Yoube 22
1 Ilaifa: se da amane sia: i,
Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
2 “Dunu afae da Gode fidimu hamedei. Dafawane! Baligili bagade dawa: su dunu amolawane da Gode fidimu hame dawa:
Is it not the Lord that teaches understanding and knowledge?
3 Di da moloidafa hou hamobeba: le, Gode fidimu dawa: bela: ? Hame mabu!
For what matters it to the Lord, if you were blameless in [your] works? or is it profitable that you should perfect your way?
4 Gode da dima gagabole sia: sa amola dima fofada: sa. Be amo ea bai da di da Godema nodone beda: iba: le hame.
Will you maintain and plead your own cause? and will he enter into judgement with you?
5 Hame mabu! Dima fofada: su ea bai da di wadela: i hou hamonanebe amoga hamosa.
Is not your wickedness abundant, and your sins innumerable?
6 Di da dia sama dima ea imunu muni ima: ne sesemusa: , ea abula huluane samogei. Amalalu, e da abula ga: simu hame ba: i.
And you have taken security of your brethren for nothing, and have taken away the clothing of the naked.
7 Di da helebe dunuma hano hame dili i. Amola ha: aligi dunuma ha: i manu imunu higa: i.
Neither have you given water to the thirsty to drink, but have taken away the morsel of the hungry.
8 Di da gasa bagade amola mimogo hamoiba: le, soge huluane sasamogei.
And you have accepted the persons of some; and you have established those [that were already settled] on the earth.
9 Di da didalo uda ili fidimu higa: i. Amola di da guluba: mano ilia liligi wamolai amola ilima se iasu.
But you have sent widows away empty, and has afflicted orphans.
10 Amaiba: le, di sa: ima: ne dogoi da di sisiga: i diala. Amola di da hedolowane beda: sa.
Therefore snares have compassed you, and disastrous war has troubled you.
11 Gasi da bagadeba: le, di da ba: mu gogolei. Amola hano da heda: iba: le, di hahani ba: sa.
The light has proved darkness to you, and water has covered you on your lying down.
12 Gode da gadodafa Hebene ganodini esala. Amola gasumuni da gadodafa, be Gode da amo dabuagadonini ba: le gudusa.
Does not he that dwells in the high places observe? and has he not brought down the proud?
13 Be di da amane sia: sa, ‘Gode da adi dawa: bela: ? E da mu mobiga uligi. E da habodane ninima fofada: ma: bela: ?’
And you has said, What does the Mighty One know? does he judge in the dark?
14 E da mu da: iya gado ahoasea, E da mu mobiga uligiba: le, nini hame ba: ma: bela: ? E da ba: mu!
A cloud is his hiding-place, and he shall not be seen; and he passes through the circle of heaven.
15 Di da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia eso huluane ahoasu logo amoga hanabela: ?
Will you [not] mark the old way, which righteous men have trodden?
16 Ilia wadela: mu ilegei eso da mae doaga: iwane, ilia da hano leda: i amoga mini asi dagoi ba: i.
who were seized before their time: their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream.
17 Amo dunu ilia da Gode higasu. Ilia da Gode da ili fidimu defele esala amo dafawaneyale hame dawa: su.
Who say, What will the Lord do to us? or what will the Almighty bring upon us?
18 Be Gode Hi fawane da ili bagade gagui ilima i. Na da wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia asigi dawa: su hamedafa dawa: digisa.
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel for the wicked is far from him.
19 Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ilima se dabe iasea, noga: i dunu amola moloidafa hamosu dunu da hahawaneba: le oufesega: sa.
The righteous have seen [it], and laughed, and the blameless one has derided [them].
20 Wadela: i dunu ilia gagui liligi huluane da wadela: lesisa. Amola hame wadela: lesi liligi dialebe, amo huluane da laluga ulagisisa.
Verily their substance has been utterly destroyed, and the fire shall devour what is left of their [property].
21 Yoube! Di Godema olofole gousa: ma! Ema ha lasu agoane mae hamoma! Agoane hamosea, E da dima hahawane dogolegele fidisu imunu.
Be firm, I pray you, if you can endure; then your fruit shall prosper.
22 Ea dima olelebe amo lalegaguma! Ea sia: dia dogo ganodini dialoma: ne ligisima.
And receive a declaration from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 Dafawane! Di fonoboiwane, Godema sinidigima! Wadela: i hou amo da dia diasuga hamonanebe ba: sa, amo huluane yolesima!
And if you shall turn and humble yourself before the Lord, you have [thus] removed unrighteousness far from your habitation.
24 Dia gouli huluane galadigima! Dia gouli noga: idafa amo hafoga: i hano logoa amogai sanasima!
You shall lay up for yourself [treasure] in a heap on the rock; and Sophir [shall be] as the rock of the torrent.
25 Gode Bagadedafa, E fawane da dia gouli amola silifa lelegela heda: i agoane dialoma: ne, logo doasima!
So the Almighty shall be your helper from enemies, and he shall bring you forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire.
26 Amasea, di da eso huluane Gode dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Amola E da dia hahawane hou ea bai dialebe, di da ba: mu.
Then shall you have boldness before the Lord, looking up cheerfully to heaven.
27 Di da Ema sia: ne gadosea, E da dima dabe adole imunu. Amola di da ilegele sia: sea, di da amo defele hamomu.
And he shall hear you when you pray to him, and he shall grant you [power] to pay your vows.
28 Dia da, dia hamomu liligi huluane didili hamomu. Amola hadigi da dia ahoabe logo olemu.
And he shall establish to you again a habitation of righteousness and there shall be light upon your paths.
29 Gode da gasa fi gaguia gudulisisa. Amola E da asaboi dunu gaguia gadosa.
Because you have humbled yourself; and you shall say, [Man] has behaved proudly, but he shall save him that is of lowly eyes.
30 Di da wadela: le hame hamosea, be moloidafa fawane hamosea, E da di gaga: mu.”
He shall deliver the innocent, and do you save yourself by your pure hands.
