Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Eliihuun ittuma fufee akkana jedhe:
2 Allow me a little, and I will show thee. For I have yet somewhat to say on God's behalf.
“Ani akka qooda Waaqaa wanni jedhamu hedduun jiru sitti nan argisiisaatii mee xinnoo naa obsi.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my maker.
Ani beekumsa koo fagoodhaa nan fida; qajeelummaa Uumaa kootiis nan labsa.
4 (For truly my words are not false.) He who is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Akka dubbiin koo soba hin taʼin mirkaneeffadhu; kan beekumsaan hirʼina hin qabne tokko si wajjin jira.
5 Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
“Waaqni jabaa dha; garuu eenyun iyyuu hin tuffatu; inni jabaa dha; kaayyoo isaattis cimee dhaabata.
6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives to the afflicted their right.
Inni hamoota hin jiraachisu; warra rakkataniif garuu murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but he sets them forever with kings upon the throne, and they are exalted.
Ija isaa qajeeltota irraa hin buqqifatu; mootota wajjin teessoo irra isaan teessisa; bara baraanis ol isaan guddisa.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be taken in the cords of afflictions,
Garuu yoo namoonni foncaadhaan hidhaman, yoo funyoo rakkinaatiinis hidhaman,
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
inni hojii isaanii, daba isaan of tuulummaan hojjetanis isaanitti ni hima.
10 He also opens their ear to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
Inni gurra isaanii sirreeffama dhaggeeffachuuf ni bana; akka isaan waan hamaa irraa qalbii jijjiirratanis ni ajaja.
11 If they hearken and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Isaan yoo ajajamanii isa tajaajilan, bara jireenya isaanii badhaadhummaan, umurii isaaniis gammachuudhaan fixatu.
12 But if they do not hearken, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Yoo ajajamuu baatan garuu, goraadeedhaan badu; beekumsa malees ni duʼu.
13 But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They do not cry for help when he binds them.
“Warri garaan isaanii Waaqa irraa fagaate, aarii of keessatti kuufatu; yommuu inni foncaan isaan hidhutti illee gargaarsa barbaachaaf hin iyyan.
14 They die in youth, and their life perishes among the unclean.
Isaan dargaggummaa isaanii keessa duʼu; jireenyi isaaniis xuraaʼota gidduutti bada.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
Inni garuu warra dhiphatan dhiphina isaanii keessaa baasa; rakkoo isaanii keessattis isaanitti dubbata.
16 Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no confinement, and that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.
“Inni dhiphina keessaa si baasee gara lafa balʼaa dhiphina hin qabneetti, maaddii coomaan guutametti si geessa.
17 But thou have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold,
Amma garuu murtiin hamootaaf malu sirra tuulameera; murtii fi haqni si qabataniiru.
18 and there shall be wrath upon the impious because of the ungodliness of bribes which the unrighteous receive.
Akka badhaadhummaan si hin gowwoomsine of eeggadhu; akka baayʼinni mattaʼaas karaa irraa si jalʼisu hin godhin.
19 Will thy cry not avail in distress, or all the forces of strength?
Badhaadhummaan kee yookaan tattaaffiin kee guddaan sun hundi rakkoo irraa si eeguu dandaʼaa?
20 Do not desire the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
Halkan itti namoonni mana isaaniitii buqqifaman hin hawwin.
21 Take heed. Do not turn to iniquity, for thou have fixed on this because of affliction.
Ati akka hamminatti hin deebine of eeggadhu; qooda rakkinaa waan kana filatteertaatii.
22 Behold, God does loftily in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
“Kunoo Waaqni humna isaatiin ol ol jedheera; barsiisaan akka isaa eenyu?
23 Who has enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou have wrought unrighteousness?
Namni karaa isatti himu, yookaan kan, ‘Ati dogoggorteerta’ isaan jedhu eenyu?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, of which men have sung.
Hojii isaa kan namoonni faarfannaadhaan jajan sana, leellisuu hin dagatin.
25 All men have looked on it. Man beholds it afar off.
Namni hundinuu argeera; tokkoon tokkoon namaas fagootti xiyyeeffatee ilaala.
26 Behold, God is great, and we do not know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
Dhugumaan Waaqni guddaa dha; nus isa hin beeknu; baayʼina bara isaas namni beekuu hin dandaʼu.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distil in rain from his vapor,
“Inni copha bishaanii ol baasa; hurrii isaas walitti qabee bokkaatti geeddara.
28 which the skies pour down and drop upon man abundantly.
Duumessis jiidha isaa gad coccobsa; bokkaan guddaanis namatti rooba.
29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion?
Eenyutu akka inni itti duumessoota diriirsu, akka inni itti dunkaana isaa keessaa qaqawweessaʼus hubachuu dandaʼa?
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.
Akka inni itti bakakkaa naannoo isaatti bittinneessu, akka inni itti tuujuba galaanaa illee haguugu ilaali.
31 For by these he judges the peoples. He gives food in abundance.
Kun haala inni ittiin saboota bulchuu fi nyaata baayʼinaan isaaniif kennuu dha.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and gives it a command that it strike the mark.
Inni harka isaa bakakkaadhaan ni guuta; akka bakakkaan sun iddoo akeeka isaa dhaʼus ni ajaja.
33 The noise of it tells concerning him. The cattle also concerning the storm that comes up.
Kakawween isaa akka bakakkaan dhufu labsa; looni iyyuu akka inni dhiʼaate beeksisu.
