Yoube 4
1 Ilaifa: se da amane sia: i,
Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
2 “Yoube! Na da dima sia: sea, di da ougima: bela: ? Na bu ouiya: mu hamedei ba: sa!
Hast thou been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of thy words?
3 Di da dunu bagohame ilima olelesu. Di da dunu bagohame, ili gasa lama: ne fidisu.
For whereas thou hast instructed many, and hast strengthened the hands of the weak one,
4 Dunu afae da helebeba: le goaiyane didigabone dafaloba, dia sia: beba: le, e da dogo denesini, aligi.
and hast supported the failing with words, and hast imparted courage to feeble knees.
5 Be wali bidi hamosu da dima doaga: i, amola di da amoga gasa fili mae aligili sidadabonei agoai ba: sa.
Yet now [that] pain has come upon thee, and touched thee, thou art troubled.
6 Di da Godema nodone sia: sa hawa: hamosu, amola dia esalusu amo ganodini dima sia: i afae hame fada: su, amaiba: le di da dia dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su amoga ga: nasili aligimu da defea.
Is not thy fear [founded] in folly, thy hope also, and the mischief of thy way?
7 Waha bu sinidigili, musa: hamosu dawa: ma! Nowa da moloidafa hou hamoi, be e da baligiliwane se nabasu ba: bela: ? Agoaiwane hame ba: su.
Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?
8 Na da ba: loba, dunu ilia wadela: i hou fawane hawa: agoane bugimusa: dawa: lala. Be waha ilia da wadela: i hou bugi gamisu agoane gugunufinisisu hou ba: sa.
Accordingly as I have seen men ploughing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.
9 Gode da amo wadela: i hamosu dunuma ougi bagadeba: le, E da mulu bagade defele ili wadela: lesisa.
They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath.
10 Wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ilia da laione wa: me agoane husa amola hagega: sa. Be Gode da ili ouiya: lesisa amola ilia bese gugulisisa.
The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.
11 Ilia da laione wa: me amo da ohe fane manu hamedei ba: sa, amola ha: i manu hame galea, bogobe, amo defele bogogia: sa. Ilia da bogosea, ilia mano huluane da afagogosa.
The old lion has perished for want of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another.
12 Eso afaega, sia: nama misi da ouiya: lewane nama mabeba: le, na da fada: ne hame nabi.
But if there had been any truth in thy words, none of these evils would have befallen thee. Shall not mine ear receive excellent [revelations] from him?
13 Amo sia: da golaiya wadela: i liligi agoai ba: beba: le amoga na da fofogadigili nedigi.
But [as when] terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night,
14 Na da fofogadigili, beda: ga, na da: i huluane yagugui.
horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake.
15 Fo hisi da na odagia fogala: le, na da beda: ga, na dialuma hinabo afafai.
And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered.
16 Na da liligi afae lelebe ba: i, be na da sosodolaligi, be amo liligi na fada: ne hame dawa: i galu. Eno liligi da ouiya: le dialebe ba: i. Amalalu, na da amane sia: be nabi,
I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there, was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, [saying],
17 “Dunu afae da Gode Ea ba: ma: ne moloidafa esalabala? Dunu afae da Osobo Bagade Hahamosu Ea ba: ma: ne ledo hamedei esalabala?
What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works?
18 Gode da Hebene ganodini hawa: hamosu dunu, ilia da Ea liligi noga: le ouligima: ne hame ilegesa. E da Ea a: igele dunu amolawane ilima giadofasu hou ba: sa.
Whereas he trust not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels.
19 Amaiba: le, dia dawa: loba Gode da osoboga hamoi dunu amo Ea liligi noga: le ouligima: ne ilegema: bela: ? Hame mabu! Bai osobo bagade dunu da guluga hamoiba: le, aowaba defele hedolo gagoudai dagoi ba: sa.
But [as for] them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth.
20 Amabela: ? Ninia da hahabe esalebe ba: sa, be mae daeyagili, bogoi dagoi ba: mu.
And from the morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they cannot help themselves.
21 Ninia gagui huluane da bu sasamogene dagoi ba: mu. Ninia asigi dawa: su hame fada: iyawane bogosa.”
For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.
