Yoube 35
1 Yoube! Di da Gode Ea siga ba: ma: ne moloidafa fawane hamosa sia: be, amo da defea hame.
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s,
3 Di da Godema amane sia: sa. ‘Na wadela: i hou da Dima bai hame gala. Na da wadela: i hou hame hamoiba: le, bidi noga: i hamedafa ba: i.’ Amo sia: amola da defea hame.
That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
4 Na da dima amola dia samalalima gilisili adole imunu.
I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
5 Mu ba: ma! Mu mobi gadodafa dialebe amo ba: ma!
Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
6 Di da wadela: le hamoi ganiaba, Gode da se hame naba: loba. Di da wadela: i hou gebewane hamonanea, Gode da Ea hou afadenema: bela: ?
If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 Di da moloidafa hou hamobeba: le, Godema fidima: bela: ? Gode da dima fidisu lamu da hamedei.
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?
8 Dia da wadela: le hamobeba: le, dunu eno da se naba. Amola dia da noga: i hou hamosea, amo da ilia hou fidisa.
Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; And thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man.
9 Gasa fi dunu da eno dunu banenesisia, ilia da gogonomosa. Ilia dunu eno ili gaga: ma: ne wele sia: sa.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 Be ilia da ili hahamosu Godema hame sinidigisa. Be ilia da gasi dunasi amo ganodini se nabawane esalea, Gode da ilima hobea misunu hahawane hou dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu imunusa: dawa:
But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night,
11 Ilia Godema hame sinidigisa. Be Gode da bagade dawa: su hou ninima iaha. Amola E da amo ninima iabeba: le, ninia asigi dawa: su da ohe fi amola sio fi huluane ilia asigi dawa: su baligisa.
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
12 Ilia da Godema, ili fidima: ne wele sia: sa, be Gode da ilima dabe hame adole iaha. Bai ilia da hidale gasa fili agoane wadela: le hamosa.
There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
13 Ilia udigili agoane fidima: ne wele sia: sa. Bai Gode Bagadedafa da ili hame ba: sa amola ilia sia: hame naba.
Surely God will not hear an empty [cry], Neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Yoube! Di Gode hame ba: sa sia: sa! Be gebewane ouesaloma! Gode da Ea ilegei eso doaga: sea, fofada: mu.
How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
15 Di da Gode da se dabe hame iaha dawa: sa. Di da Gode da wadela: i hou hame abodesayale dawa: sa.
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
16 Di da bu gebewane sia: nanumu da hamedei. Na ba: loba, dia da bai hame dawa: beba: le, udigili sia: daha.
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.
