dougi da fofoi dougi defele lalelegesea, amo esoga gagaoui dunu da muni bagade dawa: su dunu defele ba: mu.
But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.
13 Yoube! Dia hou moloma! Godema sinidigima!
If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward Him —
14 Dia wadela: i hou yolesima!
If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents —
15 Amasea, di mae beda: iwane, osobo bagadega bu hahawane esaloma!
Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear;
16 Amasea, di da dia bidi hamosu amo bu hame dawa: mu. Hano leda: sea, fonobahadi dialu, bu hasa. Amo defele, dia bidi hamosu wali diala, da hobea bu hame ba: mu.
For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away;
17 Dia esalusu da eso dogoa digagala: be defele ba: mu. Amola dia se nabasu eso da hehebolo mabe defele ba: mu.
And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
18 Di da gaga: iwane amola dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: iwane esalumu. Gode da di gaga: le, dima helefisu imunu.
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt look about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Di da dia ha lai dunuma hame beda: mu. Dunu bagohame da dia ili fidima: ne adole ba: mu.
Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20 Be wadela: le hamosu dunu da ba: le gagale, da: i dioi fawane ba: mu. Ilia da hobeamu logo hame ba: mu. Ilia hanai da ilia hedolowane bogoma: ne fawane dawa: sa.”
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul.
