Yoube 4
1 Ilaifa: se da amane sia: i,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered Job.
2 “Yoube! Na da dima sia: sea, di da ougima: bela: ? Na bu ouiya: mu hamedei ba: sa!
“Could I say a word? I don't want to upset you but who could keep quiet and not respond?
3 Di da dunu bagohame ilima olelesu. Di da dunu bagohame, ili gasa lama: ne fidisu.
You've certainly encouraged many people and supported those who are weak.
4 Dunu afae da helebeba: le goaiyane didigabone dafaloba, dia sia: beba: le, e da dogo denesini, aligi.
Your advice has helped those who are stumbling not to fall, and you have strengthened those whose knees are weak.
5 Be wali bidi hamosu da dima doaga: i, amola di da amoga gasa fili mae aligili sidadabonei agoai ba: sa.
But now you're the one suffering and you're upset.
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.
Wasn't it your reverence for God that gave you confidence and your integrity that gave you hope?
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.
Think about it: since when did the innocent die? Since when were good people 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.
From what I've seen it's those who plant evil and sow trouble who reap the same!
9 Gode da amo wadela: i hamosu dunuma ougi bagadeba: le, E da mulu bagade defele ili wadela: lesisa.
A breath from God destroys them; a blast of his anger wipes them out.
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.
Lions may roar and growl, but their teeth still break.
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.
Even a lion dies from lack of food, and the lioness' cubs are scattered.
12 Eso afaega, sia: nama misi da ouiya: lewane nama mabeba: le, na da fada: ne hame nabi.
A word quietly crept up on me; a whisper reached my ear.
13 Amo sia: da golaiya wadela: i liligi agoai ba: beba: le amoga na da fofogadigili nedigi.
Troubling thoughts came to me in nightmares when you fall into a deep sleep.
14 Na da fofogadigili, beda: ga, na da: i huluane yagugui.
I became terrified and trembled; all my bones were shaking.
15 Fo hisi da na odagia fogala: le, na da beda: ga, na dialuma hinabo afafai.
Then a breath brushed my face and gave me goose-pimples.
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,
Something stopped, but I couldn't see its face. My eyes could only make out a shape. It was totally quiet, and then I heard a voice:
17 “Dunu afae da Gode Ea ba: ma: ne moloidafa esalabala? Dunu afae da Osobo Bagade Hahamosu Ea ba: ma: ne ledo hamedei esalabala?
‘Can anyone be right before God? Can anyone be pure before their Maker?
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.
If he doesn't even trust his servants, and he says his angels make mistakes,
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.
how much more does this apply to those who live in these houses made of clay, whose foundations are based on dust, who fall apart like clothing to a moth?
20 Amabela: ? Ninia da hahabe esalebe ba: sa, be mae daeyagili, bogoi dagoi ba: mu.
Alive in the morning, they are dead by evening. They die, unnoticed.
21 Ninia gagui huluane da bu sasamogene dagoi ba: mu. Ninia asigi dawa: su hame fada: iyawane bogosa.”
They are like tent ropes that are pulled up, and they collapse in death. They die without wisdom.’
