Job 11
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and sayde,
Zoofaari Naaʼimaatichi akkana jedhee deebise:
2 Should not the multitude of wordes be answered? or should a great talker be iustified?
“Dubbiiwwan kunneen hundi deebii argachuu hin qabanii? Dubbii baayʼisuun qajeelaa nama godhaa?
3 Should men holde their peace at thy lyes? and when thou mockest others, shall none make thee ashamed?
Of jajuun kee afaan nama qabachiisaa? Yommuu ati qoostu namni si ifatu hin jiruu?
4 For thou hast sayde, My doctrine is pure, and I am cleane in thine eyes.
Ati Waaqaan, ‘Barsiisni koo qulqulluu dha; ani fuula kee duratti hirʼina hin qabu’ jetta.
5 But, oh that God would speake and open his lippes against thee!
Maaloo utuu Waaqni sitti dubbatee, utuu afaan isaas sitti saaqqatee
6 That he might shewe thee the secretes of wisedome, howe thou hast deserued double, according to right: know therefore that God hath forgotten thee for thine iniquitie.
icciitii ogummaa siif ibsee ani akkamin hawwa! Ogummaan dhugaan bifa lama qabaatii. Kanaafuu Waaqni cubbuu kee muraasa akka siif irraanfate beeki.
7 Canst thou by searching finde out God? canst thou finde out ye Almighty to his perfection?
“Icciitii Waaqaa qorattee bira gaʼuu yookaan yaada Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu qorattee bira gaʼuu dandeessaa?
8 The heauens are hie, what canst thou doe? it is deeper then the hell, how canst thou know it? (Sheol h7585)
Isaan samiiwwan caalaa ol fagaatu; ati maal gochuu dandeessa? Qilee awwaalaa caalaas gad fagaatu; ati maal beekuu dandeessa? (Sheol h7585)
9 The measure thereof is longer then the earth, and it is broader then the sea.
Safarri isaa lafa caalaa dheerata; galaana caalaa balʼata.
10 If hee cut off and shut vp, or gather together, who can turne him backe?
“Yoo inni dhufee mana hidhaatti si galche, yoo waldaa murtiis walitti qabe eenyutu isa dhowwuu dandaʼa?
11 For hee knoweth vaine men, and seeth iniquitie, and him that vnderstandeth nothing.
Dhugumaan inni sobdoota ni beeka; inni yommuu jalʼina argutti hin qalbeeffatuu?
12 Yet vaine man would be wise, though man new borne is like a wilde asse colte.
Yoo harreen diidaa nama taʼee dhalate malee gowwaan ogeessa taʼuu hin dandaʼu.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him:
“Taʼus yoo ati yaada kee gara isaatti deebiftee harka kees gara isaatti diriirsite,
14 If iniquitie be in thine hand, put it farre away, and let no wickednesse dwell in thy Tabernacle.
cubbuu harka kee keessa jiru yoo of irraa fageessite, akka wanni hamaanis dunkaana kee keessa hin jiraanne yoo goote,
15 The truely shalt thou lift vp thy face without spot, and shalt be stable, and shalt not feare.
ati qaanii tokko malee fuula kee ol qabachuu dandeessa; sodaa tokko malees jabaattee dhaabatta.
16 But thou shalt forget thy miserie, and remember it as waters that are past.
Ati dhugumaan rakkina kee ni irraanfatta; akkuma lolaa darbeettis ni lakkoofta.
17 Thine age also shall appeare more cleare then the noone day: thou shalt shine and bee as the morning.
Jireenyi kee aduu saafaa caalaa ifa; dukkanni isaas akkuma barii ganamaa taʼa.
18 And thou shalt bee bolde, because there is hope: and thou shalt digge pittes, and shalt lye downe safely.
Waan abdiin jiruuf ati hin sodaattu; naannoo kee ni ilaalta; nagaadhaanis ni boqotta.
19 For when thou takest thy rest, none shall make thee afraide: yea, many shall make sute vnto thee.
Ati ni rafta; namni tokko iyyuu si hin sodaachisu; namoonni baayʼeenis fuula kee barbaadu.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall faile, and their refuge shall perish, and their hope shalbe sorow of minde.
Iji hamootaa ni dadhaba; karaan ittiin baqatanis isaan jalaa bada; abdiin isaaniis duʼa qofa.”
