Yoube 8
1 Bilida: de da amane sia: i,
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 “Dia sia: da udigili fo agoane ahoa. Amo sia: da dagobela: ?
“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 Gode da moloidafa hou hamedafa giadofasa. E da eso huluane moloidafa hou fawane hamosa.
Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 Amabela: ? Dia mano ilia Godema wadela: le hamobeba: le, E da ilia hamobe defele se iasu dabe ilima i.
If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 Amaiba: le, di sinidigili, Gode Bagadedafa Ema edegema.
If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
6 Dia hou da moloidafa amola ledo hamedei, di da sia: sa. Amai galea, Gode da di fidima: ne misunu. Amola E da dia liligi fisi amo huluane dima bu imunu.
If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
7 Dia liligi bagadedafa da fisi dagoi. Be di da Godema bu sinidigisia, E da dima imunu liligi da dia musa: gagui fisi, amo bagadewane baligimu.
Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
8 Di wahadafa, ninia aowalali ilia bagade asigi dawa: su ba: ma. Ilia da bagadewane hogolalu, asigi dawa: su noga: i lai dagoi.
“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
9 Bai ninia esalusu da dunumuni, hedolo dagomu. Ninia da asigi dawa: su hame gala. Ninia da udigili baba agoane osobo bagadega ahoa.
(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
10 Be ninia siba aowalalia olelesu lamu da defea. Ilia musa: fada: i sia: su noga: le nabima!
Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Hano da hame galea, saga: da hame heda: sa. Saga: da heahai soge ganodini fawane ba: sa.
“Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
12 Be hano da hafoga: sea, saga: fonobahadi hame damui liligi da hedolowane biosa.
While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
13 Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui dunu da amo saga: agoai gala. Ilia da Gode Ea hou hedolowane gogoleba: le, ilia dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su da fisi dagoi ba: sa.
So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
14 Ilia da ogome diasu gou momoge afae fawane dafawaneyale dawa: sa.
whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
15 Ilia da gou momoge afae amoba: le heda: sea, dafama: bela: ? Ilia da ogome gou momoge afae galiamo agoai gagusia, noga: le leloma: bela: ? Hame mabu!
He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
16 Eso masea, wadela: i gagalobo da osoboga hedolo heda: le, ifabi huluane wadela: sa. Wadela: le hamosu dunu da amo defele heda: sa.
He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
17 Wadela: i gagalobo difi da igi huluane ha: giwane idinigilisili lala: bolosa.
His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
18 Be dunu da amo gagalobo a: le fasisia, ilia da musa: amo sogebi dialu, dunu ilia da hamedafa dawa: mu.
If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 Dafawane! Wadela: le hamosu dunu da fonobahadi hahawane esalu, fa: no bu hamedafa ba: mu. Eno wadela: le hamosu dunu da ilia sogebi lamu.
Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
20 Be Gode da Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu hamedafa yolesimu. Amola E da wadela: le hamosu dunu hamedafa fidimu.
“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 E da logo doasimuba: le, di da bu oumu amola hahawane wele sia: mu.
He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
22 Be Gode da dia ha lai dunuma se dabe imunuba: le, ilia da gogosiamu. Amola wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia diasu da bu hamedafa ba: mu.”
Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
