Job 36
1 And Elihu proceeded and said,
Eliihuun ittuma fufee akkana jedhe:
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for God.
“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 Creator.
Ani beekumsa koo fagoodhaa nan fida; qajeelummaa Uumaa kootiis nan labsa.
4 For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Akka dubbiin koo soba hin taʼin mirkaneeffadhu; kan beekumsaan hirʼina hin qabne tokko si wajjin jira.
5 Lo, God is mighty, but despiseth not [any]; mighty in strength of understanding:
“Waaqni jabaa dha; garuu eenyun iyyuu hin tuffatu; inni jabaa dha; kaayyoo isaattis cimee dhaabata.
6 He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.
Inni hamoota hin jiraachisu; warra rakkataniif garuu murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.
Ija isaa qajeeltota irraa hin buqqifatu; mootota wajjin teessoo irra isaan teessisa; bara baraanis ol isaan guddisa.
8 And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,
Garuu yoo namoonni foncaadhaan hidhaman, yoo funyoo rakkinaatiinis hidhaman,
9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.
inni hojii isaanii, daba isaan of tuulummaan hojjetanis isaanitti ni hima.
10 And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth 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 accomplish 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 hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.
Yoo ajajamuu baatan garuu, goraadeedhaan badu; beekumsa malees ni duʼu.
13 But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:
“Warri garaan isaanii Waaqa irraa fagaate, aarii of keessatti kuufatu; yommuu inni foncaan isaan hidhutti illee gargaarsa barbaachaaf hin iyyan.
14 Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
Isaan dargaggummaa isaanii keessa duʼu; jireenyi isaaniis xuraaʼota gidduutti bada.
15 But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in [their] oppression.
Inni garuu warra dhiphatan dhiphina isaanii keessaa baasa; rakkoo isaanii keessattis isaanitti dubbata.
16 Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of 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 art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
Amma garuu murtiin hamootaaf malu sirra tuulameera; murtii fi haqni si qabataniiru.
18 Because there is wrath, [beware] lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.
Akka badhaadhummaan si hin gowwoomsine of eeggadhu; akka baayʼinni mattaʼaas karaa irraa si jalʼisu hin godhin.
19 Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strength!
Badhaadhummaan kee yookaan tattaaffiin kee guddaan sun hundi rakkoo irraa si eeguu dandaʼaa?
20 Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.
Halkan itti namoonni mana isaaniitii buqqifaman hin hawwin.
21 Take heed, turn not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Ati akka hamminatti hin deebine of eeggadhu; qooda rakkinaa waan kana filatteertaatii.
22 Lo, God is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?
“Kunoo Waaqni humna isaatiin ol ol jedheera; barsiisaan akka isaa eenyu?
23 Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?
Namni karaa isatti himu, yookaan kan, ‘Ati dogoggorteerta’ isaan jedhu eenyu?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate.
Hojii isaa kan namoonni faarfannaadhaan jajan sana, leellisuu hin dagatin.
25 All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off.
Namni hundinuu argeera; tokkoon tokkoon namaas fagootti xiyyeeffatee ilaala.
26 Lo, God is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
Dhugumaan Waaqni guddaa dha; nus isa hin beeknu; baayʼina bara isaas namni beekuu hin dandaʼu.
27 For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth,
“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 But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion?
Eenyutu akka inni itti duumessoota diriirsu, akka inni itti dunkaana isaa keessaa qaqawweessaʼus hubachuu dandaʼa?
30 Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
Akka inni itti bakakkaa naannoo isaatti bittinneessu, akka inni itti tuujuba galaanaa illee haguugu ilaali.
31 For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance.
Kun haala inni ittiin saboota bulchuu fi nyaata baayʼinaan isaaniif kennuu dha.
32 [His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike.
Inni harka isaa bakakkaadhaan ni guuta; akka bakakkaan sun iddoo akeeka isaa dhaʼus ni ajaja.
33 His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.
Kakawween isaa akka bakakkaan dhufu labsa; looni iyyuu akka inni dhiʼaate beeksisu.
