Yoube 16
1 Yoube da amane sia: i,
Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
2 “Na da musa: sia: agoaiwane nabasu. Dilia na dogo denesima: ne sia: be amoga na da se fawane naba.
“I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
3 Dilia da mae yolele, nama gebewane sia: nanoma: bela: ? Dilia abuliba: le dilia sia: fawane da dagomusa: sia: dawa: sala: ?
Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
4 Dilia da na sogebiga esala ganiaba amola na da dilia sogebiga esala ganiaba, na da dilia sia: be liligi go huluane sia: musa: dawa: la: loba. Na da na dialuma noga: le fofoga: ne amola sia: bagohame da amoga dili mogososonesimu.
If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
5 Na da dilima fada: i sia: be amoga dili mololesila: loba, amola dili denesima: ne, na da dilima gebewane fada: i sia: na: noba.
But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
6 Be na sia: be amoga nina: hame fidisa amola ouiya: le esalebe amoga na se nabasu da hame gumisa.
“But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
7 Gode! Di da na nimi guminisi, amola Di da na sosogo fi fane lelegema: ne, logo doasi.
God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
8 Di da na gagulaligi dagoi. Di da na ha lai dunu. Na da geloga: i, amaiba: le eno dunu ilia da amo ba: lu, na da wadela: le hamoiba: le se naba, ilia da agoane dawa: digisa.
He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
9 Gode da nama ougiba: le, na da: i dadega: le fasisa. E da nama higale, sosodo aligisa.
Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
10 Dunu da nama mi gasesa. Ilia da na guba: le eale disili, na odagi ilia loboba: ga fasa.
People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
11 Gode da na wadela: i hamosu dunugili i dagoi.
[It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
12 Na da musa: olofole esalu. Be Gode da na galogoa gaguli, na bagadewane fananu, banenesi dagoi. Gode da nama bagadewane dadiga dimaga: su hamoi.
Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
13 E da la: idi la: idi nama dadiga gala: sa. Amo dadi da na da: i damana gala: le fifili sasalisa. Be amomane E da nama asigi hou hame olelesa.
people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
14 E da na gala: le sasanone fifili sasalisa. E da doulasi dadi gagui dunu ea higale doagala: su hou defele, nama doagala: lala.
[It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
15 Na da dinana amola eboboi abula ga: sisa. Amola na da gulu da: iya da: i dioiwane fisa.
[“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
16 Na da dinanawane, na odagi da maga: me gasa: sa. Na si da fofasa.
My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
17 Be na da hame gegei amola na da moloiwane Godema sia: ne gadosa.
[All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
18 Osobo bagade! Wadela: i hou nama hamoi dia mae wamolegema! Na da Godema, E da na da moloidafa sia: ma: ne, wele guda: sa. Na wele guda: sea mae ouiya: ma: ma!
[When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
19 Dunu afae Hebene ganodini esala da wa: legadole, e da namagale aligima: ne sia: mu.
But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
20 Na na: iyado dunu da naba: le ba: sola: sa. Na da Godema dini iaha.
My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
21 Na da namagale na: iyado amo da na fidima: ne Godema edegemu, na da agoai dunu nama misa: ne hanai gala.
I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
22 Na da da: i sasegabe wea. Amola na da sinidigimu hamedei logo amoga ahoa.
[I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
